Nanobody-Alkaline Phosphatase Fusion Protein-Based Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for One-Step Detection of Ochratoxin A in Rice.

ABSTRACT: Ochratoxin A (OTA) has become one a focus of public concern because of its multiple toxic effects and widespread contamination. To monitor OTA in rice, a sensitive, selective, and one-step enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using a nanobody-alkaline phosphatase fusion protein (Nb28-AP) was developed. The Nb28-AP was produced by auto-induction expression and retained an intact antigen-binding capacity and enzymatic activity. It exhibited high thermal stability and organic solvent tolerance. Under the optimal conditions, the developed assay for OTA could be finished in 20 min with a half maximal inhibitory concentration of 0.57 ng mL^-1 and a limit of detection of 0.059 ng mL^-1, which was 1.1 times and 2.7 times lower than that of the unfused Nb28-based ELISA. The Nb28-AP exhibited a low cross-reactivity (CR) with ochratoxin B (0.92%) and ochratoxin C (6.2%), and an ignorable CR (<0.10%) with other mycotoxins. The developed Nb-AP-based one-step ELISA was validated and compared with a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method. The results show the reliability of Nb-AP-based one-step ELISA for the detection of OTA in rice.

Development of a Nanobody-AviTag Fusion Protein and Its Application in a Streptavidin-Biotin-Amplified Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Ochratoxin A in Cereal.

Project description:Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a common food contaminant that threatens consumers' safety and health. A sensitive and selective biotin-streptavidin-amplified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (BA-ELISA) for OTA using a nanobody-AviTag fusion protein (Nb-AviTag) was developed in this study. The prokaryotic expression vector Nb28-AviTag-pAC6 for Nb-AviTag was constructed, followed by transformation to the AVB101 cells for antibody expression and in vivo biotinylation. The purified Nb28-AviTag was used to establish the BA-ELISA and the procedures for this Nb-AviTag-based BA-ELISA were optimized. The Nb-AviTag-based BA-ELISA exhibited the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 0.14 ng mL-1 and the limit of detection (LOD = IC10) of 0.028 ng mL-1 for OTA basing on the optimized experiment parameters. The assay sensitivity was improved 4.6 times and 4.3 times compared to Nb-based ELISA, respectively. This method had LODs of 1.4 ?g kg-1 in barley, 0.56 ?g kg-1 in oats, and 0.84 ?g kg-1 in rice for OTA. The average recovery percent was in a range of 84-137%, and the relative standard derivation percent ranged from 0.64% to 7.8%. The content of OTA in contaminated cereal samples was determined by both the developed Nb-AviTag-based method and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The results demonstrated that the Nb-AviTag was a robust and promising bioreceptor in highly sensitive detection of OTA and other low molecular weight compounds using BA system.

Development of a nanobody-alkaline phosphatase fusion protein and its application in a highly sensitive direct competitive fluorescence enzyme immunoassay for detection of ochratoxin A in cereal.

Project description:A rapid and sensitive direct competitive fluorescence enzyme immunoassay (dc-FEIA) for ochratoxin A (OTA) based on a nanobody (Nb)-alkaline phosphatase (AP) fusion protein was developed. The VHH (variable domain of heavy chain antibody) gene of Nb28 was subcloned into the expression vector pecan45 containing the AP double-mutant gene. The Nb28-AP construct was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)plysS, and soluble expression in bacteria was confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Western blot. Both the Nb properties and AP enzymatic activity were validated by colorimetric and fluorometric analysis. The 50% inhibitory concentration and the detection limit of the dc-FEIA were 0.13 and 0.04 ng/mL, respectively, with a linear range of 0.06-0.43 ng/mL. This assay was compared with LC-MS/MS, and the results indicated the reliability of Nb-AP fusion protein-based dc-FEIA for monitoring OTA contamination in cereal.

One-step immunoassay for tetrabromobisphenol a using a camelid single domain antibody-alkaline phosphatase fusion protein.

Project description:Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is a ubiquitous brominated flame retardant, showing widespread environmental and human exposures. A variable domain of the heavy chain antibody (VHH), naturally occurring in camelids, approaches the lower size limit of functional antigen-binding entities. The ease of genetic manipulation makes such VHHs a superior choice to use as an immunoreagent. In this study, a highly selective anti-TBBPA VHH T3-15 fused with alkaline phosphatase (AP) from E. coli was expressed, showing both an integrated TBBPA-binding capacity and enzymatic activity. A one-step immunoassay based on the fusion protein T3-15-AP was developed for TBBPA in 5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)/phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4), with a half-maximum signal inhibition concentration (IC50) of 0.20 ng mL(-1). Compared to the parental VHH T3-15, T3-15-AP was able to bind to a wider variety of coating antigens and the assay sensitivity was slightly improved. Cross-reactivity of T3-15-AP with a set of important brominated analogues was negligible (<0.1%). Although T3-15-AP was susceptible to extreme heat (90 °C), much higher binding stability at ambient temperature was observed in the T3-15-AP-based assay for at least 70 days. A simple pretreatment method of diluting urine samples with DMSO was developed for a one-step assay. The recoveries of TBBPA from urine samples via this one-step assay ranged from 96.7% to 109.9% and correlated well with a high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy (HPLC-MS/MS) method. It is expected that the dimerized fusion protein, VHH-AP, will show promising applications in human exposure and environmental monitoring.

Development of a one-step immunoassay for triazophos using camel single-domain antibody-alkaline phosphatase fusion protein.

Project description:Triazophos is mainly used in Asian and African countries for the control of insects in agricultural production. Camelid variable domains of heavy-chain antibodies (VHHs) show great promise in monitoring environmental chemicals such as pesticides. To improve the rate of success in the generation of VHHs against triazophos, genes specifically encoding VHH fragments from the unique allotype IgG3a of an immunized Camelus bactrianus were amplified by using a pair of novel primers and introduced to construct a diverse VHH library. Five out of seven isolated positive clones, including the VHH T1 with the highest affinity to triazophos, were derived from the allotype IgG3a. A one-step enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using VHH T1 genetically fused with alkaline phosphatase (AP) had a half-maximum inhibition concentration of 6.6 ng/mL for triazophos. This assay showed negligible cross-reactivity with a list of important organophosphate pesticides (< 0.1%). The average recoveries of triazophos from water, soil, and apple samples determined by the one-step ELISA ranged from 83 to 108%, having a good correlation with those by a gas chromatography mass spectrometry (R2 = 0.99). The VHH-AP fusion protein shows potential for the analysis of triazophos in various matrices.

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of nicotine metabolites.

Project description:The level of cotinine in biological specimens, such as serum, urine, and saliva, measured by gas or liquid chromatography is the most validated and reliable indicator of exposure to tobacco smoke. However, chromatographic methods are not always suitable for all types of situations.We validated a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that uses a polyclonal antibody to cotinine as a practical alternative to chromatographic methods.The cotinine antibody cross-reacts to 3-hydroxycotinine (3HC) and its glucuronide, thus generating a value for immunoreactive (IR) cotinine, which is a complex comprising cotinine, 3HC, and 3HC-glucuronide. The levels of IR cotinine in the urine of kindergarten children closely correlated with those of cotinine measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and reflected the smoking behavior of their parents more precisely than cotinine levels determined by GC-MS.Our findings showed that the cotinine-based ELISA can be a practical biomarker of exposure to tobacco smoke.

Sandwich Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Quantification of Callose.

Project description:The existing methods of callose quantification include epifluorescence microscopy and fluorescence spectrophotometry of aniline blue-stained callose particles, immuno-fluorescence microscopy and indirect assessment of both callose synthase and β-(1,3)-glucanase enzyme activities. Some of these methods are laborious, time consuming, not callose-specific, biased and require high technical skills. Here, we describe a method of callose quantification based on Sandwich Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (S-ELISA). Tissue culture-derived banana plantlets were inoculated with Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum (Xcm) bacteria as a biotic stress factor inducing callose production. Banana leaf, pseudostem and corm tissue samples were collected at 14 days post-inoculation (dpi) for callose quantification. Callose levels were significantly different in banana tissues of Xcm-inoculated and control groups except in the pseudostems of both banana genotypes. The method described here could be applied for the quantification of callose in different plant species with satisfactory level of specificity to callose, and reproducibility. Additionally, the use of 96-well plate makes this method suitable for high throughput callose quantification studies with minimal sampling and analysis biases. We provide step-by-step detailed descriptions of the method.

A macrodomain-linked immunosorbent assay (MLISA) for mono-ADP-ribosyltransferases.

Project description:ADP-ribosyltransferases (ARTs) catalyze reversible additions of mono- and poly-ADP-ribose onto diverse types of proteins by using nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) as a cosubstrate. In the human ART superfamily, 14 out of 20 members are shown to catalyze endogenous protein mono-ADP-ribosylation and play important roles in regulating various physiological and pathophysiological processes. Identification of new modulators of mono-ARTs can thus potentially lead to discovery of novel therapeutics. In this study, we developed a macrodomain-linked immunosorbent assay (MLISA) for characterizing mono-ARTs. Recombinant macrodomain 2 from poly-ADP-ribose polymerase 14 (PARP14) was generated with a C-terminal human influenza hemagglutinin (HA) tag for detecting mono-ADP-ribosylated proteins. Coupled with an anti-HA secondary antibody, the generated HA-tagged macrodomain 2 reveals high specificity for mono-ADP-ribosylation catalyzed by distinct mono-ARTs. Kinetic parameters of PARP15-catalyzed automodification were determined by MLISA and are in good agreement with previous studies. Eight commonly used chemical tools for PARPs were examined by MLISA with PARP15 and PARP14 in 96-well plates and exhibited moderate inhibitory activities for PARP15, consistent with published reports. These results demonstrate that MLISA provides a new and convenient method for quantitative characterization of mono-ART enzymes and may allow identification of potent mono-ART inhibitors in a high-throughput-compatible manner.

Optimization of a human papillomavirus-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Project description:A strategy was developed for the control, standardization, and critical evaluation of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of human papillomavirus-specific immunoglobulin G in human sera. Control human sera, polyclonal animal sera, and monoclonal antibodies were used to establish optimal assay parameters, including antigen coating, serum dilutions, and criteria for daily reproducibility, monitoring, and rejection of assays. Three evaluation techniques were used in parallel to define an optimal cutoff absorbance value that yields greater than 93% sensitivity and 98.5% specificity in the assay's ability to discriminate positive and negative control sera. This strategy provides an optimal method by which to determine cutoff absorbance values for ELISA.

Development of a Nanobody-Based Competitive Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Efficiently and Specifically Detecting Antibodies against Genotype 2 Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Viruses.

Project description:Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection causes considerable economic loss to the global pig industry. Efficient detection assay is very important for the prevention of the virus infection. Nanobodies are the advantages of small molecular weight, simple genetic engineering, and low production cost for promising diagnostic application. In this study, to develop a nanobody-based competitive ELISA (cELISA) for specifically detecting antibodies against PRRSV, three nanobodies against PRRSV-N protein were screened by camel immunization, library construction, and phage display. Subsequently, a recombinant HEK293S cell line stably secreting nanobody-horseradish peroxidase (HRP) fusion protein against PRRSV-N protein was successfully constructed using the lentivirus transduction assay. Using the cell lines, the fusion protein was easily produced. Then, a novel cELISA was developed using the nanobody-HRP fusion protein for detecting antibodies against PRRSV in pig sera, exhibiting a cut-off value of 23.19% and good sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility. Importantly, the cELISA specifically detect anti-genotype 2 PRRSV antibodies. The cELISA showed more sensitive than the commercial IDEXX ELISA kit by detecting the sequential sera from the challenged pigs. The compliance rate of cELISA with the commercial IDEXX ELISA kit was 96.4%. In addition, the commercial IDEXX ELISA kit can be combined with the developed cELISA for the differential detection of antibodies against genotype 1 and 2 PRRSV in pig sera. Collectively, the developed nanobody-based cELISA showed advantages of simple operation and low production cost and can be as an assay for epidemiological investigation of genotype 2 PRRSV infection in pigs and evaluation after vaccination.

Development of a Highly Sensitive Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Mouse Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Detection by Combining a Polyclonal Capture Antibody with a Nanobody Tracer.

Project description:Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) for the detection of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), a key enzyme in the metabolism of fatty acids and a biomarker, may increasingly represent an important diagnostic tool. However, there is a lack of ELISAs for mouse sEH quantification, thus resulting in a bottleneck in understanding the pathogenesis of many diseases related to sEH based on mouse models. In this work, nanobodies recognizing mouse sEH were obtained through rebiopanning against mouse sEH in the previous phage display library of human sEH. Later, we developed four ELISAs involving a combination of anti-mouse sEH polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) and nanobodies. It was found that the double antibodies worked as dual filters and had a huge impact on both the sensitivity and selectivity of sandwich immunoassays. The switch from anti-human sEH pAbs to anti-mouse sEH pAbs led to over a 100-fold increase in the sensitivity and a dramatic decrease of the limit of detection to a picogram per milliliter range in format B (pAb/biotin-VHH/streptavidin-poly-horseradish peroxidase). Moreover, we found that the four sandwich ELISAs might demonstrate excellent selectivities to mouse sEH, despite the antibodies alone showing significant cross-reactivity to the matrix, indicating the enhanced selectivity of double antibodies as dual filters. Eventually, for the first time, the ELISA (format B) was successfully used to measure the mouse sEH level in cancer cells with ultralow abundances. The ELISAs proposed here represent a sensitive tool for tracking sEH in various biological processes and also provide deep insights into developing sandwich immunoassays against various targets in terms of both the sensitivity and selectivity.
