Development of a direct-binding chloramphenicol sensor based on thiol or sulfide mediated self-assembled antibody monolayers

A batch-type antibody-immobilized quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) system for detecting chloramphenicol (CAP) was developed. To bind an anti-CAP antibody onto the gold electrode surface of piezoelectric crystals, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of different thiols or sulfides were formed by a chemisorption procedure. Then, the anti-CAP antibody was covalently linked to the pre-formed monolayers by an activation procedure using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride and N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide. The antibody-immobilized QCM chip thus prepared was installed in a well holder and was measured for sensor response. Compared with the bare QCM chip and the QCM chip only coated with 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA), the antibody-immobilized sensor showed greatly enhanced frequency shifts by 10-50-fold after CAP injection. In this case, CAP detection which was indicated by steady-state resonant frequency shift was accomplished within 10 min. When CAP solution was injected into the reaction cell in 50mM concentration, the frequency shifts obtained were, respectively, 530 and 505 Hz in case of thiosalicylic acid and MPA immobilization. Repeated use of the sensor chips up to eight times was possible after 1 min regeneration with 0.1M NaOH. This system demonstrated a potential application of thiol or sulfide mediated SAMs as the pre-coatings of a real-time detection on CAP in solution.     

Application of impedance spectroscopy for monitoring colloid Au-enhanced antibody immobilization and antibody-antigen reactions

We used colloidal Au to enhance the amount of antibody immobilized on a gold electrode and ultimately monitored the interaction of antigen-antibody by impedance measurement. Self-assembly of 6 nm (diameter) colloidal Au onto the self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of 4-aminothiophenol modified gold electrode resulted in an easier attachment of antibody. The redox reactions of [Fe(CN)6](4-)/[Fe(CN)6](3-) on the gold surface were blocked due to the procedures of self-assembly of 4-aminothiophenol and antibody immobilization, which were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy. The interaction of antigen with grafted antibody recognition layers was carried out by soaking the modified electrode into a phosphate buffer at pH 7.4 with various concentrations of antigen at 37 degrees C for 30 min. The antibody recognition layers and their interactions with various concentrations of antigen could be detected by measurements of the impedance change. The results show that this method has good correlation for detection of Hepatitis B virus surface antigen in the range of 0.5-200 microg/l and a detection limit of about 50 ng/l.     

Surface engineering: optimization of antigen presentation in self-assembled monolayers.

The formation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold surfaces containing an antigenic peptide (NANP)6 and HS(CH2)11OH, and the specific binding of a monoclonal antibody to these layers were investigated by surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Peptides were synthesized by solid-state phase synthesis and were linked either to cysteine or to an alkyl-thiol to allow covalent attachment to gold. The content of the peptide in the SAMs was systematically varied, and the binding properties of the monoclonal antibody were compared with those measured by microcalorimetry in solution. At a critical peptide concentration in the SAM an optimal antibody binding and complete surface coverage was attained. At lower peptide concentrations, the amount of adsorbed antibody decreased; at higher peptide concentrations, the binding constant decreased. These effects can be explained if the accessibility of the antigenic epitopes depends on the peptide density. Addition of free antigen induced the desorption of bound antibodies and allowed accurate measurements of the dissociation rate constant. Binding constants obtained from steady-state measurements and from measurements of the kinetic rate constants were compared.     

A comparative study of capacitive immunosensors based on self-assembled monolayers formed from thiourea, thioctic acid, and 3-mercaptopropionic acid

A procedure was developed for the covalent coupling of anti-alpha-fetoprotein antibody (anti-AFP) to a gold surface modified with a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of thiourea (TU). The performance of the SAM-antibody layer was compared to those of similar layers based on thioctic acid (TA) and 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) by using flow injection capacitive immunosensor system. Covalent coupling of anti-AFP on self-assembled thiourea monolayer (SATUM) modified gold electrode can be used to detect alpha-fetoprotein with high efficiency, similar sensitivity, the same linear range (0.01-10 microgl(-1)) and detection limit (10 ngl(-1)) as those obtained from sensors based on self-assembled thioctic acid monolayer (SATAM) and self-assembled 3-mercaptopropionic acid monolayer (SAMPAM). The system is specific for alpha-fetoprotein and can be regenerated and reused up to 48 times. Therefore, self-assembled monolayer using thiourea which is cheaper than thioctic acid and 3-mercaptopropionic acid is a good alternative for biosensor applications when SAMs are used.     

Building of an immunosensor: how can the composition and structure of the thiol attachment layer affect the immunosensor efficiency?

Immunosensors, based on the immobilization of a model rabbit antibody on mixed self-assembled monolayers and Protein A as a linking agent on gold transducers, were elaborated and characterized at each step by modulated polarization-infrared spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) and occasionally by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). By testing two different mixed SAMs comprising 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA), together with either decanethiol (C9CH3) or mercaptohexanol (C6OH), the role of the chemical composition and structure of the antibody attachment layer upon the sensor performance was demonstrated.     

Bioelectrocatalytic detection of theophylline at theophylline oxidase electrodes

Bioelectrocatalytic oxidation of theophylline was studied at gold and graphite electrodes modified with microbial theophylline oxidase (ThOx), a multi-cofactor redox enzyme capable of selective oxidation of theophylline. Gold electrodes were additionally modified with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of (-OH)- and (-NH(2))-terminated alkanethiols of different chain lengths, to achieve compatibility between ThOx and the electrode surface. On graphite, ThOx was either physically co-adsorbed with a surfactant didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB), or entrapped within an Os-redox-polymer film. At all electrodes, ThOx was bioelectrocatalytically active; direct electrochemistry of ThOx in the absence of theophylline was followed only at the SAM-modified gold electrodes. Direct electrochemistry of ThOx correlated with redox transformations of the heme domain of ThOx, with a E(o/)of -110+/-2 mV versus Ag|AgCl, at pH 7. Bioelectrocatalytic oxidation of theophylline was optimal at mixed (-OH)/(-NH(2))-terminated SAMs; co-adsorption of ThOx with DDAB improved the bioelectrocatalytic performance of the ThOx-electrode. In both cases, the response to theophylline was within the mM range. Alternatively, a reagentless ThOx-electrode based on ThOx cross-linked within the Os-redox-polymer matrix demonstrated a linear response to theophylline within the physiologically important 0.02-0.6mM (3.6-72 mg l(-1)) concentration range with a sensitivity of 52.1+/-7.8 mA cm(-2)M(-1).     

Protein kinase assay on peptide-conjugated gold nanoparticles

We demonstrate that protein kinase can be assayed with high sensitivity on peptide-conjugated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Phosphorylation of peptides on the AuNP-monolayers was detected by using an anti-phosphotyrosine antibody (alpha-pY) and Cy3-labeled secondary antibody (Cy3-alpha-mIgG) as a probing molecule. When compared to conventional self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), spherical and three-dimensional geometry of AuNPs led to high surface density of peptide substrate and easy accessibility to enzyme, and consequently the resulting AuNP monolayers gave rise to improved detection sensitivity. Blocking of peptide-conjugated AuNPs with a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) also contributed to a higher signal-to-background ratio in kinase and its inhibition assays. The use of AuNPs as the platform surface will enable highly sensitive detection of protein kinases in a high-throughput manner.     

Characterization of multilayer-enhanced surface-enhanced raman scattering (SERS) substrates and their potential for SERS nanoimaging

Multilayer gold surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates, which consist of continuous gold films that are separated by self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and cast over 430-nm diameter silica nanospheres on a glass slide, have been evaluated as a means of further enhancing the SERS signals produced from conventional metal film over nanostructure substrates. Evaluation of the effect of various SAMs, with different terminal functional groups, on the SERS enhancement factor were measured and compared to conventional single-layer gold film over nanostructure substrates, revealing relative enhancements as great as 22.4-fold in the case of 2-mercapto-ethanol spacer layers. In addition to evaluation of the effect of different terminal functionalities, the effect of spacer length was also investigated, revealing that the shorter chain length alcohols provided the greatest signals. Employing the optimal SERS multilayer geometry, SERS nanoimaging probes were fabricated and the SERS enhancement factor and variability in enhancement factor were measured over the SERS active imaging area, providing absolute enhancements similar to previous silver-based SERS nanoimaging probes (i.e., 1.2 × 10⁸). Varying the size of the multilayer gold islands that were deposited on the tip of the SERS active nanoimaging probe, it is possible to tune the optimal SERS excitation wavelength accurately and predictably over the range of approximately 450 to 600 nm, without coating the entire surface of the probe and significantly reducing the transmission and resulting signal-to-noise ratio of the images obtained.     

Controlled three-dimensional immobilization of biomolecules on chemically patterned surfaces

We used electron-beam lithography to fabricate chemical nanostructures, i.e. amino groups in aromatic self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold surfaces. The amino groups are utilized as reactive species for mild covalent attachment of fluorescently labeled proteins. Since non-radiative energy transfer results in strong quenching of fluorescent dyes in the vicinity of the metal surfaces, different labeling strategies were investigated. Spacers of varying length were introduced between the gold surface and the fluorescently labeled proteins. First, streptavidin was directly coupled to the amino groups of the SAMs via a glutaraldehyde linker and fluorescently labeled biotin (X-Biotin) was added, resulting in a distance of approximately 2 nm between the dyes and the surface. Scanning confocal fluorescence images show that efficient energy transfer from the dye to the surface occurs, which is reflected in poor signal-to-background (S/B) ratios of approximately 1. Coupling of a second streptavidin layer increases the S/B-ratio only slightly to approximately 2. The S/B-ratio of the fluorescence signals could be further increased to approximately 4 by coupling of an additional fluorescently labeled antibody layer. Finally, we introduced tetraethylenepentamine as functional spacer molecule to diminish fluorescence quenching by the surface. We demonstrate that the use of this spacer in combination with multiple antibody layers enables the controlled fabrication of highly fluorescent three-dimensional nanostructures with S/B-ratios of >20. The presented technique might be used advantageously for the controlled three-dimensional immobilization of single protein or DNA molecules and the well-defined assembly of protein complexes.     

Electrochemiluminescence of peroxydisulfate enhanced by L-cysteine film for sensitive immunoassay

A novel label free electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor based on the ECL of peroxydisulfate solution for detection of α-1-fetoprotein (AFP) has been developed. For this proposed immunosensor, L-cysteine was firstly electrodeposited on the gold electrode surface, which promoted the electron transfer and largely enhanced the ECL of peroxydisulfate solution. Subsequently, gold nanoparticles (nano-Au) were assembled onto the L-cysteine film modified electrode to improve the absorption capacity of antibody and further amplify the ECL signal. Then, antibody was immobilized onto the electrode through nano-Au. At last bovine serum albumin (BSA) was employed to block the nonspecific binding sites. As a result, a novel ECL immunosensor was firstly obtained by applying the ECL of peroxydisulfate solution without conventional luminescent reagents. The AFP was determined in the range of 0.01-100 ng mL(-1), with a low detection limit of 3.3 pg mL(-1) (S/N=3). The proposed ECL immunosensor provides a rapid, simple, and sensitive immunoassay protocol for protein detection, which might hold a promise for clinical application. Moreover, this work would open up a new field in the application of peroxydisulfate solution ECL for highly sensitive bioassays.
