Biosens Bioelectron 2016; 85:32-45. [PMID: 27155114 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2016.04.091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 162] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2016] [Revised: 04/11/2016] [Accepted: 04/26/2016] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
The choice of biosensing elements is crucial for the development of the optimal biosensor. Three of the most versatile biosensing elements are antibody single-chain Fv fragments (scFv), antibody fragment-antigen binding (Fab') units, and aptamers. This article provides an overview of these three biorecognition elements with respects to their synthesis/engineering, various immobilization techniques, and examples of their use in biosensors. Furthermore, the final section of the review compares and contrasts their characteristics (time/cost of development, ease and variability of immobilization, affinity, stability) illustrating their advantages and disadvantages. Overall, scFv fragments are found to display the highest customizability (i.e. addition of functional groups, immobilizing peptides, etc.) due to recombinant synthesis techniques. If time and cost are an issue in the development of the biosensor, Fab' fragments should be chosen as they are relatively cheap and can be developed quickly from whole antibodies (several days). However, if there are sufficient funds and time is not a factor, aptamers should be utilized as they display the greatest affinity towards their target analytes and are extremely stable (excellent biosensor regenerability).

Abstract
Antibody immobilization and function retention are important to a variety of applications, including proteomics, drug discovery, diagnostics, and biosensors. The present study investigates antibody immobilization mediated by cholesteryl succinyl silane (CSS) fibers, in comparison to hydrophobic polycaprolactone (PCL) fibers and hydrophilic plasma-treated PCL fibers. When incubated with a model protein, the formation of protein aggregates is observed on hydrophobic PCL fibers but not on the more hydrophobic CSS fibers, indicating that CSS fibers immobilize proteins through mechanisms other than hydrophobic interaction. When exposed to a limited amount of antibody, CSS fibers immobilize more antibodies than plasma-treated PCL fibers and no fewer antibodies than PCL fibers. The function retention of antibodies immobilized on the fibers is analyzed using a cell-capture assay, which shows that the antibody-functionalized CSS fibrous matrices capture 6- or 7-fold more cells than the antibody-functionalized PCL or plasma-treated PCL fibrous matrices, respectively. Data collected from the study show that the lipid fiber-mediated immobilization of antibody not only maintains the advantages of physical immobilization such as easiness and rapidness of operation but also improves function retention.

Abstract
The present study reports the achievement of a new chemiluminescent sensing layer able to simultaneously (i) play an active role on ligand immobilization and (ii) serve as a catalyst in detection processes for label-free biosensor applications. This new type of active Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) monolayer has been designed by using a chelating lipid (Ni-NTA-DOGS). Thanks to the chelated metallic cation, this peculiar lipid exhibits luminol chemiluminescence catalysis properties in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Upon biomolecule interaction through imidazole ring chelation (mediated by the metallic cation bound to the lipid headgroup), the chemiluminescent signal can be modulated. The first chemiluminescent signal acquisition experiments have shown a strong and homogeneous signal of the chelating layer. Upon histamine interactions, a histidine derivative used as a marker of fresh food quality, we succeeded in obtaining as a proof of concept a chemiluminescent signal variation without any derivatization of the target molecule. This signal variation was shown to be directly correlated to the histamine concentration with a limit of detection of 2 microg/mL.

Abstract
An optimal surface for culturing human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived neuronal cells is of high interest. In this study, a specific antibody to a neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) was immobilised on a solid surface of polystyrene and used as a selective matrix for culturing of hESC-derived neuronal cells. Thereafter, hESC-derived neurospheres were seeded on the matrix. The neurospheres did not attach to the NCAM antibody containing matrix whereas individual neuronal cells did. The neuronal cell attachment was depended on the NCAM antibody concentration. The neuronal cells were viable on the NCAM antibody containing matrix during an 8 day follow-up and exhibited typical bipolar morphology of immature neurons. Specific binding of the NCAM antigen to an immunoglobulin-polymer coated surface was verified by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) measurements. This study is to our knowledge the first demonstrating the use of an antibody layer as a selective surface for hESC-derived neuronal cells.

Abstract
Antibody Fab'-fragments have been immobilised on hydrophilic gold by direct self-assembly, and embedded in a matrix of non-ionic hydrophilic polymers, tris(hydroxymethyl)methylacrylamide, carrying lipoate terminal linking groups. Different polymers were synthesised, and co-adsorbed or post-adsorbed between the antibody fragments in order to optimise the antigen binding. Various factors were investigated that influence the activity of the immobilised Fab'-fragments for binding of the antigen, human IgG. The Fab'-fragments were immobilised in dense layers close to monolayer coverage, and the stoichiometric efficiency of immobilisation was up to 30%, with the human IgG also approaching monolayer coverage. The cleaning of the gold surface was a crucial factor in preservation of activity. Besides the usual treatment in hot ammonia/peroxide solution, hot DMSO appeared to be highly effective as a cleaning agent.

Abstract
This review presents the recent advances in the achievement of organized proteo-lipidic nanostructures based on Langmuir-Blodgett technology and their potential applications in the nanobioscience area. By using the self-assembled properties of amphiphilic biomolecules at the air-water interface, the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique offers the possibility to prepare ultrathin layers suitable for biomolecule immobilization at the molecular level. This review will provide a general overview of the enzyme association with preformed Langmuir-Blodgett films in connection with their potential applications in biosensing device developments, and then introduce the design of a new functionalised biomimetic nanostructure with oriented recognition site. The potential applications of such an organized proteo-lipidic nanostructure for biocatalysis investigations of an immobilised enzyme in a biomimetic situation and for the development of bioelectronic devices are finally discussed.

Abstract
Adsorption of phospholipid vesicles on titanium dioxide was studied by a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) and atomic force microscopy techniques. Vesicle size, concentration in solution, and bilayer composition were systematically varied. A strong dependence of the QCM-D response (magnitude of the frequency and dissipation factor shifts) on the vesicle concentration in solution was observed. QCM-D data were compared with a linear viscoelastic model based on the Voight element to determine layer thickness, density, elastic modulus, and viscosity. Based on the results of this comparison, it is proposed that (i) layer thickness and density, as sensed by QCM-D, saturate much earlier (in time) than the actual surface coverage of the vesicles (number of vesicles per unit area); (ii) changes in surface coverage that occur after the density and thickness, as sensed by QCM-D, have saturated, are interpreted by the model as changes in the layer's viscoelastic properties. This is caused by the replacement of the viscous media (water) between the vesicles by viscoelastic media of similar density (vesicles); (iii) viscoelastic properties of layers formed at different vesicle concentrations differ significantly, while the vesicle surface coverage in those layers does not. Based on the comparison between the atomic force microscopy images and QCM-D data acquired at various vesicle concentrations it is proposed that QCM-D response is not directly related to the surface coverage of the vesicles.
