Abstract
Rapid, sensitive, and reliable detection of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is essential for medical and diagnostic applications due to its important role as a biomarker of chronic inflammation. Here, we report a facile method for the detection of HMGB1 using carboxymethyl dextran (CM-dextran) as a bridge molecule modified on the surface of gold nanoparticles combined with a fiber optic localized surface plasmon resonance (FOLSPR) biosensor. Under optimal conditions, the results showed that the FOLSPR sensor detected HMGB1 with a wide linear range (10-10 to 10-6 g/mL), fast response (less than 10 min), and a low detection limit of 43.4 pg/mL (1.7 pM) and high correlation coefficient values (>0.9928). Furthermore, the accurate quantification and reliable validation of kinetic binding events measured by the currently working biosensors are comparable to surface plasmon resonance sensing systems, providing new insights into direct biomarker detection for clinical applications.

[PMID: 35807986 PMCID: PMC9268428 DOI: 10.3390/nano12132146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2022] [Revised: 06/19/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
This study develops a highly sensitive and low-cost carboxyl-graphene-oxide-based planar optical waveguide localized surface plasmon resonance biosensor (GO-OW LSPR biosensor), a system based on measuring light intensity changes. The structure of the sensing chip comprises an optical waveguide (OW)-slide glass and microfluidic-poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) substrate, and the OW-slide glass surface-modified gold nanoparticle (AuNP) combined with graphene oxide (GO). As the GO has an abundant carboxyl group (–COOH), the number of capture molecules can be increased. The refractive index sensing system uses silver-coated reflective film to compare the refractive index sensitivity of the GO-OW LSPR biosensor to increase the refractive index sensitivity. The result shows that the signal variation of the system with the silver-coated reflective film is 1.57 times that of the system without the silver-coated reflective film. The refractive index sensitivity is 5.48 RIU−1 and the sensor resolution is 2.52 ± 0.23 × 10−6 RIU. The biochemical sensing experiment performs immunoglobulin G (IgG) and streptavidin detection. The limits of detection of the sensor for IgG and streptavidin are calculated to be 23.41 ± 1.54 pg/mL and 5.18 ± 0.50 pg/mL, respectively. The coefficient of variation (CV) of the repeatability experiment (sample numbers = 3) is smaller than 10.6%. In addition, the affinity constants of the sensor for anti-IgG/IgG and biotin/streptavidin are estimated to be 1.06 × 107 M−1 and 7.30 × 109 M−1, respectively. The result shows that the GO-OW LSPR biosensor has good repeatability and very low detection sensitivity. It can be used for detecting low concentrations or small biomolecules in the future.

Abstract
Increasing exposure to toxic pollutants highlights the need for their sensitive detection technologies that can be rapidly adapted and deployed in various settings. Optical biosensors are an excellent solution due to their outstanding features. However, the sophisticated and expensive optical design limits their scalability and actual application. Herein, an innovative reusable smartphone-facilitated mobile fluorescence biosensor (s-MFB) was built through integrating miniaturized all-fiber optical system and microfluidic system with smartphone. An asymmetric Y-shaped fiber optic coupler (Y-FOC) is constructed for simultaneous transmission of excitation light and the collected fluorescence. In particular, the incidence rays are introduced into the fiber bio-probe at a specific angle through the single-mode fiber of the Y-FOC, which enhances the evanescent wave field and the number of total internal reflections. The s-MBF showed a LOD for free Cy5.5 of 0.1 nM. Combining indirect competitive immunoassay with the s-MFB, this new assay, which achieve quantitative detection of bisphenol A and norfloxacin in 15 min with high sensitivity and reusability, substantially reduces the complexity and improves the scalability of trace pollutants detection. The adjunctive smartphone application allows on-site real-time quantitative detection, automated interpretation of reporting results, and early-warning of pollution accidents.

Evanescent wave aptasensor for continuous and online aminoglycoside antibiotics detection based on target binding facilitated fluorescence quenching. Biosens Bioelectron 2017; 102:646-651.

Abstract
The biosensors capable for on-site continuous and online monitoring of pollutants in environment are highly desired due to their practical importance and convenience. The group specific detection of pollutants is especially attractive due to the diversity of environmental pollutants. Here we devise an evanescent wave aptasensor based on target binding facilitated fluorescence quenching (FQ-EWA) for the online continuous and group-specific detection of aminoglycoside antibiotics (AMGAs). In FQ-EWA, a fluorophore labeled DNA aptamer selected against kanamycin was used for both the target recognition in solution and signal transduction on optical fiber of EWA. The aptamers form multiple-strand complex (M-Apt) in the absence of AMGAs. The binding between AMGA and the aptamer disrupts M-Apt and leads to the formation of AMGA -aptamer complex (AMGA-Apt). The photo-induced electron transfer between the fluorophore and AMGA partially quenches the fluorescence of AMGA-Apt. The structure-selective absorption of AMGA-Apt over M-Apt on the graphene oxide further quenches the fluorescence of AMGA-Apt. Meanwhile, the unbound aptamers in solution assemble with the unlabeled aptamers immobilized on the fiber to form M-Apt. The amount of M-Apt on the fiber is inversely proportional to the concentration of AMGAs, enabling the signal-off detection of AMGAs from 200nM to 200μM with a detection limit of 26nM. The whole detection process is carried out in an online mode without any offline operation, providing a great benefit for system automation and miniaturization. FQ-EWA also shows great surface regeneration capability and enables the continuous detection more than 60 times.

Abstract
Food safety is one of the most important public health issues worldwide. Foodborne illnesses caused by Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxins (SEs) commonly occur, affecting both developing and developed countries. In this study, multicolor lanthanide-doped time-resolved fluorescence nanoparticles labeled with aptamers were used as bioprobes, and graphene oxide (GO) was employed as a resonance energy acceptor. Based on the "turn down" strategy, the simultaneous detection of multiplex SEs was realized in a homogeneous solution. Under the optimal conditions, the developed method exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity to three serological types of enterotoxins, including type A, B, C1, with limits of detection below 1 ng mL(-1). The application of this bioassay in milk analysis with no sample dilution was also investigated, and the results of recovery rates covered from 92.76% to 114.58%, revealing that the developed method was accurate. Therefore, this detection aptasnesor can be a good candidate for multiplex analysis and screening with simple and effective operations.

Abstract
Microfluidic-based micromosaic technology has allowed the pattering of recognition elements in restricted micrometer scale areas with high precision. This controlled patterning enabled the development of highly multiplexed arrays multiple analyte detection. This arraying technology was first introduced in the beginning of 2001 and holds tremendous potential to revolutionize microarray development and analyte detection. Later, several microfluidic methods were developed for microarray application. In this review we discuss these novel methods and approaches which leverage the property of microfluidic technologies to significantly improve various physical aspects of microarray technology, such as enhanced imprinting homogeneity, stability of the immobilized biomolecules, decreasing assay times, and reduction of the costs and of the bulky instrumentation.

Abstract
We report here the quantitative detection of Vibrio cholerae toxin (CT) in isolates and stool specimens by dynamic monitoring of the full course of CT-mediated cytotoxicity in a real-time cell analysis (RTCA) system. Four cell lines, including Y-1 mouse adrenal tumor cells, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, small intestine epithelial (FHs74Int) cells, and mouse adrenal gland (PC12-Adh) cells, were evaluated for their suitability for CT-induced cytotoxicity testing. Among them, the Y-1 line was demonstrated to be the most sensitive for CT-mediated cytotoxicity, with limits of detection of 7.0 pg/ml for purified CT and 0.11 ng/ml for spiked CT in pooled negative stool specimens. No CT-mediated cytotoxicity was observed for nontoxigenic V. cholerae, non-V. cholerae species, or non-V. cholerae enterotoxins. The CT-RTCA assay was further validated with 100 stool specimens consecutively collected from patients with diarrhea and 200 V. cholerae isolates recovered from patients and the environment, in comparison to a reference using three detection methods. The CT-RTCA assay had sensitivities and specificities of 97.5% and 100.0%, respectively, for V. cholerae isolates and 90.0% and 97.2% for stool specimens. For stool specimens spiked with CT concentrations ranging from 3.5 pg/ml to 1.8 ng/ml, the inoculation-to-detection time was 1.12 ± 0.38 h, and the values were inversely correlated with CT concentrations (ρ = -1; P = 0.01). The results indicate that the CT-RTCA assay with the Y-1 cell line provides a rapid and sensitive tool for the quantitative detection of CT activities in clinical specimens.

Abstract
We have detected biological toxins using localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and synthetic glycosyl ceramides (β-lactoside, globosyl trisaccharide (Gb3), or GM1 pentasaccharide) attached to gold (Au) nanoparticles. The particle diameters ranged from 5-100 nm. The detection sensitivity for three toxins (ricin, Shiga toxin, and cholera toxin) was found to depend not only on the attached glycoside but also on the diameter of the Au nanoparticles. For the detection of ricin, the 20-nm β-lactoside-coated Au nanoparticle exhibited the highest LSPR response, whereas 40-nm Gb3- and GM1-coated Au nanoparticles gave the best results for Shiga toxin and cholera toxin, respectively. In addition, a blocking process on the nanoparticle surface greatly improved the detection sensitivity for cholera toxin. The LSPR system enabled us to detect ricin at 30 ng/mL, Shiga toxin at 10 ng/mL, and the cholera toxin at 20 ng/mL.

Abstract
Two types of biotin-tagged glycopolymers carrying lactose or glucose in clusters along the polyacrylamide backbone were prepared and subjected to decontamination analyses with the plant toxin ricin. A buffer solution containing the toxin was treated with one glycopolymer followed by streptavidin-magnetic particles. Supernatant solutions were analyzed with surface plasmon resonance and capillary electrophoresis, and revealed that the lactose glycopolymer "captured" this toxin more effectively than the glucose polymer. Free toxin was not detectable in the supernatant after treatment with the glycopolymer and magnetic particles; >99% decontamination was achieved for this potentially fatal biological toxin.

Abstract
The ratios of hapten and bovine serum albumin (BSA) in an antigen conjugate were determined by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. Hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies against 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) were produced by fusing 2,4-D-BSA conjugate-immunized splenocytes with a HAT-sensitive mouse myeloma cell line, P3-X63-Ag8-653. A substantial cross-reaction was observed for 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DP) when compared with that observed for 2,4-D. The full measurement range for this assay is 0.2-3 mug ml(-1) for 2,4-DP. On the other hand, the range for 2,4-D is between 1 and 20 mug ml(-1).

Photonic biosensor assays to detect and distinguish subspecies of Francisella tularensis. SENSORS 2011; 11:3004-19.

Abstract
The application of photonic biosensor assays to diagnose the category-A select agent Francisella tularensis was investigated. Both interferometric and long period fiber grating sensing structures were successfully demonstrated; both these sensors are capable of detecting the optical changes induced by either immunological binding or DNA hybridization. Detection was made possible by the attachment of DNA probes or immunoglobulins (IgG) directly to the fiber surface via layer-by-layer electrostatic self-assembly. An optical fiber biosensor was tested using a standard transmission mode long period fiber grating of length 15 mm and period 260 μm, and coated with the IgG fraction of antiserum to F. tularensis. The IgG was deposited onto the optical fiber surface in a nanostructured film, and the resulting refractive index change was measured using spectroscopic ellipsometry. The presence of F. tularensis was detected from the decrease of peak wavelength caused by binding of specific antigen. Detection and differentiation of F. tularensis subspecies tularensis (type A strain TI0902) and subspecies holarctica (type B strain LVS) was further accomplished using a single-mode multi-cavity fiber Fabry-Perot interferometric sensor. These sensors were prepared by depositing seven polymer bilayers onto the fiber tip followed by attaching one of two DNA probes: (a) a 101-bp probe from the yhhW gene unique to type-A strains, or (b) a 117-bp probe of the lpnA gene, common to both type-A and type-B strains. The yhhW probe was reactive with the type-A, but not the type-B strain. Probe lpnA was reactive with both type-A and type-B strains. Nanogram quantities of the target DNA could be detected, highlighting the sensitivity of this method for DNA detection without the use of PCR. The DNA probe reacted with 100% homologous target DNA, but did not react with sequences containing 2-bp mismatches, indicating the high specificity of the assay. These assays will fill an important void that exists for rapid, culture-free, and field-compatible diagnosis of F. tularensis.

Abstract
A flow-injection impedimetric immunosensor for the sensitive, direct and label-free detection of cholera toxin is reported. A limit of detection smaller than 10 pM was achieved, a value thousands of times lower than the lethal dose. The developed chips fulfil the requirement of low cost and quick reply of the assay and are expected to enable field screening, prompt diagnosis and medical intervention without the need of specialized personnel and expensive equipment, a perspective of special relevance for use in developing countries. Since the chip layout includes two sensing areas each one with a 2 × 2 sensor array, our biochips can allow statistical or (alternatively) multiplex analysis of biorecognition events between antibodies immobilized on each working electrode and different antigens flowing into the chamber.

Abstract
A new sandwich-type electrochemical immunoassay for ultrasensitive detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) in food was developed using horseradish peroxidase-nanosilica-doped multiwalled carbon nanotubes (HRPSiCNTs) for signal amplification. Rabbit polyclonal anti-SEB antibodies immobilized on the screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) and covalently bound to the HRPSiCNTs were used as capture antibodies and detection antibodies, respectively. In the presence of SEB analyte, the sandwich-type immunocomplex could be formed between the immobilized anti-SEB on the SPCE and anti-SEB-labeled HRPSiCNTs, and the carried HRP could catalyze the electrochemical reduction of H2O2 with the help of thionine. The high content of HRP in the HRPSiCNTs could greatly amplify the electrochemical signal. Under optimal conditions, the reduction current increased with the increase of SEB in the sample, and exhibited a dynamic range of 0.05-15 ng/mL with a low detection limit (LOD) of 10 pg/mL SEB (at 3σ). Intra- and interassay coefficients of variation were below 10%. In addition, the assay was evaluated with SEB spiked samples including watermelon juice, soymilk, apple juice, and pork food, receiving excellent correlation with results from commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Abstract
Developing a technology for detecting and decontaminating biological toxins is needed. Ricin from Ricinus communis is a highly poisonous toxin; it was formerly used for an assassination in London and in postal attacks in the United States. Ricin is readily available from castor beans and could be used as a biological agent. We propose using glycotechnology against the illegal use of ricin. Lactose (a natural ligand of this toxin) was incorporated into polyacrylamide-based glycopolymers at variable sugar densities (18-100%) and evaluated with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy and the real agent, ricin. Glycopolymers (18-65% lactose densities) effectively interfered with the toxin-lactoside adhesion event (>99% efficiency within 20 min). This supported the notion of using the mammary sugar lactose against a deadly biological toxin.

Abstract
A panel of 15 biological toxins ranging between approximately 60-28,000 g/mol was used to evaluate the feasibility of screening aqueous samples for toxin analytes based on their translational diffusion coefficients, D(t). Toxin D(t) values were measured by pulsed-field gradient (1)H NMR spectroscopy using a bipolar pulse pair, longitudinal eddy current delay pulse sequence incorporating water suppression to achieve the maximum dynamic range for toxin signals. To collect data for an effective screening protocol, reference D(t) values were determined from five independent measurements at both 25 and 37 degrees C for all toxins in the panel. In the protocol, D(t) values are measured at both temperatures for a suspected toxin target in a sample, and for assignment as a potential toxin analyte, the measurements are required to fall within +/-0.25 x 10(-6) cm(2)/s of both reference D(t) values for at least one toxin in the panel. Only solution viscosity was found to influence sample D(t) measurements appreciably; however, the measurements are easily corrected for viscosity effects by calculating the D(t) value of the suspected toxin at infinite dilution. In conclusion, the protocol provides a rapid and effective means for screening aqueous samples for all toxins in the panel, narrowing toxin identification to < or = 2 possibilities in virtually all cases.

Abstract
Edema factor (EF), a calmodulin-activated adenylyl cyclase, is a toxin which contributes to cutaneous and systemic anthrax. As a novel strategy to detect anthrax toxins in humans or animals infected by Bacillus anthracis, we have developed a sensitive enzymatic assay to be able to monitor functional EF in human and animal plasma. Samples containing EF are incubated in the presence of calmodulin and ATP, which is converted to cAMP. After oxidation and derivatization, cAMP is monitored by competitive enzyme immunoassay. Because of the high turnover of EF and the sensitivity of cAMP detection, EF can be detected at concentrations of 1 pg/mL (10 fM) in 4 h in plasma from humans or at 10 pg/mL in the plasma of various animal species using only a blood volume of 5 microL. The assay has good reproducibility with intra- and interday coefficients of variation in the range of 20% and is not subject to significant interindividual matrix effects. In an experimental study performed in mice infected with the Berne strain, we were able to detect EF in serum and ear tissues. This simple and robust combination of enzymatic reaction and enzyme immunoassay for the diagnosis of anthrax toxemia could prove useful in biological threat detection as well in research and clinical practice.

Abstract
Used for decades for biological warfare, Bacillus anthracis (category A agent) has proven to be highly stable and lethal. Quantitative risk assessment modeling requires descriptive statistics of the limit of detection to assist in defining the exposure. Furthermore, the sensitivities of various detection methods in environmental matrices are vital information for first responders. A literature review of peer-reviewed journal articles related to methods for detection of B. anthracis was undertaken. Articles focused on the development or evaluation of various detection approaches, such as PCR, real-time PCR, immunoassay, etc. Real-time PCR and PCR were the most sensitive methods for the detection of B. anthracis, with median instrument limits of detection of 430 and 440 cells/ml, respectively. There were very few peer-reviewed articles on the detection methods for B. anthracis in the environment. The most sensitive limits of detection for the environmental samples were 0.1 CFU/g for soil using PCR-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), 17 CFU/liter for air using an ELISA-biochip system, 1 CFU/liter for water using cultivation, and 1 CFU/cm(2) for stainless steel fomites using cultivation. An exponential dose-response model for the inhalation of B. anthracis estimates of risk at concentrations equal to the environmental limit of detection determined the probability of death if untreated to be as high as 0.520. Though more data on the environmental limit of detection would improve the assumptions made for the risk assessment, this study's quantification of the risk posed by current limitations in the knowledge of detection methods should be considered when employing those methods in environmental monitoring and cleanup strategies.

Abstract
Optical phenomena such as fluorescence, phosphorescence, polarization, interference and non-linearity have been extensively used for biosensing applications. Optical waveguides (both planar and fiber-optic) are comprised of a material with high permittivity/high refractive index surrounded on all sides by materials with lower refractive indices, such as a substrate and the media to be sensed. This arrangement allows coupled light to propagate through the high refractive index waveguide by total internal reflection and generates an electromagnetic wave-the evanescent field-whose amplitude decreases exponentially as the distance from the surface increases. Excitation of fluorophores within the evanescent wave allows for sensitive detection while minimizing background fluorescence from complex, "dirty" biological samples. In this review, we will describe the basic principles, advantages and disadvantages of planar optical waveguide-based biodetection technologies. This discussion will include already commercialized technologies (e.g., Corning's EPIC(®) Ô, SRU Biosystems' BIND(™), Zeptosense(®), etc.) and new technologies that are under research and development. We will also review differing assay approaches for the detection of various biomolecules, as well as the thin-film coatings that are often required for waveguide functionalization and effective detection. Finally, we will discuss reverse-symmetry waveguides, resonant waveguide grating sensors and metal-clad leaky waveguides as alternative signal transducers in optical biosensing.

Abstract
Several methods are described in which a biological recognition molecule--a critical element in any biosensor--is immobilized onto a silica or silica-based sensing substrate. Although several variations are described, the methods for covalent immobilization share a common theme and are generally composed of three steps: modification of the surface to add specific functional groups (using appropriate silanes or an amine or carboxyl-containing hydrogel), covalent attachment of a crosslinker through one of its reactive moieties, and finally, covalent linking of the biomolecule (recognition element) to the remaining reactive moiety of the crosslinker. One final method is presented in which the surface is modified with a highly hydrophobic silane and a glycolipid recognition element immobilized, essentially irreversibly, by hydrophobic interactions. All of the methods described have been successfully used to immobilize biological recognition molecules onto sensing surfaces, with full functionality in biosensor-binding assays.

Abstract
Microarray technology enables the fast and parallel analysis of a multitude of biologically relevant parameters. Not only nucleic acid-based tests, but also peptide, antigen, and antibody assays using different formats of microarrays evolved within the last decade. They offer the possibility to measure interactions in a miniaturised, economic, automated, and qualitative or quantitative way providing insights into the cellular machinery of diverse organisms. Examples of applications in research and diagnostics are, e.g., O-typing of pathogenic Escherichia coli, detection of bacterial toxins and other biological warfare agents (BW agents) from a variety of different samples, screening of complex antibody libraries, and epitope mapping. Conventional O- and H-serotyping methods can now be substituted by procedures applying DNA oligonucleotide and antibody-based microarrays. For simultaneous and sensitive detection of BW agents microarray-based tests are available, which include not only relevant viruses and bacteria, but also toxins. This application is not only restricted to the security and military sector but it can also be used in the fields of medical diagnostics or public health to detect, e.g., staphylococcal enterotoxins in food or clinical samples. Furthermore, the same technology could be used to detect antibodies against enterotoxins in human sera using a competitive assay. Protein and peptide microarrays can also be used for characterisation of antibodies. On one hand, peptide microarrays allow detailed epitope mapping. On the other hand, a set of different antibodies recognising the same antigen can be spotted as a microarray and labelled as detection antibodies. This approach makes it possible to test every combination, allowing to find the optimal pair of detection/capture antibody.

Abstract
Antibody-based microarrays are a new powerful proteomic technology that can be used to generate rapid and detailed expression profiles of defined sets of protein analytes in complex samples as well as high-resolution portraits of entire proteomes. Miniaturized micro- and nanoarrays can be printed with numerous antibodies carrying the desired specificities. Multiplexed and ultra-sensitive assays, specifically targeting several analytes in a single experiment, can be performed, while consuming only minute amounts of the sample. The array images generated can then be converted into protein expression profiles, or maps, revealing the detailed composition of the sample. This promising proteomic research tool will thus provide unique opportunities for e.g. disease proteomics, biomarker discovery, disease diagnostics, and patient stratification. This review describes the antibody-based microarray technology and applications thereof.

Abstract
Arrays of immobilized antimicrobial peptides are used to detect bacterial, viral, and rickettsial pathogens, including inactivated biothreat agents. These arrays differ from the many combinatorial peptide arrays described in the literature in that the peptides used here have naturally evolved to interact with and disrupt microbial membranes with high affinity but broad specificity. The interaction of these naturally occurring peptides with membranes of pathogens has been harnessed for the purpose of detection, with immobilized antimicrobial peptides acting as "capture" molecules in detection assays. Methods are presented for immobilizing the antimicrobial peptides in planar arrays, performing direct and sandwich assays, and detecting bound targets.

Abstract
Cytokines are produced by immune cells in response to viral or bacterial pathogens and therefore have significant diagnostic value. The goal of the present study was to develop a miniature device for detection of interleukin (IL)-2 and interferon (IFN)-gamma cytokines secreted by a small population of CD4 and CD8 T-cells. Microarrays of T-cell- and cytokine-specific Ab spots were printed onto poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogel-coated glass slides and enclosed inside a microfluidic device, creating a miniature ( approximately 3 microL) immunoreaction chamber. Introduction of the red blood cell (RBC) depleted whole human blood into the microfluidic device followed by washing at a pre-defined shear stress resulted in isolation of pure CD4 and CD8 T-cells on their respective Ab spots. Importantly, the cells became localized next to anti-IL-2 and -IFN-gamma Ab spots. Mitogenic activation of the captured T-cells was followed by immunofluorescent staining (all steps carried out inside a microfluidic device), revealing concentration gradients of surface-bound cytokine molecules. A microarray scanner was then used to quantify the concentration of IFN-gamma and IL-2 near CD4 and CD8 T-cells. This study represents one of the first demonstrations of a microdevice for capturing desired T-cell subsets from a small blood volume and determining, on-chip, cytokine profiles of the isolated cells. Such a microdevice is envisioned as an immunology tool for multi-parametric analysis of T-cell function with direct applications in diagnosis/monitoring of HIV and other infectious diseases.

Abstract
The microarray format is being used extensively for combinatorial screening of cellular interactions with proteins, small molecules, or biomaterials. The utility of microarray-based cell cultivation approaches may be enhanced further by incorporating biosensing elements alongside the cell-adhesive ligands to enable local detection of secreted cellular products. The concept of combining cells and sensing elements in the same microarray is demonstrated in the present paper with hepatocytes serving as a model cellular system. Robotic microarraying was employed to print arrays of 300-mum-diameter collagen (I) spots alongside the antibody (Ab) spots specific to liver proteins: albumin and alpha1-antitrypsin (alpha1-AT). Protein microarrays were printed onto poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogel-coated glass slides, thus eliminating nonspecific adsorption of cells or proteins. When incubated with printed microarrays, hepatocytes became localized on collagen (I) domains but did not attach on Ab spots or elsewhere on hydrogel-coated glass substrates. Liver-specific proteins secreted by hepatocytes were captured on Ab domains in the immediate vicinity of the cells, detected with a sandwich immunofluorescent assay and quantified using a microarray scanner. Importantly, hepatic albumin and alpha1-AT production detected in the microarray was comparable to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay measurements of these proteins. In the future, the juxtaposition of sensing Ab regions with cell arrays will be particularly useful for the detection of local appearance or loss of phenotype of cells interacting with the printed components of the cellular microenvironment.

Abstract
A novel chemiluminescence biosensor based on a supported lipid layer incorporated with ganglioside GM1 was developed for the detection of cholera toxin. The planar supported lipid membrane was prepared as biosensing interface via spontaneous spread of ganglioside-incorporated phospholipid vesicles on the octadecanethiol-coated gold surface. The specific interaction of multivalent CT by ganglioside GM1 molecules enables the biosensor to be implemented via a sandwiched format using a liposome probe functionalized with GM1 and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Then, the presence of the target CT could be determined via the HRP-catalyzed enhanced chemiluminescence reaction. The developed strategy offers several unique advantages over conventional biosensors in that it allows for an easy construction and renewal of the sensing interface, a small background signal due to low non-specific adsorption of serum constituents on the lipid membrane, and effective immobilization of multiple biocatalytic amplifiers and recognition components via common phospholipid reagents. The developed biosensor was shown to give chemiluminescence signal in linear correlation to CT concentration within the range from 1pgmL(-1) to 1ngmL(-1) with readily achievable detection limit of 0.8pgmL(-1).

Abstract
Microarrays provide a powerful analytical tool for the simultaneous detection of multiple analytes in a single experiment. The specific affinity reaction of nucleic acids (hybridization) and antibodies towards antigens is the most common bioanalytical method for generating multiplexed quantitative results. Nucleic acid-based analysis is restricted to the detection of cells and viruses. Antibodies are more universal biomolecular receptors that selectively bind small molecules such as pesticides, small toxins, and pharmaceuticals and to biopolymers (e.g. toxins, allergens) and complex biological structures like bacterial cells and viruses. By producing an appropriate antibody, the corresponding antigenic analyte can be detected on a multiplexed immunoanalytical microarray. Food and water analysis along with clinical diagnostics constitute potential application fields for multiplexed analysis. Diverse fluorescence, chemiluminescence, electrochemical, and label-free microarray readout systems have been developed in the last decade. Some of them are constructed as flow-through microarrays by combination with a fluidic system. Microarrays have the potential to become widely accepted as a system for analytical applications, provided that robust and validated results on fully automated platforms are successfully generated. This review gives an overview of the current research on microarrays with the focus on automated systems and quantitative multiplexed applications.
