Application of extended single-reaction multiplex polymerase chain reaction for toxin typing of Staphylococcus aureus isolates in South Korea. Int J Food Microbiol 2005; 97:137-45.

Abstract
The extended single-reaction multiplex PCR (esr-mPCR) developed in this study to detect staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs), including SEA, SEB, SEC, SED, SEE, SEH, SEI, and SEJ, requires fewer sets of primers than other conventional multiplex PCRs and can be used to detect newly identified staphylococcal enterotoxins SEs more readily. Esr-mPCR analysis of 141 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus obtained from abattoir and livestock product samples revealed that 27 of the S. aureus isolates were toxigenic, and two were 2 multitoxigenic isolates. The most prevalent SE type was SEI followed by SEA and SEH. In addition, we investigated the clonal relatedness of toxigenic S. aureus isolates by arbitrarily primed PCR (AP-PCR). AP-PCR analysis of toxigenic S. aureus isolates revealed that the discriminatory power of AP-PCR was 9 (D=0.81), 8 (D=0.77), and 10 types (D=0.83) with primers AP1, ERIC2, and AP7, respectively. The combination of three each AP-PCR result could rearrange toxigenic S. aureus isolates into 10 types and five subtypes, with the D-value of 0.92. Interestingly, our data showed that toxigenic S. aureus isolates from different sources had different fingerprinting patterns although some of them carried the same types of SE genes. These data suggest that combinations of esr-mPCR and AP-PCR can provide a powerful approach for epidemiological investigation of toxigenic S. aureus isolates.

Abstract
The monolayer of fourth-generation poly(amidoamine) dendrimers was adopted to construct the immunoaffinity surface of an antibody layer. The antibody layer as a bait on the dendrimer monolayer was found to result in high binding capacity of antigenic proteins and a reliable detection. The affinity-captured protein at the immunosensing surface was subjected to direct on-chip tryptic digestion, and the resulting proteolytic peptides were analyzed by using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The performance of the on-chip digestion procedure was investigated with respect to the ratio of trypsin to protein, digestion time, composition of a reaction buffer, and the amount of affinity-captured protein on a surface. Addition of a water-miscible organic solvent to a reaction buffer had no significant effect on the digestion efficiency under the optimized digestion conditions. The on-chip digestion method identified the affinity-captured bovine serum albumin (BSA), lysozyme, and ferritin at the level of around 100 fmol. Interestingly, the detected number of peptide hits through the on-chip digestion was almost similar regardless of the amount of captured protein ranging from low- to high-femtomole levels, whereas the efficiency of in-solution digestion decreased significantly as the amount of protein decreased to low-femtomole levels. The structural alignment of the peptide fragments from on-chip-digested BSA revealed that the limited exterior of the captured protein is subjected to attack by trypsin. The established detection procedures enabled the identification of BSA in the biological mixtures at the level of 0.1 ng/mL. The use of antibodies against the proteins involved in the metabolic pathway of L-threonine in Escherichia coli also led to discrimination of the respective target proteins from cell lysates.

Abstract
Contamination of food with infectious agents, intentional or not, is a global concern with far-reaching economic and social impact. Staphylococcal enterotoxins are a major cause of food poisoning, but most methods for the identification of these agents in food require extensive pretreatment or concentration of the sample prior to analysis. The array biosensor was developed as a portable device for the simultaneous analysis of multiple complex samples for multiple targets with minimal sample preparation. In this study, we use an array biosensor to expand and improve on a staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) assay with the ultimate intent of incorporating testing for SEB into a battery of sensitive and convenient assays for food safety validation. In addition to buffer studies, six different types of food samples, including beverages, homogenates of fruit and meat, and carcass washings, were spiked with SEB, incubated for at least 2 h to permit antigen sequestration, and assayed. For all samples, there were differences in fluorescence intensity, but 0.5 ng of SEB per ml could be detected in <20 min with little if any pretreatment and no sample preconcentration.

Abstract
Detection of Staphylococcus enterotoxin B (SEB) by biomolecular interaction analysis mass spectrometry (BIA/MS) is presented in this work. The BIA/MS experiments were based on a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) MS immunoassay that detects affinity-captured SEB both via SPR and by means of exact and direct mass measurement by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. Experiments were performed with standard samples and food samples to assess the BIA/MS limit of detection for SEB and to set the experimental parameters for proper quantitation. Single and double SPR referencing was performed to accurately estimate the amount of the bound toxin. Reproducible detection of 1 ng of SEB per ml, corresponding to affinity capture and MS analysis of approximately 500 amol of SEB, was readily achieved from both the standard and mushroom samples. A certain amount of SEB degradation was indicated by the signals in the mass spectra. The combination of MS with SPR-based methods of detection creates a unique approach capable of quantifying and qualitatively analyzing protein toxins from pathogenic organisms.

Abstract
The combination of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and mass spectrometry (MS) has created a unique approach to protein investigations. Surface plasmon resonance is used to quantify interactions between proteins and surface-immobilized ligands, and MS is used to determine the structural features of the bound proteins. Recent progress in SPR-MS includes improved methods and operations, increased limits of detection, multi-protein analysis and protein-complex delineation. With the subsequent design of SPR protein arrays, SPR-MS is expected to enter into the field of high-throughput protein interaction discovery and miniaturized diagnostics.

Abstract
The feasibility of multi-affinity ligand surfaces in biomolecular interaction analysis-mass spectrometry (BIA/MS) was explored in this work. Multi-protein affinity surfaces were constructed by utilizing antibodies to beta-2-microglobulin, cystatin C, retinol binding protein, transthyretin, serum amyloid P and C-reactive protein. In the initial experiments, all six antibodies were immobilized on a single site (flow cell) on the sensor chip surface, followed by verification of the surface activity via separate injections of purified proteins. After an injection of diluted human plasma aliquot over the antibodies-derivatized surfaces, and subsequent MALDI-TOF MS analysis, signals representing five out of the six targeted proteins were observed in the mass spectra. Further, to avoid the complexity of the spectra, the six proteins were divided into two groups (according to their molecular weight) and immobilized on two separate surfaces on a single sensor chip, followed by an injection of human plasma aliquot. The resulting mass spectra showed signals from all proteins. Also, the convolution resulting from the multiply charged ion species was eliminated. The ability to create such multi-affinity surfaces indicates that smaller-size ligand areas/spots can be employed in the BIA/MS protein interaction screening experiments, and opens up the possibilities for construction of novel multi-arrayed SPR-MS platforms and methods for high-throughput parallel protein interaction investigations.

Abstract
The utility of biomolecular interaction analysis-mass spectrometry (BIA/MS) in screening for protein-protein interactions was explored in this work. Experiments were performed in which proteins served as ligands for screening of possible interactions with other proteins from human plasma and urine. The proteins utilized were beta-2-microglobulin, cystatin C (cysC), retinol binding protein (RBP), transthyretin (TTR), alpha-1-microglobulin, C-reactive protein, transferrin and papain. The immobilization of functionally active proteins was confirmed via interactions with antibodies to the corresponding proteins. Various dilutions of human urine and plasma were injected over the protein-derivatized surfaces. It was observed that the urine injections generally yielded smaller SPR responses than those observed after the plasma injections. The BIA/MS experiments did not reveal novel protein-protein interactions, although several established interactions (such as those between RBP and TTR, and cysC and papain) were validated. Few protein ligand deficiencies (such as truncations) leading to false negative and false positive BIA/MS results were also discovered.

Abstract
Optical biosensors that exploit surface plasmon resonance, waveguides and resonant mirrors have been used widely over the past decade to analyse biomolecular interactions. These sensors allow the determination of the affinity and kinetics of a wide variety of molecular interactions in real time, without the need for a molecular tag or label. Advances in instrumentation and experimental design have led to the increasing application of optical biosensors in many areas of drug discovery, including target identification, ligand fishing, assay development, lead selection, early ADME and manufacturing quality control. This article reviews important advances in optical-biosensor instrumentation and applications, and also highlights some exciting developments, such as highly multiplexed optical-biosensor arrays.

Abstract
Fishery products are important not only from a nutritional point of view, but also as an item of international trade and foreign exchange earner for a number of countries in the world. Fish and shellfish are highly perishable, and prone to vast variations in quality due to differences in species, environmental habitats, feeding habits, etc. In addition, they can also function as carriers of several microbial and other health hazards. Therefore, maintenance of quality is of utmost importance in production and trade of fishery products. Most of the current quality control techniques are time consuming and cumbersome. There is an excellent scope for the application of biosensors in the seafood industry including the rapidly expanding aquaculture operations for fast assessment of quality. This article discusses the scope of applications biosensors in the seafood industry.

Abstract
Biomolecular interaction analysis mass spectrometry (BIA/MS) is a two-dimensional analytical technique that quantitatively and qualitatively detects analytes of interests. In the first dimension, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is utilized for detection of biomolecules in their native environment. Because SPR detection is non-destructive, analyte(s) retained on the SPR-active sensor surface can be analyzed in a second dimension using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. The qualitative nature of the MALDI-TOF MS analysis complements the quantitative character of SPR sensing and overcomes the shortcomings of the SPR detection stemming from the inability to differentiate and characterize multi-protein complexes and non-specific binding. In this work, the benefit of performing MS analysis following SPR sensing is established. Retrieval and detection of four markers present in biological fluids (cystatin C, beta-2-microglobulin, urinary protein 1 and retinol binding protein) was explored to demonstrate the effectiveness of BIA/MS in simultaneous detection of clinically related biomarkers and delineation of non-specific binding. Furthermore, the BIA/MS limit of detection at very low SPR responses was investigated. Finally, detection of in-vivo assembled protein complexes was achieved for the first time using BIA/MS.

Abstract
Biomolecular interaction analysis mass spectrometry (BIA/MS) is a two-dimensional chip-based analytical technique geared toward quantitative and qualitative analysis of small volumes of biological samples. Interactions between surface-immobilized ligands and solute-borne analytes are quantitatively viewed in real time through surface plasmon resonance sensing, followed by qualitative matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight MS analysis of the analyte(s) affinity-retained on the sensor surface. In this work, BIA/MS was used in the detection of a number of protein biomarkers from human urine. Small volumes of human urine were analyzed for cystatin C, beta(2)-microglobulin, urinary protein 1, and retinol-binding protein (RBP). Multiaffinity sensor surfaces were created to simultaneously and rapidly detect all four proteins in a single BIA/MS analysis on a two-flow cell sensor chip configuration. Furthermore, RBP was analyzed separately from both urine and plasma samples. Results indicate that BIA/MS can be used successfully in rapid screening of a number of urinary proteins indicated as putative biological markers for renal dysfunction.
