Abstract
A potential cancer antigen (Ag), protein-phosphatase-1-gamma-2 (PP1γ2), with a restricted expression in testis and sperms has been identified as a biomarker specific to cervical cancer (CaCx). Detection of this cancer biomarker antigen (NCB-Ag) in human urine opens up the possibility of noninvasive detection of CaCx to supplement the dreaded and invasive Pap-smear test. A colorimetric response of an assembly of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) has been employed for the quantitative, noninvasive, and point-of-care-testing of CaCx in the urine. In order to fabricate the immunosensor, Au NPs of sizes ∼5-20 nm have been chemically modified with a linker, 3,3'-di-thio-di-propionic-acid-di(n-hydroxy-succinimide-ester) (DTSP) to attach the antibody (Ab) specific to the NCB-Ag. Interestingly, the addition of Ag to the composite of Ab-DTSP-Au NPs leads to a significant hypsochromic shift due to a localized surface plasmon resonance phenomenon, which originates from the specific epitope-paratope interaction between the NCB-Ag and Ab-DTSP-Au NPs. The variations in the absorbance and wavelength shift during such attachments of different concentrations of NCB-Ag on the Ab-DTSP-Au NPs composite have been employed as a calibration to identify NCB-Ag in human urine. An in-house prototype has been assembled by integrating a light-emitting diode of a narrow range wavelength in one side of a cuvette in which the reaction has been performed while a sensitive photodetector to the other side to transduce the transmitted signal associated with the loading of NCB-Ag in the Ab-DTSP-Au NPs composite. The proposed immunosensing platform has been tested against other standard proteins to ensure noninterference alongside proving the proof-for-specificity of the NCB detection.

Abstract
Sepsis is a complex disorder of immune system response to infections that can be caused by a wide range of clinical contexts. Traditional methods for sepsis detection include molecular diagnosis, biomarkers either based on protein concentration or cell surface expression, and microbiological cultures. Development of point-of-care (POC) instruments, which can provide high accuracy and consume less time, is in unprecedented demand. Within the past few years, applications of microfluidic systems for sepsis detection have achieved excellent performance. In this review, we discuss the most recent microfluidic applications specifically in sepsis detection, and propose their advantages and disadvantages. We also present a comprehensive review of other traditional and current sepsis diagnosis methods to obtain a general understanding of the present conditions, which can hopefully direct the development of a new sepsis roadmap.

Procalcitonin Detection in Veterinary Species: Investigation of Commercial ELISA Kits. Animals (Basel) 2020; 10:ani10091511.

Abstract
Simple Summary Among sepsis biomarkers, procalcitonin resulted to be a specific indicator of bacterial infection or severity of infection, and to be a good control of the success of a therapeutic procedure. The clinical studies on the relevance of procalcitonin as a sepsis predictor in veterinary patients are few, likely due to the total absence of validated assays. For this reason, this study aimed to investigate commercial ELISA kits for the detection of canine and equine procalcitonin. Validation was performed evaluating linearity, limits of detection (LOD), recovery, and intra-assay and inter-assay variability; furthermore, clinical samples were analyzed. The results of the present study demonstrate that the human PCT ELISA kit is suitable to detect equine procalcitonin with a LOD of 56 ng/mL, and the canine recombinant PCT ELISA kit can be used to measure canine procalcitonin in plasma samples, showing an intra-assay and inter-assay coefficient of variation less than 20% and a LOD of 11 pg/mL. Abstract In human medicine, procalcitonin (PCT), the precursor of calcitonin, is used for the rapid identification of the origin and severity of sepsis. In veterinary medicine, PCT has been studied in horses, cattle, and dogs, but the use of PCT in diagnostic and/or prognostic settings is not possible because of the lack of validated assays to obtain reference ranges. The aim of the present study was the investigation of commercially available ELISA kits for the detection of canine and equine PCT in plasma samples. Validation of the ELISA kits was performed by using species-specific recombinant proteins spiked both in plasma and buffer samples; linearity, limit of detection (LOD), recovery, and intra-assay and inter-assay variability were calculated. Moreover, clinical samples obtained from sick and healthy animals were also analyzed with the tested kits. Canine PCT was measured with a recombinant canine and a canine PCT ELISA kit. Equine PCT was measured with an equine and a human ELISA PCT kit. Our data demonstrate that the canine recombinant PCT ELISA kit can be used to measure canine PCT in plasma samples, showing an intra-assay and inter-assay coefficient of variation less than 20% and a LOD of 11 pg/mL, whereas the present results do not support the use of the canine PCT ELISA kit. The human PCT ELISA kit is suitable to detect equine PCT with a LOD of 56 ng/mL, whereas the equine PCT ELISA kit did not detect recombinant equine PCT.

Abstract
Procalcitonin (PCT) is a known protein biomarker clinically used for the early stages of sepsis diagnosis and therapy guidance. For its reliable determination, sandwich format magnetic bead-based immunoassays with two different electrochemical detection approaches are described: (i) disposable screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPE-C, on-drop detection); (ii) electro-kinetically driven microfluidic chips with integrated Au electrodes (EMC-Au, on-chip detection). Both approaches exhibited enough sensitivity (limit of detection (LOD) of 0.1 and 0.04 ng mL−1 for SPE-C and EMC-Au, respectively; cutoff 0.5 ng mL−1), an adequate working range for the clinically relevant concentrations (0.5–1000 and 0.1–20 ng mL−1 for SPE-C and EMC-Au, respectively), and good precision (RSD < 9%), using low sample volumes (25 µL) with total assay times less than 20 min. The suitability of both approaches was successfully demonstrated by the analysis of human serum and plasma samples, for which good recoveries were obtained (89–120%). Furthermore, the EMC-Au approach enabled the easy automation of the process, constituting a reliable alternative diagnostic tool for on-site/bed-site clinical analysis.

Abstract
A new fluorescence micromotor-based immunoassay (FMIm) has been developed for procalcitonin (PCT) determination as an early sepsis diagnostic analytical tool. The micromotors combine the high binding capacity of the specific antibodies onto their polymeric polypyrrole outer layer (PPy layer), with their magnetic guidance (Ni layer) and self-propulsion by catalytic generation of oxygen bubbles (PtNP inner layer) to actively recognize the PCT antigen. This FMIm allowed a sensitive (LOD = 0.07 ng mL-1) and direct PCT determination in clinical samples from very low-birth-weight infants (VLBWI) with sepsis suspicion, using small volumes of sample (25 μL) in a clinically relevant range of concentrations (0.5-150 ng mL-1). The good agreement between PCT levels obtained by our micromotor-based method and routine immunofluorescence hospital determination demonstrates the feasibility for the analysis in VLBWI samples and its potential as a point-of-care diagnostic tool for sepsis.

Abstract
New point-of-care diagnostic devices are urgently needed for rapid and accurate diagnosis, particularly in the management of life-threatening infections and sepsis, where immediate treatment is key. Sepsis is a critical condition caused by systemic response to infection, with chances of survival drastically decreasing every hour. A novel portable biosensor based on nanoparticle-enhanced digital plasmonic imaging is reported for rapid and sensitive detection of two sepsis-related inflammatory biomarkers, procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) directly from blood serum. The device achieves outstanding limit of detection of 21.3 pg mL-1 for PCT and 36 pg mL-1 for CRP, and dynamic range of at least three orders of magnitude. The portable device is deployed at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital in Spain and tested with a wide range of patient samples with sepsis, noninfectious systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), and healthy subjects. The results are validated against ultimate clinical diagnosis and currently used immunoassays, and show that the device provides accurate and robust performance equivalent to gold-standard laboratory tests. Importantly, the plasmonic imager can enable identification of PCT levels typical of sepsis and SIRS patients in less than 15 min. The compact and low-cost device is a promising solution for assisting rapid and accurate on-site sepsis diagnosis.

Abstract
Herein a label-free immunosensor based on electrolyte-gated organic field-effect transistor (EGOFET) was developed for the detection of procalcitonin (PCT), a sepsis marker. Antibodies specific to PCT were immobilized on the poly-3-hexylthiophene (P3HT) organic semiconductor surface through direct physical adsorption followed by a post-treatment with bovine serum albumin (BSA) which served as the blocking agent to prevent non-specific adsorption. Antibodies together with BSA (forming the whole biorecognition layer) served to selectively capture the procalcitonin target analyte. The entire immunosensor fabrication process was fast, requiring overall 45min to be completed before analyte sensing. The EGOFET immunosensor showed excellent electrical properties, comparable to those of bare P3HT based EGOFET confirming reliable biosensing with bio-functional EGOFET immunosensor. The detection limit of the immunosensor was as low as 2.2pM and within a range of clinical relevance. The relative standard deviation of the individual calibration data points, measured on immunosensors fabricated on different chips (reproducibility error) was below 7%. The developed immunosensor showed high selectivity to the PCT analyte which was evident through control experiments. This report of PCT detection is first of its kind among the electronic sensors based on EGOFETs. The developed sensor is versatile and compatible with low-cost fabrication techniques.

Abstract
Simultaneous, sensitive and quantitative detection of biomarkers in infectious disease is crucial for guiding antimicrobial treatment and predicting prognosis. This work reported an ultrasensitive and quantitative microfluidic immunoassay combined with the streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase (SA-B-HRP) nanocomplex-signal amplification system (MIS) to detect two inflammatory biomarkers, procalcitonin (PCT, for discriminating bacterial infections from nonbacterial infections) and interleukin-6 (IL-6, for monitoring the kinetics of infectious disease) simultaneously. The amplification system was based on the one step self-assembly of SA and B-HRP to form the SA-B-HRP nanocomplex, which effectively amplified the chemiluminescent signals. The linear ranges for PCT and IL-6 detections by MIS were 250-1.28 × 105 pg mL-1 and 5-1280 pg mL-1, and the limit of detection (LOD) were 48.9 pg mL-1 and 1.0 pg mL-1, respectively, both of which were significantly improved compared with microfluidic immunoassays without amplification system (MI). More importantly, PCT and IL-6 in human serum could be simultaneously detected in the same run by MIS, which could greatly improve the detection efficiency and reduce the cost. Given the advantages of high sensitivity, multiplex and quantitative detection, MIS could be potentially applied for detection of biomarkers at low concentration in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Protein microarrays represent a powerful technology with the potential to serve as tools for the detection of a broad range of analytes in numerous applications such as diagnostics, drug development, food safety, and environmental monitoring. Key features of analytical protein microarrays include high throughput and relatively low costs due to minimal reagent consumption, multiplexing, fast kinetics and hence measurements, and the possibility of functional integration. So far, especially fundamental studies in molecular and cell biology have been conducted using protein microarrays, while the potential for clinical, notably point-of-care applications is not yet fully utilized. The question arises what features have to be implemented and what improvements have to be made in order to fully exploit the technology. In the past we have identified various obstacles that have to be overcome in order to promote protein microarray technology in the diagnostic field. Issues that need significant improvement to make the technology more attractive for the diagnostic market are for instance: too low sensitivity and deficiency in reproducibility, inadequate analysis time, lack of high-quality antibodies and validated reagents, lack of automation and portable instruments, and cost of instruments necessary for chip production and read-out. The scope of the paper at hand is to review approaches to solve these problems.
