Antibody-based surface plasmon resonance detection of intact viral pathogen

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 2006

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique was used to directly detect an intact form of insect pathogen: the baculovirus, Autographa californica multiple nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV). An SPR sensor chip with three bio-functional layers was used to detect the intact AcMNPV: amine-reactive crosslinker with a disulfide bond that chemisorbs to gold film, Protein A, and a mouse IgG monoclonal antibody raised against a surface protein of the target viral pathogen. A two-channel (reference & test) micro-fluidic SPR system is used for reliable measurement. Bio-specific response to the AcMNPV is compared with the response for tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) as control. Successive exposure of the sensor chip to both viruses verifies a specific response to AcMNPV. This serves as a prerequisite to the development of a new type of viral pathogen detection sensors. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Surface plasmon resonance immunosensors: sensitivity considerations

Analytica Chimica Acta, 1988

Some aspects of improving surface plasmon resonance response in immunosensing applications are considered. Both from calculations and experiments, it was found that maximum sensitivity is obtained for a silver layer about 55 nm thick in direct contact with the species to be quantified. Application of an intermediate layer with high permittivity can be useful in suppressing background responses. Experimentally, a protein surface-coverage fraction of ca. 0.1 could be measured, corresponding to ca. lo-" mol 1-l antibody.

Surface plasmon resonance applications in clinical analysis

Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2014

In the last 20 years, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and its advancement with imaging (SPRi) emerged as a suitable and reliable platform in clinical analysis for labelfree, sensitive, and real-time monitoring of biomolecular interactions. Thus, we report in this review the state of the art of clinical target detection with SPR-based biosensors in complex matrices (e.g., serum, saliva, blood, and urine) as well as in standard solution when innovative approaches or advanced instrumentations were employed for improved detection. The principles of SPR-based biosensors are summarized first, focusing on the physical properties of the transducer, on the assays design, on the immobilization chemistry, and on new trends for implementing system analytical performances (e.g., coupling with nanoparticles (NPs). Then we critically review the detection of analytes of interest in molecular diagnostics, such as hormones (relevant also for anti-doping control) and biomarkers of interest in inflammatory, cancer, and heart failure diseases. Antibody detection is reported in relation to immune disorder diagnostics. Subsequently, nucleic acid targets are considered for revealing genetic diseases (e.g., point mutation and single nucleotides polymorphism, SNPs) as well as new emerging clinical markers (microRNA) and for pathogen detection. Finally, examples of pathogen detection by immunosensing were also analyzed. A parallel comparison with the reference methods was duly made, indicating the progress brought about by SPR technologies in clinical routine analysis.

An immunosensor for syphilis screening based on surface plasmon resonance

Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 1993

In this paper the development of a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) immunosensor for syphilis screening is described. This immunosensor is based on the detection of antibodies in serum against the causative organism Treponema pallidum. In order to achieve selectivity a recombinant Treponema pallidum membrane protein A (TmpA) was used. This antigen can react with antibodies to T. pallidum, present in serum of syphilitic patients. Reproducible results have been obtained, using a 'sandwich SPR' method: binding of a sandwich antibody to the treponemal antibody after serum incubation was measured in real time while the binding was taking place. The SPR results obtained from ten blind-coded sera corresponded well with classical syphilis tests (Treponema pallidurn haemagglutination assay (TPHA) , fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorbed test (PTA-ABS), venereal diseases research laboratory flocculation test (VDRL) and TmpA-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (TmpA-ELISA)). Preliminary experiments showed that direct measurement of serum (in the 'one step SPR') is not yet possible, probably as a result of non-uniformity of serum samples. The application of latex beads is considered to solve this problem.

The Study of Baccilus Cereus on Surface Plasmon Resonance Based Biosensor

International Journal of Engineering & Technology, 2018

SPR biosensors have obtained elaborate application in the area of biological interactions and detection for chemo-bio analytes, where the benefits of real-time, label attraction potential and label-free technique are prominent.

A portable surface plasmon resonance sensor system for real-time monitoring of small to large analytes

Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology, 2005

Many environmental applications exist for biosensors capable of providing real-time analyses. One pressing current need is monitoring for agents of chemical-and bio-terrorism. These applications require systems that can rapidly detect small organics including nerve agents, toxic proteins, viruses, spores and whole microbes. A second area of application is monitoring for environmental pollutants. Processing of grab samples through chemical laboratories requires significant time delays in the analyses, preventing the rapid mapping and cleanup of chemical spills. The current state of development of miniaturized, integrated surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor elements has allowed for the development of inexpensive, portable biosensor systems capable of the simultaneous analysis of multiple analytes. Most of the detection protocols make use of antibodies immobilized on the sensor surface. The Spreeta 2000 SPR biosensor elements manufactured by Texas Instruments provide three channels for each sensor element in the system. A temperature-controlled two-element system that monitors for six analytes is currently in use, and development of an eight element sensor system capable of monitoring up to 24 different analytes will be completed in the near future. Protein toxins can be directly detected and quantified in the low picomolar range. Elimination of false positives and increased sensitivity is provided by secondary antibodies with specificity for different target epitopes, and by sensor element redundancy. Inclusion of more than a single amplification step can push the sensitivity of toxic protein detection to femtomolar levels. The same types of direct detection and amplification protocols are used to monitor for viruses and whole bacteria or spores. Special protocols are required for the detection of small molecules. Either a competition type assay where the presence of analyte inhibits the binding of antibodies to surface-immobilized analyte, or a displacement assay, where antibodies bound to analyte on the sensor surface are displaced by free analyte, can be used. The small molecule detection assays vary in sensitivity from the low micromolar range to the high picomolar.

The fabrication of protein chip based on surface plasmon resonance for detection of pathogens

Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 2005

Protein chip based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was developed for detection of pathogens existing in contaminated environment, such as Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella typhimurium, Legionella pneumophila, and Yersinia enterocolitica. Protein G was immobilized to endow the orientation of antibody molecules on the SPR surface. The pathogen binding of the protein chip was investigated by SPR spectroscopy. Consequently, it was found that the four kinds of pathogen could be selectively detected by using SPR-based protein chip.

Rapid Immunoglobulin M-Based Dengue Diagnostic Test Using Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensor

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a medical diagnosis technique with high sensitivity and specificity. In this research, a new method based on SPR is proposed for rapid, 10-minute detection of the anti-dengue virus in human serum samples. This novel technique, known as rapid immunoglobulin M (IgM)-based dengue diagnostic test, can be utilized quickly and easily at the point of care. Four dengue virus serotypes were used as ligands on a biochip. According to the results, a serum volume of only 1 ml from a dengue patient (as a minimized volume) is required to indicate SPR angle variation to determine the ratio of each dengue serotype in samples with 83-93% sensitivity and 100% specificity.
