Traditional immunoassays exhibit insufficient screening sensitivity for foodborne pathogens due to their low colorimetric signal intensities. Herein, we propose an ultrasensitive dynamic light scattering (DLS) immunosensor for Salmonella based on a "cargo release-seed growth" strategy enabled by a probe, namely gold nanoparticle-decorated covalent...
“Point of care” (POC) methods without expensive instruments and special technicians are greatly needed for high-throughput analysis of mycotoxins. In comparison, the most widely used screening method of the conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) confronts low sensitivity and harmful competing antigens. Herein, we develop a plasmonic...
The ordered assembly of nanostructure is an effective strategy used to manipulate the hydrodynamic diameter (DH) of nanoparticles. Herein, a versatile dynamic light scattering (DLS) immunosensing platform is presented to sensitively detect small molecules and biomacromolecules by using the M13 phage as the building module to order the assembly of g...
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is widely used in the routine screening of mycotoxin contamination in various agricultural and food products. Herein, a cascade-amplifying system was introduced to dramatically promote the sensitivity of an immunoassay for ochratoxin A (OTA) detection. Specifically, a biotinylated M13 bacteriophage was intr...
Conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is commonly used for Ochratoxin A (OTA) screening, but it is limited by low sensitivity and harmful competing antigens of enzyme-OTA conjugates. Herein, a bifunctional M13 bacteriophage with OTA mimotopes fused on the p3 protein and biotin modified on major p8 proteins was introduced as an eco-...
Herein, a sulfydryl modification of M13 bacteriophage was introduced as bio-functional component including biological recognition, and nanozyme container for enhancing sensitivity of colorimetric immunsensor, where the seven peptide sequence fused on the p3 protein of M13 was used to mimic deoxynivalenol (DON) antigen for recognizing the anti-DON m...
Owing to the over-increasing demands in resisting and managing the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, development of rapid, highly sensitive, accurate, and versatile tools for monitoring total antibody concentrations at the population level has been evolved as an urgent challenge on measuring the fatality rate, tracking the changes in in...
Herein, we report a novel multiplex fluorescent competitive immunosensor using self-luminous bacteria as a bifunctional probe for the simultaneous detection and quantification of multiple pathogens. The self-luminous bacteria are prepared through the facile one-step co-culture of bacteria and organic fluorescent dyes. Cronobacter muytjensii, Lister...
A polyethyleneimine (PEI)-assisted copper in-situ growth (CISG) strategy was proposed as a controlled signal amplification strategy to enhance the sensitivity of gold nanoparticle-based lateral flow sensors (AuNP-LFS). The controlled signal amplification is achieved by introducing PEI as a structure-directing agent to regulate the thermodynamics of...
In this study, we developed an indirect competitive plasmonic immunoassay using glucose oxidase (GOx)-induced redox reaction to etch Au nanorods (AuNRs) for qualitative and quantitative detection of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in milk. In this system, streptavidin (SA) was selected as a linker between biotinylated anti-AFM1-monoantibody (bio-mAb) and bioti...
Conventional colloidal gold immunochromatographic assay (AuNP-ICA) cannot meet the requirements for rapid and sensitive detection of Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7 because of its poor sensitivity. Herein, a novel two-step cascade signal amplification strategy that integrates in-situ gold growth and nanozyme-mediated catalytic deposition was pro...
Conventional dissociation-enhanced lanthanide (Ln3+) fluoroimmunoassays (DELFIAs) using Ln3+ chelate-labeled antibodies as molecular probes exhibit limited sensitivity because of their relatively low Ln3+ labeling ratio per biomolecule. Herein, we applied gold nanoflowers (AuNFs) as amplified nanocarriers to increase the Ln3+ labeling ratio in a si...
Gold nanoflowers (GNFs) exhibit stronger light-scattering ability than gold nanospheres (GNSs) with the same diameter, thereby contributing to enhancing the sensitivity of scattering-based sensing method. However, the application of GNFs in biosensors based on dynamic light scattering (DLS) has not been yet reported. Herein, we described for the fi...
