Grewal R, Ortega GA, Geng F, Srinivasan S, Rajabzadeh AR. Label-free electrochemical detection of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and C-reactive protein (CRP) to predict the maturation of coronary heart disease due to diabetes. Bioelectrochemistry 2024; 159:108743. [PMID: 38788312 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2024.108743] [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: 01/30/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
The pathophysiological link between diabetes and heightened propensity for the development of coronary heart disease (CHD) is well-established. Prevailing evidence confirms that small increases in low concentrations of high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) in the human body can determine the tendency of developing CHD. Additionally, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a well-recognized biomarker to evaluate diabetes progression. Given the positive correlation between diabetes and CHD, this research presents a notably unprecedented label-free electrochemical approach for the dual detection of %HbA1c regarding Total Hb and hs-CRP, facilitating early CHD prediction and cost-effective point-of-care diagnostics. Furthermore, a novel redox probe O-(4-Nitrophenylphosphoryl)choline (C11H17N2O6P) was used for the electrochemical detection of CRP, a method not documented in scientific literature before. The calibration curves demonstrate a limit of detection (LOD) of 5 mg/mL in PBS (pH 8) and 6 mg/mL in simulated blood (SB) for a linear range of 0-30 mg/mL of HbA1c. Conjointly, a LOD of 0.007 mg/mL and 0.008 mg/mL for measurement in PBS (pH 7.4) and SB are reported for a linear range of 0-0.05 mg/mL of CRP. The electrochemical systems presented could accurately quantify HbA1c and CRP in mixed samples, demonstrating reasonable specificity and practical applicability for complex biological samples.

Vertical Flow Immunoassay Based on Carbon Black Nanoparticles for the Detection of IgG against SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein in Human Serum: Proof-of-Concept. BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:857. [PMID: 37754091 PMCID: PMC10526127 DOI: 10.3390/bios13090857] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023]
Abstract
Point-of-care tests play an important role in serological diagnostics of infectious diseases and post-vaccination immunity monitoring, including in COVID-19. Currently, lateral flow tests dominate in this area and show good analytical performance. However, studies to improve the effectiveness of such tests remain important. In comparison with lateral flow tests, vertical flow immunoassays allow for a reduction in assay duration and the influence of the hook effect. Additionally, the use of carbon black nanoparticles (CNPs) as a color label can provide a lower detection limit (LOD) compared to conventional colloidal gold. Therefore, we have developed a vertical flow immunoassay for the detection of IgG against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in human serum samples by applying a conjugate of CNPs with anti-human IgG mouse monoclonal antibodies (CNP@MAb). The vertical flow assay device consists of a plastic cassette with a hole on its top containing a nitrocellulose membrane coated with spike protein and an absorbent pad. The serum sample, washing buffer, and CNP@MAb flow vertically through the nitrocellulose membrane and absorbent pads, reducing assay time and simplifying the procedure. In positive samples, the interaction of CNP@MAb with anti-spike antibodies leads to the appearance of black spots, which can be visually detected. The developed method allows for rapid visual detection (5-7 min) of IgG vs. spike protein, with a LOD of 7.81 BAU/mL. It has been shown that an untrained operator can perform the assay and visually evaluate its results. Thus, the presented assay can be used in the further development of test systems for the serological diagnostics of COVID-19 or post-vaccination immunity monitoring.

ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:29534-29542.

Abstract
Brucellosis is an infectious zoonosis caused by Brucella with clinical symptoms of wavy fever, fatigue, and even invasion of tissues and organs in the whole body, posing a serious threat to public health around the world. Herein, a novel vertical flow immunoassay based on Au@Pt nanoparticles (Au@PtNPs-VFIA) was established for detection of Brucella IgG antibody in clinical serum samples. The testing card of Au@PtNPs-VFIA was manufactured by printing the purified Brucella LPS and goat antimouse IgG on the nitrocellulose membrane as the test-spot or control-spot, respectively. Au@PtNPs labeled with protein G (Au@PtNPs-prG) were concurrently employed as detection probes presenting visible spots and catalysts mimicking catalytic enzymes to catalyze the DAB substrate (H2O2 plus O-phenylenediamine) for deepening color development. The testing procedure of Au@PtNPs-VFIA takes 2-3 min, and the limit of detection (LOD) for Brucella antibody is 0.1 IU/mL, which is faster and more sensitive than that of Au@PtNP-based lateral flow immunoassay (Au@PtNPs-LFIA: 15 min and 1.56 IU/mL, respectively). By comparing with vertical flow immunoassay based on classic Au nanoparticles (AuNPs-VFIA), the Au@PtNPs-VFIA is 32 times or 16 times more sensitive with or without further development of DAB substrate catalysis. Au@PtNPs-VFIA did not react with the serum samples of Gram-negative bacterium infections but only weakly cross-reacted with diagnostic serum of Y. enterocolitica O9 infection. In detection of clinical samples, Au@PtNPs-VFIA was validated for possessing 98.33% sensitivity, 100% specificity, and 99.17% accuracy, which were comparable with or even better than those obtained by the Rose-Bengal plate agglutination test, serological agglutination test, AuNPs-VFIA, and Au@PtNPs-LFIA. Therefore, this newly developed Au@PtNPs-VFIA has potential for rapid, ultrasensitive, and on-site diagnosis of human Brucellosis in clinics.

Abstract
C-Reaction protein (CRP) is a marker of nonspecific immunity for vital signs and wound assessment, and it can be used to diagnose infections in clinical medicine. However, measuring CRP level currently requires hospital-based instruments, high-cost reagents, and a complex process, all of which have limited its full capabilities for self-detection, a growing trend in modern medicine. In this study, we developed a novel smartphone-based device using advanced methods of magnetoelastic immunosensing to mitigate these limitations. We combined a system-on-chip (SoC) hardware architecture with smartphone apps to realize the sampling of resonance frequency shift on magnetoelastic chips, which can determine the ultra-sensitivity to mass change caused by the binding of anti-CRP antibody and CRP. Through detecting a multi-group of samples, we found that the resonance frequency shift was linearly proportional to the CRP concentration in the range from 0.1 to 100 μg mL-1, with a sensitivity of 12.90 Hz μg-1 mL-1 and a detection limit of 2.349 × 10-4 μg mL-1. Meanwhile, compared with the large-scale instrument used in clinical settings, the performance of our device was stable and significantly more portable, rapid and cost-effective, offering excellent potential for modern home-based diagnosis.

Gold Nanoparticles Prepared with Cyclodextrin Applied to Rapid Vertical Flow Technology for the Detection of Brucellosis. BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:bios12070531.

Abstract
Currently, brucellosis seriously threatens the health of humans and animals and hinders the development of animal husbandry. However, the diagnostic methods for brucellosis have some disadvantages, such as low sensitivity, long detection time, professional operation, and high cost. This study aims to establish a convenient, fast, effective, and inexpensive detection method for brucellosis. Gold nanoparticles with β-cyclodextrin as a reducing agent were prepared and optimized, applied to rapid vertical flow technology (RVFT), and used to establish a kit for the detection of brucellosis. In this study, gold nanoparticles prepared from β-cyclodextrin were applied to RVFT for the first time, and on this basis, silver staining amplification technology was introduced, which further improved the sensitivity and reduced the detection limit of this method. Standard Brucella-Positive Serum (containing Brucella antibody at 4000 IU/mL) could be detected in this system even for a dilution factor of 1 × 10−3. The detection limit was 4 IU/mL. RVFT is simple to operate, has a short reaction time, and is 5–6 min visible to the naked eye, without any equipment.

Abstract
To prevent the transmission of brucellosis, rapid vertical flow technology (RVFT) was developed to detect brucellosis antibodies. To improve the sensitivity of the technique, lipopolysaccharides (LPS) were purified and used to detect brucellosis antibodies. To improve the sensitivity of serum antibody detection, a single multifunctional buffer was established in whole blood and other biological samples, and the advantages of the lateral flow immunoassay were retained. Flower-like gold nanoparticles were applied to RVFT for the first time. In this study, silver ions were catalyzed by flower-like gold nanoparticles into metal silver deposited on the surface of gold nanoparticles for the first time, which not only increased the particle size of gold nanoparticles, but also showed a more distinguishable black color on the test zone, further improving the sensitivity of RVFT. Standard Brucella-positive serum (containing Brucella antibody at 4000 IU mL-1) could be detected in this system even for a dilution factor of 2 × 10-3. The detection limit was 2 IU mL-1. RVFT can effectively avoid the false negative phenomenon in lateral flow immunoassay. RVFT is simple to operate, with a short reaction time, 2-3 minutes visible to the naked eye, without any equipment. Because it is very important to control the brucellosis epidemic, this approach has great application prospects in basic medical units and for veterinarians.

Abstract
Rapid, simple, and sensitive point-of-care testing (POCT) has attracted attention in recent years due to its excellent potential for early disease diagnosis and health monitoring. The flow-through biosensor design is a candidate for POCT that utilizes the small-sized pores of a porous membrane as a recognition space where it emits a signal comparable to that of a conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay within 35 min of detection time. In this paper, we present a numerical model for this immunosensing technology to systematically design an improved recognition system. The model considers mass transfer into the pore (convection and diffusion), the kinetics between the immobilized receptor and the target molecule, and the flow conditions, successfully leading to a bottleneck step (capture of secondary antibody) in sandwich-type detection. Our simulation results also show that this problem can be solved by adopting both appropriate receptors and analytical conditions. Eventually, the requirements to achieve the sensitivity required for POCT were fulfilled, which will allow for further development of immunosensing devices for disease detection.

Abstract
Background Highly efficient capture and detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) remain elusive mainly because of their extremely low concentration in patients’ peripheral blood. Methods We present an approach for the simultaneous capturing, isolation, and detection of CTCs using an immuno-fluorescent magnetic nanobead system (iFMNS) coated with a monoclonal anti-EpCAM antibody. Results The developed antibody nanobead system allows magnetic isolation and fluorescent-based quantification of CTCs. The expression of EpCAM on the surface of captured CTCs could be directly visualized without additional immune-fluorescent labeling. Our approach is shown to result in a 70–95% capture efficiency of CTCs, and 95% of the captured cells remain viable. Using our approach, the isolated cells could be directly used for culture, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and immunocytochemistry (ICC) identification. We applied iFMNS for testing CTCs in peripheral blood samples from a lung cancer patient. Conclusions It is suggested that our iFMNS approach would be a promising tool for CTCs enrichment and detection in one step. Graphic abstract ![]()

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has become one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in both men and women. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), ischemic heart disease is the major issue due to the narrowing of the coronary artery by plaque formation on the artery wall, which causes an inadequate flow of oxygen and blood to the heart and is called 'coronary artery disease'. The CVD death rate increased by up to 15% in 2016 (~17.6 million) compared to the past decade. This tremendous increment urges the development of a suitable biomarker for rapid and early diagnosis. Currently, C-reactive protein (CRP) is considered an outstanding biomarker for quick and accurate outcomes in clinical analyses. Various techniques have also been used to diagnose CVD, including surface plasmon resonance (SPR), colorimetric assay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), fluoro-immunoassays, chemiluminescent assays, and electrical measurements. This review discusses such diagnostic strategies and how current, cutting-edge technologies have enabled the development of high-performance detection methodologies. Concluding remarks have been made concerning the clinical significance and the use of nanomaterial in medical diagnostics towards nanotheranostics.

Abstract
The in situ synthesis is reported of citric acid-functionalized ultra-fine bimetallic PtRu alloy nanoparticles (CA@PtRu ANPs) through a simple one-pot wet chemical method. The cost-efficient CA@PtRu ANPs with an average diameter of 3.2 nm revealed to have enhanced surface area, peroxidase-like activity, high stability, and adequate availability of functional groups to bind biomolecules. Along with nanoparticle surface area, the surface charge has also significantly affected the peroxidase-like activity and the colloidal suspension stability. As an excellent immobilization matrix and peroxidase mimic, the CA@PtRu ANPs were utilized to develop non-enzymatic colorimetric immunoassay for rapid, selective, and sensitive quantification of C-reactive protein (CRP) biomarkers. In this immunoassay, CA@PtRu ANPs serve as enzyme mimic that significantly amplifies the color signals, and amine-functionalized silica-coated magnetic microbeads (APTES/SiO2@Fe3O4) act as CRP-recognizing capture probes. The absorbance curves of colorimetric immunoassay were measured in wavelengths between 550 and 750 nm, and the maximum absorbance at 652 nm was used to establish a linear relationship between absorbance and CRP concentrations. The developed colorimetric immunoassay showed rapid and sensitive quantification of CRP levels from 0.01 to 180 μg mL-1 with a LOD of 0.01 μg mL-1. Moreover, the mean recovery of CRP from spiked human serum samples lies between 97 and 109% (n = 3), which indicates that the proposed nanozyme-linked immunoassay has the potential to be used in rapid point-of-care applications.

Abstract
Humans are subjected to various diseases; hence, proper diagnosis helps avoid further disease consequences. One such severe issue that could cause significant damage to the human liver is the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Several techniques are available to detect HCV under various categories, such as detection through antibodies, antigens, and RNA. Although immunoassays play a significant role in discovering hepatitis viruses, there is a need for point-of-care tests (POCT). Some developing strategies are required to ensure the appropriate selection of POCT for HCV detection, initiate appropriate antiviral therapy, and define associated risks, which will be critical in achieving optimal outcomes. Though molecular assays are precise, reproducible, sensitive, and specific, alternative strategies are required to enhance HCV diagnosis among the infected population. Herein, we described and assessed the potential of various microfluidic detection techniques and confirmatory approaches used in present communities. In addition, current key market players in HCV chip-based diagnosis and the future perspectives on the basis of which the diagnosis can be made easier are presented in the present review.

Abstract
There is a great demand for the development of detection assays for inflammation infection diagnosis with high throughput and ultrasensitivity. Herein, a vertical flow assay system with functionalized nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) as sensing membrane, and encoded core-shell surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanotags as labels for multiple inflammatory biomarkers detection is presented. A 2 × 2 test array on the porous AAO is developed and modified with multiple capture antibodies to capture inflammatory biomarkers from samples. Due to the high surface area to volume ratio of the AAO membrane, and its influence on plasmonic coupling, the electromagnetic field of the encoded core-shell SERS nanotags is enhanced. Detection limits of 53.4, 4.72, 48.3, and 7.53 fg mL-1 are realized for C reactive protein, interleukin-6, serum amyloid A, and procalcitonin, respectively, with a linear dynamic range spanning at least five orders of magnitude. In addition, the proposed method also shows acceptable accuracy and repeatability for the detection of clinical samples. Therefore, this approach is expected to be a powerful point of care testing tool for disease diagnosis in facility limited areas.

Abstract
Certain blood-borne biomarkers offer a potent methodology for understanding the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) with clinicians generally advocating the use of multiple biomarkers for proper risk assessment of CVDs. Herein four such CVDs biomarkers- C-reactive protein (CRP), N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), and fibrinogen- were rapidly (5 min) analyzed from clinical samples (~ 4 µL) on an integrated microfluidic platform equipped with 1) immobilized highly specific aptamer probes and 2) field-effect transistor (FET)-based sensor arrays. The calibration curve from the FET sensor arrays showed good agreement in the physiological concentration ranges for CRP (0.1-50 mg/L), NT-proBNP (50-10,000 pg/mL), cTnI (1-10,000 pg/mL), and fibrinogen (0.1-5 mg/mL). The developed prototype of this fully automated portable device requires minimal reagent and sample inputs and consequently shows great promise for next-generation point-of-care devices assaying multiple CVDs biomarkers in clinical samples.

Abstract
The immunochromatographic (ICA) assay is a highly promising platform for rapid and simple detection of C-reactive protein (CRP) which is an indicator of the different phases of various diseases, as well as of inflammation and infection. However, the hook effect in the ICA assay limits the quantification of CRP levels at high CRP concentrations. Methods: In this study, we developed a hook effect-free immunochromatographic assay (HEF-ICA) to detect CRP over a wide concentration range. The hook effect results from the simultaneous reaction of an excess target antigens with both immobilized and labeled antibodies respectively. To reduce the potential occurrence of this simultaneous reaction, we separated the migration of the target antigen and gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-labeled antibodies on a nitrocellulose membrane and analyzed the time profiles by modifying the ICA structure. Results: The signal intensity of HEF-ICA was saturated at high CRP concentrations, without decreasing. The titration curve of HEF-ICA was adjusted with the Hill equation, and HEF-ICA was performed with the following parameters: limit of detection, 43 ng mL-1; dynamic range, 119 ng mL-1 to 100 µg mL-1. The accuracy of the newly developed assay was evaluated using 33 clinical samples via comparison with a clinical chemistry analyzer. Conclusion: HEF-ICA enabled the measurement of a wide range of CRP concentrations without the hook effect, and was suitable for point-of-care testing with fingertip blood sampling, as only a minute sample volume (2.5 µL) was required.

Abstract
Background Accurate and reliable blood grouping is essential for safe blood transfusion. However, conventional methods are qualitative and use only single-antigen detection. We overcame these limitations by developing a simple, quantitative, and multiplexed detection method for blood grouping using quantum dots (QDs) and magnetic beads. Methods In the QD fluorescence assay (QFA), blood group A and B antigens were quantified using QD labeling and magnetic beads, and the blood groups were identified according to the R value (the value was calculated with the fluorescence intensity from dual QD labeling) of A and B antigens. The optimized performance of QFA was established by blood typing 791 clinical samples. Results Quantitative and multiplexed detection for blood group antigens can be completed within 35 min with more than 105 red blood cells. When conditions are optimized, the assay performance is satisfactory for weak samples. The coefficients of variation between and within days were less than 10% and the reproducibility was good. The ABO blood groups of 791 clinical samples were identified by QFA, and the accuracy obtained was 100% compared with the tube test. Receiver-operating characteristic curves revealed that the QFA has high sensitivity and specificity toward clinical samples, and the cutoff points of the R value of A and B antigens were 1.483 and 1.576, respectively. Conclusion In this study, we reported a novel quantitative and multiplexed method for the identification of ABO blood groups and presented an effective alternative for quantitative blood typing. This method can be used as an effective tool to improve blood typing and further guarantee clinical transfusion safety.
