Anal Biochem 2024; 693:115584. [PMID: 38843975 DOI: 10.1016/j.ab.2024.115584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2024] [Revised: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
Using the amino acid sequences and analysis of selected known structures of Bt Cry toxins, Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, Cry1Ah, Cry1B, Cry1C and Cry1F we specifically designed immunogens. After antibodies selection, broad-spectrum polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) and monoclonal antibody (namely 1A0-mAb) were obtained from rabbit and mouse, respectively. The produced pAbs displayed broad spectrum activity by recognizing Cry1 toxin, Cry2Aa, Cry2Ab and Cry3Aa with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of 0.12-9.86 μg/mL. Similarly, 1A0-mAb showed broad spectrum activity, recognizing all of the above Cry protein (IC50 values of 4.66-20.46 μg/mL) with the exception of Cry2Aa. Using optimizations studies, 1A10-mAb was used as a capture antibody and pAbs as detection antibody. Double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (DAS-ELISAs) were established for Cry1 toxin, Cry2Ab and Cry3Aa with the limit of detection (LOD) values of 2.36-36.37 ng/mL, respectively. The present DAS-ELISAs had good accuracy and precisions for the determination of Cry toxin spiked tap water, corn, rice, soybeans and soil samples. In conclusion, the present study has successfully obtained broad-spectrum pAbs and mAb. Furthermore, the generated pAbs- and mAb-based DAS-ELISAs protocol can potentially be used for the broad-spectrum monitoring of eight common subtypes of Bt Cry toxins residues in food and environmental samples.

Establishment of novel receptor-antibody sandwich assays to broadly detect Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1 and Cry2 toxins. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 254:128034. [PMID: 37972832 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128034] [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: 05/26/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry toxins have been widely used in the development of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) for pest control. This work aimed to establish more cost effective and broader detection methods for commonly used Cry toxins. Using ligand blot and bio-layer interferometry, we confirmed that a recombinant toxin-binding fragments derived from Helicoverpa armigera cadherin-like protein (HaCad-TBR) could broadly bind Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, Cry2Aa, and Cry2Ab with the affinity of 0.149, 0.402, 120, and 4.12 nM, respectively. Based on the affinity results, a novel receptor-antibody sandwich assay broadly detecting Cry1A and Cry2 toxins was developed by using HaCad-TBR as capture molecules, and anti-Cry1A/Cry2A polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) as the detection antibodies. The detection limit (LOD) for Cry1Ab, Cry1Ab, Cry2Aa, and Cry2Ab were 5.30, 5.75, 30.83 and 13.70 ng/mL. To distinguish Cry1A and Cry2A toxins in a singular test, anti-Cry1A pAbs and anti-Cry2A pAbs were labelled with different quantum dots (QDs). The LOD for the four toxins by receptor-QDs-pAbs sandwich assay were calculated to be 1.36, 4.71, 17.48, and 7.54 ng/mL, respectively. The two developed methods were validated by spiked rice and corn samples, suggesting they may potentially be used in monitoring and quantifying Cry toxins in food and environment.

Abstract
Mimotope-based immunoassays for mycotoxins eliminate the requirement for large amounts of mycotoxin standards for the chemosynthesis of artificial antigens. Herein, the nanobody-based magnetic beads were used to screen the mimotope (peptidomimetic) of ochratoxin A (OTA) from the phage-displayed peptide library. The interactions between nanobody and the most sensitive Y4 peptidomimetic were investigated by computer-assisted simulation and compared with those between nanobody and OTA. By combining the nanobody, the phage-displayed Y4 and alkaline phosphatase-tagged Y4 fusion protein as the competing antigens, were used to develop two novel immunoassay platforms (PN-ELISA and APN-ELISA). The two methods are advantageous in the use of nontoxic substitutes of OTA and avoiding the use of monoclonal antibodies. Moreover, good analytical performances of both methods were obtained and confirmed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Therefore, the proposed novel methods based on nanobody and peptidomimetic were demonstrated to be highly reliable for detecting OTA in food.

Abstract
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry toxins have been widely used in the development of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) for pest control. This work aimed to establish more cost effective methods for used Cry2Aa toxins. Three immunoassay methods (IC-ELISA, DAS-ELISA, and CLEIA) were successfully developed in this work. The mAb was used as the detecting antibody, for the IC-ELISA, the range of IC20 to IC80 was 1.11 μg/mL - 60.70 μg/mL, and an IC50 of 10.65 μg/mL. For the DAS-ELISA, the limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) were 10.76 ng/mL and 20.70 ng/mL, respectively. For the CLEIA, the LOD and LOQ were 6.17 ng/mL and 7.40 ng/mL, respectively. The scFv-based detections were the most sensitive for detecting Cry2Aa. The LOD and LOQ for the DAS-ELISA were 118.75 ng/mL and 633.48 ng/mL, respectively. The LOD and LOQ for the CLEIA, read as 37.47 ng/mL and 70.23 ng/mL, respectively. The fact that Cry2Aa toxin was recovered in spiked grain samples further demonstrated that the approaches might be used to identify field samples. These methods provided good sensitivity, stability, and applicability for detecting Cry2Aa toxin, promising ultrasensitive monitoring and references for Cry toxins risk assessment.

Quantum-Dot-Bead-Based Fluorescence-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Sensitive Detection of Cry2A Toxin in Cereals Using Nanobodies. Foods 2022; 11:foods11182780.

Abstract
In this study, a quantum-dot-bead (QB)-based fluorescence-linked immunosorbent assay (FLISA) using nanobodies was established for sensitive determination of the Cry2A toxin in cereal. QBs were used as the fluorescent probe and conjugated with a Cry2A polyclonal antibody. An anti-Cry2A nanobody P2 was expressed and used as the capture antibody. The results revealed that the low detection limit of the developed QB-FLISA was 0.41 ng/mL, which had a 19-times higher sensitivity than the traditional colorimetric ELISA. The proposed assay exhibited a high specificity for the Cry2A toxin, and it had no evident cross-reactions with other Cry toxins. The recoveries of Cry2A from the spiked cereal sample ranged from 86.6–117.3%, with a coefficient of variation lower than 9%. Moreover, sample analysis results of the QB-FLISA and commercial ELISA kit correlated well with each other. These results indicated that the developed QB-FLISA provides a potential approach for the sensitive determination of the Cry2A toxin in cereals.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) have been widely used for the on-site detection of genetically modified components. However, the practical applications are often limited by the complex matrix, such as in red samples. In this study, a thionine (Thi) labeling-based LFIA was developed for the first time to detect CP4-EPSPS protein. The optimal labeling concentration of Thi was 0.5 mg/mL, and the antibody could be rapidly coupled to Thi in 10 min. The visual limit of detection (vLOD) levels for transgenic soybean, sugar beet, and cotton containing the CP4-EPSPS protein reached 0.05%, 0.1%, and 0.1%, respectively, and had no interference from other proteins. After storage at 4 °C for three months, the LFIA sensitivity remained unchanged and showed good stability. This method could be used to screen and detect a variety of transgenic crops containing the CP4-EPSPS protein, and the results were consistent with the current standard assay. This study pioneered the development of an immunochromatographic method using Thi as a marker and applied it to the detection of the CP4-EPSPS protein in herbicide-tolerant transgenic crops. This provides a new method for the rapid immunoassay of Thi as a dye and has good prospects for practical application.

Abstract
Insect-resistant genetically modified organisms have been globally commercialized for the last 2 decades. Among them, transgenic crops based on Bacillus thuringiensis crystalline (Cry) toxins are extensively used for commercial agricultural applications. However, less emphasis is laid on quantifying Cry toxins because there might be unforeseen health and environmental concerns. Immunoassays, being the preferred method for detection of Cry toxins, are reviewed in this study. Owing to limitations of traditional colorimetric enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the trend of detection strategies shifts to modified immunoassays based on nanomaterials, which provide ultrasensitive detection capacity. This review assessed and compared the properties of the recent advances in immunoassays, including colorimetric, fluorescence, chemiluminescence, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, surface plasmon resonance, and electrochemical approaches. Thus, the ultimate aim of this study is to identify research gaps and infer future prospects of current approaches for the development of novel immunosensors to monitor Cry toxins in food and the environment.

Abstract
Alpha fetal protein (AFP) is a significant biomarker of liver cancer. Herein we developed a novel phage-mediated double-nanobody sandwich immunoassay (P-ELISA) for sensitive detection of AFP in serum, where the phage displayed the nanobody for antigen recognition and multiple copies of major coat protein pVIII for signal amplification. The expressed nanobody Nb-A1 and the phage-displayed nanobody phage-A2 served as the capture antibody and detection antibody, respectively. Based on the optimal experimental conditions, the P-ELISA has a half maximal saturation concentration of 24.85 ng mL-1 and a limit of detection of 0.237 ng mL-1 for AFP. The P-ELISA is highly selective for AFP and ignorable cross-reactions were observed with other tested cancer biomarkers. After elimination of the matrix effect by 30-fold dilution with 0.5 × PBS, clinical serum samples were analyzed by the P-ELISA. The results correlated well with those of the AFP commercial ELISA kit and the Roche E601 automatic chemiluminescence analyzer. Thus, it showed the potential of the recombinant phage for highly sensitive and selective detection of AFP and provides a novel detection model for the other disease-related biomarkers.
