[PMID: 38731787 PMCID: PMC11083481 DOI: 10.3390/foods13091416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Herein, a catalytic amplification enhanced dual-signal immunochromatographic assay (ICA) based on Pt nanoparticles (Pt NPs) modified with Ti3C2Tx MXene (Ti3C2Tx@Pt) was first developed for chloramphenicol (CAP) in animal-derived foods. Due to the large specific surface area and abundant active sites of Ti3C2Tx@Pt, they can be loaded with hundreds of Pt NPs to enhance their catalytic activity, resulting in a significant increase in the detection sensitivity; the sensitivity was up to 50-fold more sensitive than the reported ICA for CAP. The LODs of the developed method for milk/chicken/fish were 0.01 μg/kg, the LOQs were 0.03 μg/kg and the recovery rates were 80.5-117.0%, 87.2-118.1% and 92.7-117.9%, with corresponding variations ranging from 3.1 to 9.6%, 6.0 to 12.7% and 6.0 to 13.6%, respectively. The linear range was 0.0125-1.0 μg/kg. The results of the LC-MS/MS confirmation test on 30 real samples had a good correlation with that of our established method (R2 > 0.98), indicating the practical reliability of the established method. The above results indicated that an ICA based on the Ti3C2Tx@Pt nanozyme has excellent potential as a food safety detection tool.

Abstract
We have successfully generated oligonucleotide aptamers (Apts) and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting the recombinant nucleocapsid (N) protein of SARS-CoV-2. Apts were obtained through seven rounds of systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX), while mAbs were derived from the 6F6E11 hybridoma cell line. Leveraging these Apts and mAbs, we have successfully devised two innovative and remarkably sensitive detection techniques for the rapid identification of SARS-CoV-2 N protein in nasopharyngeal samples: the enzyme-linked aptamer-antibody sandwich assay (ELAAA) and the hybrid lateral flow strip (hybrid-LFS). ELAAA exhibited an impressive detection limit of 0.1 ng/mL, while hybrid-LFS offered a detection range of 0.1 - 0.5 ng/mL. In the evaluation using ten nasopharyngeal samples spiked with known N protein concentrations, ELAAA demonstrated an average recovery rate of 92%. Additionally, during the assessment of five nasopharyngeal samples from infected individuals and ten samples from healthy volunteers, hybrid-LFS displayed excellent sensitivity and specificity. Our study introduces a novel and efficient on-site approach for SARS-CoV-2 detection in nasopharyngeal samples. The reliable hybrid Apt-mAb strategy not only advances virus diagnostic methods but also holds promise in combating the spread of related diseases.

Abstract
In this study, a chloramphenicol and aflatoxin M1 aptamer-functionalized DNA hydrogel was designed for the simultaneous detection of chloramphenicol and aflatoxin M1 for the first time. The acrydite-modified chloramphenicol aptamer sequence was used to synthesize the DNA hydrogel and for visual detection of chloramphenicol depending on the gel-to-sol transition of the target-responsive DNA hydrogel. The DNA hydrogel formulation was set as follows: 60% of each linear polyacrylamide-DNA conjugate and 40% of acrylamide and chloramphenicol aptamer/DNA strand-1 at a molar ratio of 1:1, and the lowest concentration of chloramphenicol leading to gel dissociation was 1.0 nM at 25 °C. Furthermore, the formalized aptamer-functionalized DNA hydrogel was used to detect aflatoxin M1 by measuring the recovery of the fluorescence signal that was quenched when the FAM-labeled aflatoxin M1 aptamer and BHQ1-labeled DNA strand-2 were hybridized to form a double-stranded DNA in the network of hydrogel. The detection platform was successfully applied to the detection of chloramphenicol and aflatoxin M1, both in aqueous solution and in milk. The aptamer-functionalized DNA hydrogel had detection (LOD) and quantification limits (LOQ) for aflatoxin M1 as 1.7 and 5.2 nM, respectively. Using two aptamer sequences with high affinity and specificity, the dual-sensing platform based on the DNA hydrogel achieved higher selectivity for chloramphenicol and aflatoxin M1, which demonstrated its potential as a reliable simultaneous detection platform against two different targets for monitoring food safety.

Abstract
Highly sensitive and accurate detection of chloramphenicol is of paramount importance for food safety. Herein, an enzyme-modulated photothermal immunosensor that uses a self-calibrated thermal imaging system (SCTIS) as signal read-out was developed for detecting chloramphenicol. In this immunosensor, alkaline phosphatase was used as a modulator of the photothermal conversion. It could hydrolyze the substrate into ascorbic acid, thereby reducing oxidized 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, which exhibited a near-infrared laser-driven photothermal effect. For precise temperature measurement, the SCTIS was designed by using the temperature compensation of a ceramic chip to enable real-time self-calibration of the temperature. This SCTIS-based immunosensor could detect chloramphenicol with a LOD of 9 pg/mL in 2 h, and relative standard derivations from 3.95% to 13.58%. The average recoveries in milk and egg samples ranged from 76% to 114%. This versatile sensing strategy can detect various targets by altering recognition elements, thus has wide applicability in food safety testing and monitoring.

Abstract
Citrinin (CTN) is a mycotoxin primarily produced by Monascus species. Excess consumption of CTN may lead to nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity. A pilot study for commercial production of competitive direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cdELISA) kit and an immunochromatographic strip (immunostrip) for screening CTN in red yeast rice is established in this study. The coating antibody and the CTN-horse radish peroxidase (HRP) concentrations were optimized to increase the sensitivity and specificity of cdELISA kit. The conjugation methods/ratios of CTN to HRP as well as the long-term stability of kit components were also evaluated. The IC50 and detection limit of the ELISA kit were determined to be 4.1 and 0.2 ng mL-1, respectively. Analysis of 20 red yeast rice samples using ELISA kits revealed the contamination levels of CTN from 64 to 29 404 ng g-1. The on-site rapid detection of CTN with the immunostrip showed that CTN levels in seven samples exceeded the regulatory limit of 5 ppm. Additionally, the coefficient correlation between the results of HPLC and ELISA kits of 20 samples was 0.96. Sensitive and convenient tools at commercial levels for detection of CTN contamination in food are established herein to protect the health of the public.

Abstract
AFB1 and heavy metal Cd are two common pollutants during grain storage. The rapid detection of grains before they enter the granary is particularly important. Hence, rapidly, accurately, and sensitively screening contaminated grains, simplifying the detection process, and reducing detection costs are necessary. In this study, linear ranges of time-resolved fluorescence microsphere - immunochromatographic test strip (TRFM-ICTS) detection were 0.01-30 ng/mL (AFB1) and 0.01-60 ng/mL (Cd), and the IC50 values were 0.536 ng/mL (AFB1) and 3.331 ng/mL (Cd). In the TRFM-ICTS sample addition experiment, the recovery rates were all between 90% and 110%. The coefficient of variation was less than 8% in the actual sample detection process of grain. We have established a one-step extraction method for AFB1 and Cd in grains to achieve simultaneous detection in one extraction. In addition, TRFM-ICTS could be stored for at least 12 months, providing technical support for the realization of commercial production.

Determination of trace aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) residue in milk by an immunochromatographic assay based on (PEI/PSS) 4 red silica nanoparticles. Mikrochim Acta 2020; 187:658. [PMID: 33201356 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-020-04636-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2020] [Accepted: 11/06/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) residues in milk pose a major threat to human health, so there is an urgent need for a simple, rapid, and sensitive method for the determination of trace AFM1 in milk. In this study, a competitive immunochromatographic assay (ICA), using visual (PEI/PSS)4 red silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) as signal amplification probes, was used for the highly sensitive detection of AFM1. The (PEI/PSS)4 red SiNPs were used to label AFM1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) to prepare ICA for the detection of AFM1. After exploring the optimal conditions of mAb and immunoprobe dosage conditions, the lowest visual detection limit (VDL) of AFM1 in phosphate-buffered saline with Tween 20 (PBST, 10 mM, pH 7.4, containing 1% BSA, 3% sucrose, 1% trehalose, and 0.5% Tween 20) can reach 0.1 pg/mL. The intuitive visually visible value of AFM1 in both PBST and milk was 10 pg/mL. The results showed that the immunochromatographic system based on high chroma color (PEI/PSS)4 red SiNPs has high sensitivity and broad application prospects for the detection of trace AFM1 residues in milk. The high chroma (PEI/PSS)4 red SiNPs are expected to be a convenient biomarker for improving the sensitivity of immune chromatography bands. Graphical abstract The schematic diagram shows the detection principle. In this work, in the competitive experiment, (PEI/PSS)4 red SiNPs were selected as visual labeling materials, and the specific antibody combined with the labeled material was selected as an immune probe. The AFM1-BSA antigen coupled with the macromolecular BSA was fixed on the T line of the nitrocellulose (NC) membrane. The AFM1 in sample solution competes with AFM1-BSA for the specific binding site of immune probe. The detection sensitivity of this method for AFM1 is obtained by judging the change of the red signal intensity produced by the positive sample, compared with the color at the T line of the negative sample.
