Abstract
Fibrinogen as a major inflammation marker and blood coagulation factor has a direct impact on the health of humanity. The variations in fibrinogen content lead to risky conditions such as bleeding and cardiovascular diseases. So, accurate methods for monitoring of this glycoprotein are of high importance. The conventional methods, such as the Clauss method, are time consuming and require highly specialized expert analysts. The development of fast, simple, easy to use, and inexpensive methods is highly desired. In this way, biosensors have gained outstanding attention since they offer means for performing analyses at the points-of-care using self-testing devices, which can be applied outside of clinical laboratories or hospital. This review indicates that different electrochemical and optical sensors have been successfully implemented for the detection of fibrinogen under normal levels of fibrinogen in plasma. The biosensors for the detection of fibrinogen have been designed based on the quartz crystal microbalance, field-effect transistor, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, amperometry, surface plasmon resonance, localized surface plasmon resonance, and colorimetric techniques. Also, this review demonstrates the utility of the application of nanoparticles in different detection techniques.

Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1253:341097. [PMID: 36965996 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/15/2023]
Abstract
A surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor based on the folding and assembly characteristics of the three-dimensional structure of paper fibers, the skeleton controllability of metal-organic framework materials (MOFs), and the morphology designability of plasmonic noble metal materials has been established for rapid on-site determination of ethephon in food. HKUST-1(Cu) was assembled onto a carbon-treated chromatographic paper matrix by electrodeposition, and its skeleton respiration and sponge effect were used to overcome the bottleneck problem of poor affinity of SERS substrate for target molecules. Further coupled with the targeted recognition specificity of biomimetic antibodies, a paper-based interface with high specificity of molecular sensitivity was constructed. A sandwich multi-stage progressive enhancement structure was designed to couple plasma pine branch-shaped silver material in situ at the interface to realize superposition and collaborative amplification of SERS signals. When the paper-based strip sensor was used to monitor ethephon, it demonstrated a linear range of 10-3 to 10 mg kg-1 and a detection limit of around 1.39 × 10-4 mg kg-1. The construction and application of the paper-based HKUST-1(Cu)/biomimetic antibodies/pine branch-shaped silver material sensor will provide technical means and theoretical support for the rapid and efficient identification of biological ripening agent residues in food with multi-level signal enhancement.

Abstract
Highly sensitive and specific diagnostics for cannabis usage are essential for rapid on-site screening for illicit drug usage. To improve the sensitivity of THC immunoassays, a proper immobilization of the sensing elements on the sensor substrate is critical. In this work, we demonstrated the utilization of EDC/NHS coupling chemistry with nanocellulose to obtain efficient anchor layers for the immobilization of anti-immune complex antibodies on surfaces. In our approach, the high surface-to-volume ratio, OH-group-rich surface, and high hygroscopicity of TOCNF enable efficient surface functionalization and enhance water permeation inside the nanocellulose network structure, offering a hydrophilic spacer for the sensing antibodies. THC detection was shown in both SPR (surface plasmon resonance technique) and paper-based sensing systems. In SPR, antibody immobilization and the related interactions with the target molecule complex with 1-10 μg/mL THC were followed in-situ in aqueous environment, revealing robust attachment of the antibody to the nanocellulose layer and preserved bioactivity. Additionally, quantitative THC detection was enabled on paper substrate by colorimetric means by employing labeled anti-THC Fab antibody fragments as detection antibodies. THC detection efficiency of covalently linked biointerface was superior compared to the performance of physically linked biointerface. The chemical conjugation of anti-IC to nanocellulose allowed efficient binding, whereas supramolecular conjugation led to insufficient binding, highlighting the relevance of the developed nanocellulose-based anchor layer.

Sensitive SARS-CoV-2 salivary antibody assays for clinical saline gargle samples using smartphone-based competitive particle immunoassay platforms. Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 229:115221. [PMID: 36958205 PMCID: PMC10008095 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115221] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2022] [Revised: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/13/2023]
Abstract
Antibody assay for SARS-CoV-2 has become increasingly important to track latent and asymptomatic infections, check the individual's immune status, and confirm vaccine efficacy and durability. However, current SARS-CoV-2 antibody assays require invasive blood collection, requiring a remote laboratory and a trained phlebotomist. Direct detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies from clinical saline gargle samples has been considered challenging due to the smaller number of antibodies in such specimens and the high limit of detection of currently available rapid tests. This work demonstrates simple and non-invasive methods for detecting SARS-CoV-2 salivary antibodies. Competitive particle immunoassays were developed on a paper microfluidic chip using the receptor-binding domain (RBD) antigens on spike proteins. Using a smartphone, they were monitored by counting the captured fluorescent particles or evaluating the capillary flow velocities. The limit of detection (LOD), cross-binding between alpha- and omicron-strains, and the effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) presence were investigated. LODs were 1-5 ng/mL in both 10% and 1% saliva. Clinical saline gargle samples were assayed using both methods, showing a statistical difference between virus-negative and virus-positive samples, although the assays targeted antibodies. Only a small number of virus-positive samples were antibody-negative. The high assay sensitivity detected a small number of antibodies developed even during the early phase of infections. Overall, this work demonstrates the ability to detect SARS-CoV-2 salivary IgG antibodies on simple, cost-effective, portable platforms towards mitigating SARS-CoV-2 and potentially other respiratory viruses.
