Abstract
In this work, an ultra-sensitive lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) with SERS/colorimetric dual signal mode was constructed for the detection of nitrofurazone metabolites, an antibiotic prohibited in animal-origin foods. Au@4-MBN@AgNRs nano-sandwich structural signal tag integrates the unique advantages of high signal-to-background ratio and anti-matrix interference through geometric control of SERS tag and nanoengineering adjustment of chemical composition. Under the optimal conditions, the detection limits of nitrofurazone metabolites by SERS/colorimetric dual-mode LFIA were 20 pg/mL (colorimetric mode) and 0.08 pg/mL (SERS mode). Excitingly, the vLOD of the colorimetric signal improved by a factor of 100 compared to Au NPs-based LFIA. In this study, the proposed dual-mode LFIA was successfully applied to the on-site real-time detection of honey, milk powder, and chicken. It is anticipated that with low background interference and anti-matrix interference output signal, our proposed dual-mode strategy can pave an innovative pathway for the fabrication of a powerful biosensor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND GPCRs are considered essential for various physiological processes and have been the most productive drug targets. Therefore, development of the methods of GPCR ligands screening is a high priority for pharmaceutical industries and research institutions. METHODS We developed a potential method (piggyBac-TANGO) based on the TANGO and PRESTO-TANGO assays. The system was optimized with a piggyBac transposon as a transgene vehicle, and eGFP was used as a reporter instead of luciferase. The assay was validated in the HEK 293T and U87-MG cell lines and antagonist activities of the compounds were assessed. The transgene copy number and long-term stability were evaluated by qPCR. Then, we performed a DRD2-targeted screening for natural products using the piggyBac-TANGO assay. RESULTS The validation assay showed that using the piggyBac transposon as a transgene vehicle produced high signal-to-background ratio and stable readout confirmed by investigation of the transgene copy number and long-term stability. Use of eGFP instead of luciferase as a reporter enabled to create a high throughput system suitable for live cells. Moreover, the piggyBac-TANGO assay permitted versatile detection of antagonist activity of compounds and was not limited to a particular cell type. With the use of the piggyBac-TANGO assay, we have successfully identified a novel agonist of DRD2. CONCLUSION Thus, the results indicate that the piggyBac-TANGO method is a user-friendly, robust and imaging-based assay that provides a novel approach to high throughput GPCR-targeted ligand screening and drug development.
