Highly Accurate and Fast Electrochemical Detection of Scrub Typhus DNA via a Nanoflower NiFe-Based Biosensor.

ABSTRACT: Owing to the lack of specific diagnostic methods, Scrub typhus can sometimes be difficult to diagnose in the Asia-Pacific region. Therefore, an efficient and rapid detection method urgently needs to be developed. Based on competitive single-stranded DNA over modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE), an electrochemical biosensor was established to detect the disease. The nano-flower NiFe layered double hydroxide (NiFe-LDH) modified GCE has a large specific surface area, which supported a large amount of gold nanoparticles, so that a wide linear detection range from 25 fM to 0.5 μM was obtained. The beacon DNA (B-DNA) with the same sequence as the Scrub typhus DNA (T-DNA), but labeled with methylene blue, was used to construct a competitive relationship. When T-DNA and B-DNA were present on the sensor simultaneously, they would hybridize with probe DNA in a strong competition, and the corresponding electrochemical response signal would be generated via testing. It contributed to reducing tedious experimental procedures and excessive response time, and achieved fast electrochemical detection of DNA. The strategy provides a worthy avenue and possesses promising applications in disease diagnosis.

A Portable Biosensor Based on Au Nanoflower Interface Combined with Electrochemical Immunochromatography for POC Detection of Prostate-Specific Antigen.

Project description:Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a widely used for the detection of prostate cancer and is considered the most reliable biomarker. However, the currently reported detection methods cannot achieve rapid monitoring. Here, we report a novel electrochemical immunochromatography (EIC) system for clinically accurate PSA detection. First, we constructed a carbon interface modified with gold nanoflowers (Au NFs) based on screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE), which acted as nanostructures with larger specific surface area that increased the number of PSA capture antibodies and can further improve detection signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. Then, we fabricated detection chips by combining the SPCE/Au NFs with EIC. Under optimized conditions, the proposed biosensor exhibits high accuracy, taking only 15 minutes to complete detection. By measuring the levels of PSA in clinical blood samples, the biosensor can successfully discriminate clinically diagnosed prostate cancer patients from healthy controls.

Neuropsychiatric Manifestations of Scrub Typhus.

Project description:Scrub typhus is caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi characterized by focal or disseminated vasculitis and perivasculitis which may involve the lungs, heart, liver, spleen and central nervous system. It was thought to have been eradicated from India. Recently it is being reported from many areas of India. The clinical picture and severity of the symptoms varies widely. The neurological manifestations of scrub typhus are not uncommon but are diverse. Meningoencephalitis is classical manifestation of scrub typhus but cerebellitis, cranial nerve palsies, plexopathy, transverse myelitis, neuroleptic malignant syndrome and Guillan-Barré syndrome are other manifestations reported in literature. The availability of literature on the neurological manifestations of scrub typhus is limited to case reports mainly. This article reviews various neurological manifestations of scrub typhus reported in literature.

AuNPs/CNF-modified DNA biosensor for early and quick detection of <i>O. tsutsugamushi</i> in patients suffering from scrub typhus.

Project description:A novel approach has been developed for the detection of 56 kDa tissue-specific antigen (TSA) gene of Orientia tsutsugamushi a causative agent of scrub typhus disease. The approach was developed by immobilization of 5' NH2 labeled ssDNA probe selective to 56 kDa TSA gene, to the surface of AuNPs/CNF modified screen-printed electrode. An electrochemical response was recorded with single stranded genomic DNA (ssDNA) of O. tsutsugamushi isolated from patient sample, using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The electrode surface was characterized by Field-Emission Scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman Spectroscopy at each step of fabrication. The DNA biosensor shows optimum response within 50-60 s at room temperature (25 ± 3 °C). The sensor shows higher sensitivity [7849 (µA/cm2)/ng DNA], fast response time (60 s), wider linear range (0.04-2.6 ng) with limit of detection of 0.02 ng/µl of ssDNA sample.

Affinity Peptide-based Electrochemical Biosensor for the Highly Sensitive Detection of Bovine Rotavirus.

Project description:Bovine diarrhea is a major concern in the global bovine industry because it can cause significant financial damage. Of the many potential infectious agents that can lead to bovine diarrhea, bovine rotavirus (BRV) is a particular problem due to its high transmissibility and infectivity. Therefore, it is important to prevent the proliferation of BRV using an early detection system. This study developed an affinity peptide-based electrochemical method for use as a rapid detection system for BRV. A BRV-specific peptide was identified via the phage display technique and chemically synthesized. The synthetic peptide was immobilized on a gold electrode through thiol-gold interactions. The performance of the BRV specific binding peptides was evaluated using square wave voltammetry. The developed detection system exhibited a low detection limit (5 copies/mL) and limit of quantitation (2.14 × 102 copies/mL), indicating that it is a promising sensor platform for the monitoring of BRV.

Highly sensitive pork meat detection using copper(ii) tetraaza complex by electrochemical biosensor.

Project description:Three copper(ii) tetraaza complexes [Cu(ii)LBr]Br (1a), [Cu(ii)L(CIO4)](CIO4) (2a) and [Cu(ii)L](CIO4)2 (2b), where L = 5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-7,14-diene were prepared and confirmed by FTIR, 1HNMR and 13CNMR. The binding interaction of complex (1a, 2a, 2b) with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) was investigated using UV-vis absorption, luminescence titrations, viscosity measurements and molecular docking. The findings suggested that complex 1a, 2a and 2b bind to DNA by electrostatic interaction, and the strengths of the interaction were arranged according to 2b > 1a > 2a. The differences in binding strengths were certainly caused by the complexes' dissimilar charges and counter anions. Complex 2b, with the biggest binding strength towards the DNA, was further applied in developing the porcine sensor. The developed sensor exhibits a broad linear dynamic range, low detection limit, good selectivity, and reproducibility. Analysis of real samples showed that the biosensor had excellent selectivity towards the pork meat compared to chicken and beef meat.
