One-pot synthesized Au@Pt nanostars-based lateral flow immunoassay for colorimetric and photothermal dual-mode detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antibody. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1292:342241. [PMID: 38309851 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 02/05/2024]
Abstract
In addition to confirming virus infection, quantitative identification of the antibodies to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2) also evaluates persons immunity to guide personal protection. However, portable assays for fast and accurate quantification of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies remain challenging. In this work, we synthesized Au@Pt star-like nanoparticles (NPs) quickly and easily by a one-pot wet-chemical approach, allowing the stellate Au core to be partially decorated by Pt nanoshells. The nanoparticles were used as probe in a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) that operated in both colorimetric and photothermal dual modes, which could detect the antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein with high sensitivity. Due to the sharp tips on the external region of nanostars and surface plasmon coupling effect between the Au core and Pt shell, the NIR absorption capacity and photothermal performance of these NPs were exceptional. Under optimal conditions, the colorimetric mode's detection limit for SARS-CoV-2 N protein antibody was 1 ng mL-1, which is significantly lower by 2-order of magnitude compared to commercially available colloidal gold strips. And the detection limit for the photothermal mode was as low as 24.91 pg mL-1, which was approximately 40-fold more sensitive than colorimetric detection. Moreover, the method demonstrated favorable specificity, reproducibility and stability. Finally, the approach was employed for the successful identification of actual serum samples. Therefore, the dual-mode LFIA can be applied for screening and tracking the early immunological reaction to SARS-CoV-2, and it has great promise for clinical application.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are highly compelling nanomaterials for biomedical studies due to their unique optical properties. By leveraging the versatile optical properties of different gold nanostructures, the performance of biosensing and biomedical imaging can be dramatically improved in terms of their sensitivity, specificity, speed, contrast, resolution and penetration depth. Here we review recent advances of optical biosensing and bioimaging techniques based on three major optical properties of AuNPs: surface plasmon resonance, surface enhanced Raman scattering and luminescence. We summarize the fabrication methods and optical properties of different types of AuNPs, highlight the emerging applications of these AuNPs for novel optical biosensors and biomedical imaging innovations, and discuss the future trends of AuNP-based optical biosensors and bioimaging as well as the challenges of implementing these techniques in preclinical and clinical investigations.

Abstract
Herein, we performed a single-particle correlation study to characterize the optical properties of gold nanostars (AuNSs) with multiple sharp branches under dark-field (DF) and differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy, and to examine their use as multispectral orientation probes. We presented the polarization-dependent, periodic DIC images and intensities of single AuNSs at their localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) wavelengths with high sensitivity. Furthermore, we demonstrated that single AuNSs protrude multiple branches that can be used as individual sensors with DIC polarization anisotropy. Thus, unlike conventional Au nanorod (AuNR) probes, single AuNSs were presented as multispectral optical sensors that can provide detailed information such as rotational motions and rotational speeds at different branches of their star-like structure in dynamic environments.
