A single polyaniline (PANI) nanowire-based biosensor was established to detect immunoglobulin G (IgG) and myoglobin (Myo), which is one of the cardiac biomarkers. The single PANI nanowires were fabricated via an electrochemical growth method, in which single nanowires were formed between a pair of patterned electrodes. The single PANI nanowires were functionalized with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) of IgG or Myo via a surface immobilization method, using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC), and N-hydroxysuccinimde (NHS). The functionalization was then verified by Raman spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy. The target proteins of IgG and Myo were detected by measuring the conductance change of functionalized single PANI nanowires owing to the capturing of target proteins by mAbs. The detection limit was found to be 3 ng/mL for IgG and 1.4 ng/mL for Myo. No response was observed when single nanowires were exposed to a non-specific protein, demonstrating excellent specificity to expected target detection. Together with the fast response time (a few seconds), high sensitivity, and good specificity, this single PANI nanowire-based biosensor shows great promise in the detection of cardiac markers and other proteins. 相似文献

We report on a facile method for the preparation of biocompatible and bioactive magnetic nanowires. The method consists of the direct deposition of polysaccharides by layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly onto a brush of metallic nanowires obtained by electrodeposition of the metal within the nanopores of an alumina template supported on a silicon wafer. Carboxymethylpullulan (CMP) and chitosan (CHI) multilayers were grown on brushes of Ni nanowires; subsequent grafting of an enzyme was performed by conjugating free amine side groups of chitosan with carboxylic groups of the enzyme. The nanowires are finally released by a gentle ultrasonic treatment. Transmission electron microscopy, electron energy-dispersive loss spectroscopy, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicate the formation of an homogeneous coating onto the nickel nanowires when one, two, or three CMP/CHI bilayers are deposited. This easy and efficient route to the biochemical functionalization of magnetic nanowires could find widespread use for the preparation of a broad range of nanowires with tailored surface properties. 相似文献

A 125I-protein A-binding assay detecting antibodies to cell surface antigens on human blood cells was developed and evaluated using sera from multitransfused nonleukemic patients sensitized against HLA antigens. The binding assay was found to be reproducible and more sensitive than conventional HLA testing. Seven patients with acute myelogenous leukemia and two patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia successfully treated by chemotherapy were then investigated. Sera from seven of the patients studied in partial or complete remission demonstrated significant binding to autochthonous leukemic cells obtained from bone marrow or peripheral blood. In two cases sera taken during the leukemic stage demonstrated the most pronounced binding to the patients' own leukemic cells. Sera from four patients with demonstrable significant binding to autochthonous leukemic cells failed to bind to autochthonous remission cells when both types of target cells were tested in parallel. Differences in serum concentrations of IgG, IgA, and IgM were not the cause of the demonstrated increased binding of leukemic sera to autochthonous target cells. We propose that the 125I-protein A-binding assay presented in this paper detects antibodies reacting selectively with acute leukemia cells. 相似文献

Multianalyte immunoassay with self-assembled addressable microparticle array on a chip 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This paper describes the random fluidic self-assembly of metallic particles into addressable two-dimensional microarrays and the use of these arrays as a platform for constructing a biochip useful for bioassays. The basic units in the assembly were the microfabricated particles carrying a straightforward visible code and the corresponding array template patterned on a glass substrate. The particles consisted of a hydrophobic and magnetic Ni-polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composite layer on one face, and on the other face a gold layer that was modified for biomolecular attachment. An array template was photoresist-patterned with spatially discrete microwells in which an electrodeposited Ni-PTFE hydrophobic composite layer and a hydrophobic photo-adhesive coating were deposited. The particles, after biomaterial attachment and binding processes in bulk, were self-assembled randomly onto the lubricated bonding sites on the chip substrate, driven by a combination of magnetic, hydrophobic, and capillary interactions. The encoding symbol carried by the particles was used as the signature for the identification of each target/assay attached to the particle surface. We demonstrate here the utility of microfabricated-encoded particle arrays for conducting multianalyte immunoassays in a parallel fashion with the use of imaging detection. 相似文献

We have demonstrated that the electrostatic stretch-and-positioning method is useful for the analysis of a long DNA molecule by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM). DNA molecules were stretched parallel to the field line, and immobilized onto the aluminum electrodes patterned on a glass plate. Through AFM observation, we confirmed the immobilization of individual DNA molecules, not aggregate. 相似文献

Antigen recognition by T cells involves large scale spatial reorganization of numerous receptor, adhesion, and costimulatory proteins within the T cell-antigen presenting cell (APC) junction. The resulting patterns can be distinctive, and are collectively known as the immunological synapse. Dynamical assembly of cytoskeletal network is believed to play an important role in driving these assembly processes. In one experimental strategy, the APC is replaced with a synthetic supported membrane. An advantage of this configuration is that solid structures patterned onto the underlying substrate can guide immunological synapse assembly into altered patterns. Here, we use mobile anti-CD3ε on the spatial-partitioned supported bilayer to ligate and trigger T cell receptor (TCR) in live Jurkat T cells. Simultaneous tracking of both TCR clusters and GFP-actin speckles reveals their dynamic association and individual flow patterns. Actin retrograde flow directs the inward transport of TCR clusters. Flow-based particle tracking algorithms allow us to investigate the velocity distribution of actin flow field across the whole synapse, and centripetal velocity of actin flow decreases as it moves toward the center of synapse. Localized actin flow analysis reveals that, while there is no influence on actin motion from substrate patterns directly, velocity differences of actin are observed over physically trapped TCR clusters. Actin flow regains its velocity immediately after passing through confined TCR clusters. These observations are consistent with a dynamic and dissipative coupling between TCR clusters and viscoelastic actin network. 相似文献

We have achieved, for the first time, the selective patterning of centrosomes onto solid substrates. The use of such patterned centrosome arrays as templates for the directed polymerization of microtubules was also demonstrated. Centrosomes are small organelles in animal cells that serve as nucleation and organization centers of microtubules. Directed assembly of microtubules on the patterned centrosome arrays provides a new route to control the positions and directions of microtubules on surfaces. Combining the patterning of the isolated centrosomes and the directed growth of microtubules may lead to the generation of desired microtubule networks for bio-based nanodevices. 相似文献

Cell transfer printing from patterned poly(ethylene glycol)-oleyl surfaces onto biological hydrogel sheets is investigated herein, as a new cell stamping method for both cell microarray and tissue engineering. By overlaying a hydrogel sheet on the cells immobilized on the poly(ethylene glycol)-oleyl surface and successively peeling it off, the immobilized cells were transferred onto a hydrogel sheet because the adhesive interaction between the cells and the hydrogel was stronger than that between the cells and the poly(ethylene glycol)-oleyl surface. Four types of human cell could be efficiently transferred onto a rigid collagen sheet. The transfer printing ratios, for all cells, were above 80% and achieved within 90 min. A cell microarray was successfully prepared on a collagen gel sheet using the present stamping method. We have also demonstrated that the transferred pattern of endothelial cells is transformed to the patterned tube-like structure on the reconstituted basement membrane matrix. Finally, the patterns of two types of endothelial cell are shown to be easily prepared on the matrix, and the desired tube-like structures, including the orderly pattern of the two different cells, were formed spontaneously. Thus, the present poly(ethylene glycol)-oleyl coated substrates are useful for rapid and efficient cell stamping, in the preparation of multi-cellular pattern on extracellular matrices. 相似文献

We studied the feasibility of using halloysite clay nanotubes (HNTs) and
carboxyl-functionalised multi-walled carbon nanotubes (COOH-MWCNTs) as antigen
carriers to improve immune responses against a recombinant LipL32 protein (rLipL32).
Immunisation using the HNTs or COOH-MWCNTs significantly increased the
rLipL32-specific IgG antibody titres (p < 0.05) of Golden Syrian hamsters. None of
the vaccines tested conferred protection against a challenge using a virulent
Leptospira interrogans strain. These results demonstrated that nanotubes can be used
as antigen carriers for delivery in hosts and the induction of a humoral immune
response against purified leptospiral antigens used in subunit vaccine
preparations. 相似文献

Gold nanobelts are of interest in several areas; however, there are only few methods available to produce these belts. We report here on a simple evaporation induced self-assembly (EISA) method to produce porous gold nanobelts with dimensions that scale across nanometer (thickness ~80 nm) and micrometer (width ~20 μm), to decimeter (length ~0.15 m). The gold nanobelts are well packed on the beaker wall and can be easily made to float on the surface of the solution for depositing onto other substrates. Microscopy showed that gold nanobelts had a different structure on the two sides of the belt; the density of gold nanowires on one side was greater than on the other side. Electrical measurements showed that these nanobelts were sensitive to compressive or tensile forces, indicating a potential use as a strain sensor. The patterned nanobelts were further used as a template to grow ZnO nanowires for potential use in applications such as piezo-electronics. 相似文献

Peptide nanostructures are expected to serve as a major tool in future nanotechnological applications owing to their excellent self-assembly properties, biological and chemical flexibility and structural simplicity. Yet one of the limiting factors for the integration of peptide assemblies into functional electro-organic hybrid devices is the controlled patterning of their assemblies. Here we report the use of inkjet technology for the application of peptide nanostructures on nonbiological surfaces. The aromatic dipeptides nanotubes (ADNT) which readily self-assemble in solution were used as an 'ink' and patterned on transparency foil and ITO plastic surfaces using a commercial inkjet printer. While inkjet technology was used in the past for the patterning of carbon nanotubes, it was not used for the deposition of biomolecular nanostructures. Furthermore, during the development of the application we were able to produce two types of nanostructures, i.e. nanotubes and nanospheres by the self-assembly of the same aromatic dipeptide, tertbutoxycarbonyl-Phe-Phe-OH (Boc-Phe-Phe-OH), under different conditions. Both spherical and tubular structures could be efficiently patterned on surfaces into predesigned patterns. The applications of such technology are discussed. 相似文献

Clathrin assembly in vitro produces a highly ordered polyhedral structure (basket). This resembles clathrin assembled in situ on coated pits and vesicles which form during receptor-mediated endocytosis. Sites on clathrin involved in assembly were identified by assembling clathrin in the presence of anti-clathrin monoclonal antibodies. Three of the antibodies, as IgG, prevented the assembly of normal baskets, and their Fab fragments induced formation of two types of novel clathrin structures. Antibody effects on assembly and competitive binding data indicate these antibodies bind to two sites, critical for clathrin interactions, located in the same region of the clathrin heavy chain. Analysis of novel structures formed, suggested that nucleation but not further assembly was occurring, implying an ordered sequence of clathrin interactions during assembly. 相似文献

To date, no consensus exists on the type of crude Plasmodium falciparum Ags to be used in a standard assay for the evaluation of the overall anti-blood-stage immune response in humans. Comparison of the dose-dependent reactivity of using a pool of hyper-immune Senegalese sera to saponin and water schizont extracts of the Senegalese 07/03 isolate indicated similar reactivity on both types of antigen preparations. Water schizont extracts from three different strains of P. falciparum adapted to in vitro culture probed with a panel of specific mouse antisera and monoclonal antibodies reacting with conserved antigens showed similar antigenic content. Seroreactivity of immune individuals living in three different areas of endemicity was assessed in parallel on water crude extracts. The individual IgG, IgM and IgG subclass antibody responses to the various schizont preparations correlated positively. The specific IgM response was higher on the Senegalese schizont extract than on the FCR3 extract and was highest in Dielmo villagers. The IgG response was similar in all three locations and was strain independent. These results indicate that monitoring IgG antibody levels to the widely distributed FCR3 strain using an easily prepared crude lysate might represent a valuable reference ELISA allowing homogenisation and comparison of data from different laboratories. 相似文献

Flagella nanotubes present on the surface of E. coli bacteria were bioengineered to display arginine-lysine and glutamic acid-aspartic acid peptide loops. These protein bionanotubes were demonstrated to self-assemble, layer-by-layer, by atomic force microscopy (AFM) on gold-coated mica and quartz surfaces. Flagella with arginine-lysine loops were assembled in a bottom-up manner on a gold-coated mica surface by employing the molecular complementarity of the biotin-streptavidin interaction. Self-assembled monolayers of alkylamines on the gold surface were derivatized with biotin, followed by binding of streptavidin to the biotinylated surface. The amine groups of the flagella peptide loops were chemically attached to biotin through a polyethyleneoxide spacer and paired with streptavidin on the gold surface. This process could be repeated to generate multiple layers of flagella. Flagella with glutamic acid-aspartic acid peptide loops were self-assembled on quartz surfaces by electrostatic attraction to protonated amine groups. The quartz surface was silanized to obtain amine groups, which were used to assemble the first layer of glutamic acid-aspartic acid peptide loop flagella nanotubes. This layer was covered with polyethyleneimine through electrostatic attraction and employed to assemble a second layer of flagella. The self-assembled glutamic acid-aspartic acid flagella were also used to demonstrate the biomineralization of CaCO 3. The layer-by-layer self-assembly employing electrostatic attraction yielded a more uniform layer of flagella than the one obtained with the molecular complementarity of the biotin-streptavidin pair. 相似文献

Antigen profiles were described for Giardia duodenalis cysts and trophozoites that are recognized by IgG and its anti-G. dudodenalis subclasses (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4). Antigens were identified by Western blot from G. duodenalis cyst and trophozoite isolates. Cysts and trophozoites were each subjected to protein separation by SDS-PAGE. The proteins were then transferred to nitrocellulose membranes by electroimmunoblot, and their antigenicity was determined by exposing them to sera from patients with confirmed diagnosis of G. duodenalis infection. The antigen-antibody reaction was revealed by specific alkaline phosphatase antibody conjugates against IgG, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4: bands were visualized by addition of the substrate 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-phosphate and the stain nitro blue tetrazolium. The bands were read and analyzed by linear regression using Quantity One software. Thirty two antigens were simultaneously recognized by total IgG anti-G. duodenalis in the cyst and trophozoite stages. The antigens varied in molecular weight from 22 to 185 kDa. Nineteen antigens were identified by both IgG, and IgG3 anti-G duodenalis, with molecular weights ranging from 42 to 180 kDa. IgG2 and IgG4 did not identify any antigen in either stage. The antigens of molecular weights 27, 30, 31, 33, 45, 49, 57, 78, 89 and 170 kDa are shared with G. duodenalis isolates from other geographical regions of Colombia. The recognition of cyst and trophozoite antigens of Colombian G. duodenalis isolates by IgG, IgG1 and IgG3 anti-G. duodenalis suggested that they are involved in the induction of the host immune response. 相似文献

Human centromere formation involves the assembly of the mitotic kinetochore onto chromosomal locations that contain the interphase prekinetochore. Immunofluorescent analysis of two functionally converse human centromere variants, neocentromeres and inactive centromeres, has been used to evaluate the functional significance of over 24 CENTROMERE proteins, providing important insight into the epigenetics of centromere formation and kinetochore assembly. 相似文献

There is a large variety of nanomaterials each with unique electronic, optical and sensing properties. However, there is currently no paradigm for integration of different nanomaterials on a single chip in a low-cost high-throughput manner. We present a high throughput integration approach based on spatially controlled dielectrophoresis executed sequentially for each nanomaterial type to realize a scalable array of individually addressable assemblies of graphene, carbon nanotubes, metal oxide nanowires and conductive polymers on a single chip. This is a first time where such a diversity of nanomaterials has been assembled on the same layer in a single chip. The resolution of assembly can range from mesoscale to microscale and is limited only by the size and spacing of the underlying electrodes on chip used for assembly. While many applications are possible, the utility of such an array is demonstrated with an example application of a chemical sensor array for detection of volatile organic compounds below parts-per-million sensitivity. 相似文献

Suspension microsphere immunoassays are rapidly gaining recognition in antigen identification and infectious disease biodetection due to their simplicity, versatility and high-throughput multiplex screening. We demonstrate a multiplex assay based on antibody-functionalized barcoded resins (BCRs) to identify pathogen antigens in complex biological fluids. The binding event of a particular antibody on given bead (fluorescence) and the identification of the specific pathogen agent (vibrational fingerprint of the bead) can be achieved in a dispersive Raman system by exciting the sample with two different laser lines. Anthrax protective antigen, Franciscella tularensis lipopolysaccharide and CD14 antigens were accurately identified and quantified in tetraplex assays with a detection limit of 1 ng/mL. The rapid, versatile and simple analysis enabled by the BCRs demonstrates their potential for multiplex antigen detection and identification in a reconfigurable microarray format. 相似文献

Rabbit antibody IgG was bound onto aminoalkylsilyl or plain glass rods by simple adsorption. For comparison, rabbit antibody IgG was also bound onto glutaraldehyde-activated aminoalkylsilyl glass rods. These antibody-glass rods were tested by the sandwich procedure using Fab' fragments of rabbit antibody conjugated with beta-D-galactosidase from Escherichia coli. The glutaraldehyde-activated aminoalkylsilyl glass showed the largest capacity to bind antigen and the plain glass showed the smallest. However, the antibody-glass rods prepared by simple adsorption were as useful for the sandwich immunoassay of macromolecular antigens as those prepared with glutaraldehyde. With all the antibody-glass rods prepared, 0.1 to 10 fmol of ornithine delta-aminotransferase from rat liver and 2,4-dinitrophenyl human IgG were measurable. More than 10 fmol of the antigens may be measurable with larger amounts of the antibody-beta-D-galactosidase complexes, although the non-specific binding of the complexes to the solid phase increases to limit the sensitivity of the immunoassay. 相似文献
