SERS-Based Colloidal Aptasensors for Quantitative Determination of Influenza Virus.

ABSTRACT: Development of sensitive techniques for rapid detection of viruses is on a high demand. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is an appropriate tool for new techniques due to its high sensitivity. DNA aptamers are short structured oligonucleotides that can provide specificity for SERS biosensors. Existing SERS-based aptasensors for rapid virus detection had several disadvantages. Some of them lacked possibility of quantitative determination, while others had sophisticated and expensive implementation. In this paper, we provide a new approach that combines rapid specific detection and the possibility of quantitative determination of viruses using the example of influenza A virus.

A Combination of Membrane Filtration and Raman-Active DNA Ligand Greatly Enhances Sensitivity of SERS-Based Aptasensors for Influenza A Virus

Project description:Biosensors combining the ultrahigh sensitivity of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and the specificity of nucleic acid aptamers have recently drawn attention in the detection of respiratory viruses. The most sensitive SERS-based aptasensors allow determining as low as 104 virus particles per mL that is 100-fold lower than any antibody-based lateral flow tests but 10–100-times higher than a routine polymerase chain reaction with reversed transcription (RT-PCR). Sensitivity of RT-PCR has not been achieved in SERS-based aptasensors despite the usage of sophisticated SERS-active substrates. Here, we proposed a novel design of a SERS-based aptasensor with the limit of detection of just 103 particles per ml of the influenza A virus that approaches closely to RT-PCR sensitivity. The sensor utilizes silver nanoparticles with the simplest preparation instead of sophisticated SERS-active surfaces. The analytical signal is provided by a unique Raman-active dye that competes with the virus for the binding to the G-quadruplex core of the aptamer. The aptasensor functions even with aliquots of the biological fluids due to separation of the off-target molecules by pre-filtration through a polymeric membrane. The aptasensor detects influenza viruses in the range of 1·103–5·1010 virus particles per ml.

Fluorescence based Aptasensors for the determination of hepatitis B virus e antigen.

Project description:This research is aimed at selecting specific aptamer of hepatitis B e antigen by SELEX and its applications. Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) seroconversion is used as an indicator of virological response when treating patients suffering from chronic hepatitis B. HBeAg also indicates a high viremia and high infectivity in untreated patients. With HBeAg modified magnetic beads as targets, three groups of aptamers are successfully selected. These are the first reported DNA aptamers that can specifically bind to HBeAg. Based on the property that the conformation changes upon binding to its target, aptamer has emerged as ideal candidate in a variety of sensing applications. In this study, we present a simple strategy for aptamer-based fluorescence biosensors for the quantitative detection of HBeAg, in which a fluorescence labeled HBeAg aptamer serves as the molecular recognition element and a short DNA molecule that is complementary to the aptamer serves as the competitor. The LOD for HBeAg is 609 ng/mL. Later, the fluorescence system is deployed in HBeAg positive and negative blood serum (p < 0.05). The total detection assay could be completed in 2 min. These newly isolated aptamers could assist the diagnosis of chronic hepatitis B.

SERS-based dual-mode DNA aptasensors for rapid classification of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A/H1N1 infection.

Project description:We developed a dual-mode surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based aptasensor that can accurately diagnose and distinguish severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and influenza A/H1N1 at the same time. Herein, DNA aptamers that selectively bind to SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A/H1N1 were immobilized together on Au nanopopcorn substrate. Raman reporters (Cy3 and RRX), attached to the terminal of DNA aptamers, could generate strong SERS signals in the nanogap of the Au nanopopcorn substrate. Additionally, the internal standard Raman reporter (4-MBA) was immobilized on the Au nanopopcorn substrate along with aptamer DNAs to reduce errors caused by changes in the measurement environment. When SARS-CoV-2 or influenza A virus approaches the Au nanopopcorn substrate, the corresponding DNA aptamer selectively detaches from the substrate due to the significant binding affinity between the corresponding DNA aptamer and the virus. As a result, the related SERS intensity decreases with increasing target virus concentration. Thus, it is possible to determine whether a suspected patient is infected with SARS-CoV-2 or influenza A using this SERS-based DNA aptasensor. Furthermore, this sensor enables a quantitative evaluation of the target virus concentration with high sensitivity without being affected by cross-reactivity. Therefore, this SERS-based diagnostic platform is considered a conceptually new diagnostic tool that rapidly discriminates against these two respiratory diseases to prevent their spread.

SERS-Based Biosensors for Virus Determination with Oligonucleotides as Recognition Elements.

Project description:Viral infections are among the main causes of morbidity and mortality of humans; sensitive and specific diagnostic methods for the rapid identification of viral pathogens are required. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is one of the most promising techniques for routine analysis due to its excellent sensitivity, simple and low-cost instrumentation and minimal required sample preparation. The outstanding sensitivity of SERS is achieved due to tiny nanostructures which must be assembled before or during the analysis. As for specificity, it may be provided using recognition elements. Antibodies, complimentary nucleic acids and aptamers are the most usable recognition elements for virus identification. Here, SERS-based biosensors for virus identification with oligonucleotides as recognition elements are reviewed, and the potential of these biosensors is discussed.

Upconversion Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer Aptasensors for H5N1 Influenza Virus Detection.

Project description:Influenza A virus (IAV) poses a significant threat to human health, which calls for the development of efficient detection methods. The present study constructed a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) system based on novel fluorescent probes and graphene oxide (GO) for detecting H5N1 IAV hemagglutinin (HA). Here, we synthesized small (sub-20 nm) sandwich-structured upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) (SWUCNPs for short) with a high energy transfer efficiency, which allows for controlling the emitter in a thin shell. The π-π stacking interaction between the aptamer and GO shortens the distance between the fluorescent probe and the receptor, thereby realizing fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). When HA is present, the aptamer enables changes in their conformations and move away from GO surface. Fluorescence signals display a linear relationship between HA quantitation in the range of 0.1-15 ng mL-1 and a limit of detection (LOD) of 60.9 pg mL-1. The aptasensor was also applicable in human serum samples with a linear range from 0.2 to 12 ng mL-1 and a limit of detection of 114.7 pg mL-1. This strategy suggested the promising prospect of the aptasensor in clinical applications because of the excellent sensing performance and sensitivity. This strategy may be promising for vitro diagnostics and provides new insights into the functioning of the SWUCNPs system.

Simultaneously ultrasensitive and quantitative detection of influenza A virus, SARS-CoV-2, and respiratory syncytial virus via multichannel magnetic SERS-based lateral flow immunoassay.

Project description:Respiratory viruses usually induced similar clinical symptoms at early infection. Herein, we presented a multichannel surface-enhanced Raman scattering-based lateral flow immunoassay (SERS-based LFA) using high-performance magnetic SERS tags for the simultaneous ultrasensitive detection of respiratory viruses, namely influenza A virus (H1N1), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in biological samples. As-prepared magnetic SERS tags can directly enrich and capture target viruses without pretreatment of samples, avoiding the interference of impurities in the samples as well as improving the sensitivity. With the capture-detection method, the detection limits of the proposed assay reached 85 copies mL-1, 8 pg mL-1, and 8 pg mL-1 for H1N1, SARS-CoV-2 and RSV, respectively. Moreover, the detection properties of the proposed method for target viruses in throat swab samples were verified, suggesting its remarkable potential for the early and rapid differential diagnosis of respiratory viruses.

Highly sensitive detection of influenza virus with SERS aptasensor.

Project description:Highly sensitive and rapid technology of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was applied to create aptasensors for influenza virus detection. SERS achieves 106-109 times signal amplification, yielding excellent sensitivity, whereas aptamers to hemagglutinin provide a specific recognition of the influenza virus. Aptamer RHA0385 was demonstrated to have essentially broad strain-specificity toward both recombinant hemagglutinins and the whole viruses. To achieve high sensitivity, a sandwich of primary aptamers, influenza virus and secondary aptamers was assembled. Primary aptamers were attached to metal particles of a SERS substrate, and influenza viruses were captured and bound with secondary aptamers labelled with Raman-active molecules. The signal was affected by the concentration of both primary and secondary aptamers. The limit of detection was as low as 1 · 10-4 hemagglutination units per probe as tested for the H3N2 virus (A/England/42/72). Aptamer-based sensors provided recognition of various influenza viral strains, including H1, H3, and H5 hemagglutinin subtypes. Therefore, the aptasensors could be applied for fast and low-cost strain-independent determination of influenza viruses.

SERS-based quantitative detection of ovarian cancer prognostic factor haptoglobin.

Project description:Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is increasingly being used for biosensing because of its high sensitivity and low detection limit, which are made possible by the unique Raman 'fingerprint' spectra from the biomolecules. Here we propose a novel SERS method for the fast, sensitive, and reliable quantitative analysis of haptoglobin (Hp), an acute phase plasma glycoprotein that is widely gaining application as a prognostic ovarian cancer biomarker. We exploited the peroxidase activity of the hemoglobin-haptoglobin (Hb-Hp) complex formed by the selective and specific binding of Hp to free Hb to catalyze the reaction of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) substrate and hydrogen peroxide to result in the final product of strongly SERS-active TMB(2+). We observed a linear increase in the SERS signal of TMB(2+) with increasing concentrations of Hb-Hp complex from 50 nM to 34 ?M. Based on this concentration-dependent SERS spectrum, we quantified Hp in clinical samples. We observed that our inference about the prognosis of the disease coincided with the histology data and that our method was much more sensitive than the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method.

Label-free microcantilever-based immunosensors for highly sensitive determination of avian influenza virus H9

Project description:We report on label-free immunosensors for the highly sensitive detection of avian influenza virus. The method makes use of the microcantilevers of an atomic force microscope onto which monoclonal antibodies against avian influenza virus were covalently immobilized. The factors influencing the performance of the resulting immunosensors were optimized by measuring the deflections of the cantilever via optical reflection, and this resulted in low detection limits and a wide analytical range. The differential deflection signals revealed specific antigen binding and their intensity is proportional to the logarithm of the concentrations of the virus in solution. Under optimal conditions, the immunosensors exhibit a linear response in the 7.6 ng mL?1 to 76 ?g mL?1 concentration range of avian influenza virus, and the detection limit is 1.9 ng mL?1. Figure Label-free immunosensors based on microcantilevers of an atomic force microscope was fabricated by covalently immobilizing monoclonal antibodies to avian influenza virus onto the microcantilever. The performance and factors influencing the performance of the resulting immunosensors were investigated in detail by measuring the cantilever deflections using the optical reflection technique.

Gold vs. Silver Colloidal Nanoparticle Films for Optimized SERS Detection of Propranolol and Electrochemical-SERS Analyses.

Project description:The increasing pollution of surface and groundwater bodies by pharmaceuticals is a general environmental problem requiring routine monitoring. Conventional analytical techniques used to quantify traces of pharmaceuticals are relatively expensive and generally demand long analysis times, associated with difficulties in performing field analyses. Propranolol, a widely used β-blocker, is representative of an emerging class of pharmaceutical pollutants with a noticeable presence in the aquatic environment. In this context, we focused on developing an innovative, highly accessible analytical platform based on self-assembled metal colloidal nanoparticle films for the fast and sensitive detection of propranolol based on Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). The ideal nature of the metal used as the active SERS substrate was investigated by comparing silver and gold self-assembled colloidal nanoparticle films, and the improved enhancement observed on the gold substrate was discussed and supported by Density Functional Theory calculations, optical spectra analyses, and Finite-Difference Time-Domain simulations. Next, direct detection of propranolol at low concentrations was demonstrated, reaching the ppb regime. Finally, we showed that the self-assembled gold nanoparticle films could be successfully used as working electrodes in electrochemical-SERS analyses, opening the possibility of implementing them in a wide array of analytical applications and fundamental studies. This study reports for the first time a direct comparison between gold and silver nanoparticle films and, thus, contributes to a more rational design of nanoparticle-based SERS substrates for sensing applications.
