Abstract
The abnormal concentrations of human immunoglobulin G (hIgG) refers to many kinds of diseases. Analytical methods with the characteristics of rapid response, easy operation and high sensitivity should be designed to accurately determinate the hIgG levels in human serum. In this work, a label-free electrochemical immunosensor based on WSe2/rGO was developed to sensitively detect human immunoglobulin G. First, the flower-like transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) Tungsten Diselenide (WSe2) with large effective specific surface area and porous structure was synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis. As a bio-matrix, the flower-like WSe2 efficiently increased the active sites for loading antibodies. Meanwhile, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) obtained by tannic acid reduction was used to improve the current response of the sensing interface. WSe2 was combined with rGO and the electrochemical active surface area (ECSA) of the sensing interface was enlarged to 2.1 times that of GCE. Finally, the combination of flower-like WSe2 and rGO broadened the detection range and reduced the detection limit of the sensing platform. The immunosensor exhibited a high sensitivity with a wide linear range of 0.01-1000 ng/mL and low detection limit of 4.72 pg/mL. The real sample analysis of hIgG were conducted under optimal conditions, and the spiked recovery rates were between 95.5 and 104.1%. Moreover, satisfactory results were obtained by testing the stability, specificity and reproducibility of the immunosensor. Therefore, it can be concluded that the as-proposed immunosensor has the application potential of clinical analyze of hIgG in human serum.

Front Microbiol 2021; 12:791489. [PMID: 34956158 PMCID: PMC8696188 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.791489] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2021] [Accepted: 11/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Several types of laboratory tests for COVID-19 have been established to date; however, the clinical significance of the serum SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) antigen levels remains to be fully elucidated. In the present study, we attempted to elucidate the usefulness and clinical significance of the serum N antigen levels. Methods: We measured the serum N antigen levels in 391 serum samples collected from symptomatic patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 and 96 serum samples collected from patients with non-COVID-19, using a fully automated chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer. Results: Receiver operating characteristic analysis identified the optimal cutoff value of the serum N antigen level (cutoff index, based on Youden’s index) as 0.255, which yielded a sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of COVID-19 of 91.0 and 81.3%, respectively. The serum N antigen levels were significantly higher in the patient groups with moderate and severe COVID-19 than with mild disease. Moreover, a significant negative correlation was observed between the serum N antigen levels and the SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody titers, especially in patients with severe COVID-19. Conclusion: Serum N antigen testing might be useful both for the diagnosis of COVID-19 and for obtaining a better understanding of the clinical features of the disease.

J Med Virol 2021; 94:1617-1626. [PMID: 34882805 PMCID: PMC9015508 DOI: 10.1002/jmv.27512] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2021] [Revised: 11/10/2021] [Accepted: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of different medications available at present for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) infection. We searched databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published up to April 30, 2021, with Chinese or English language restriction, of medications recommended for patients (aged 18 years or older) with severe COVID‐19 infection. We extracted data on trials and patient characteristics, and the following primary outcomes: all‐cause mortality (ACM), and treatment‐emergent adverse events (TEAEs). We identified 1855 abstracts and of these included 15 RCTs comprising 3073 participants through database searches and other sources. In terms of efficacy, compared with the standard of care (SOC) group, no significant decrease in ACM was found in α‐lipoic acid, convalescent plasma (CP), azithromycin, tocilizumab, methylprednisolone, interferon beta, CP/SOC, high dosage sarilumab, low dosage sarilumab, remdesivir, lopinavir–ritonavir, auxora, and placebo group. Compared with placebo, we found that a significant decrease in ACM was only found in methylprednisolone (odds ratio [OR]: 0.16, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.03–0.75]. With respect to TEAEs, the CP group showed lower TEAEs than placebo (OR: 0.07, 95% CI: 0.01–0.58) or SOC (OR: 0.05, 95% CI: 0.01–0.42) group for the therapy of severe COVID‐19 patients. This study only demonstrated that methylprednisolone was superior to placebo in treating patients with severe COVID‐19 infection. Meanwhile, this further confirmed that the safety of other treatment interventions might be inferior to CP for the therapy of severe COVID‐19 patients. We considered addressing direct and indirect comparisons of medications from the angle of severe COVID‐19 infection based on random controlled trials (RCTs) We explored the difference of efficacy and safety of for the pharmaceutical interventions of severe COVID‐19 patients from different control conditions (i.e., placebo and SOC). To date, the findings from this network meta‐analysis may represent much more comprehensive analysis for the medications of severe COVID‐19 infection.
