ImmunosensorAntibodies for immunosensors a review
Abstract
Immunosensors (ISs) are miniaturized measuring devices, which selectively detect their targets by means of antibodies (Abs) and provide concentration-dependent signals. Ab binding leads to a variation in optical properties, electric charge, mass, or heat, which can be detected directly or indirectly by a variety of transducers. The quality of ISs primarily depends upon the selectivity and affinity of the Abs used in the receptor unit. Since sensitivity is directly related to the affinity of the ligand binding, reversibility excludes high sensitivity. Consequently, detection units for single-use and quasi-continuous measuring devices are presently preferred. An important future development is seen in the field of multianalyte sensors. The most attractive application is based on Abs with sufficiently different cross-reactivities. The response pattern provides information on the presence and concentration of structurally similar analytes, as they are found for instance in pesticide groups such as the s-triazines. It is obvious that this development will be significantly accelerated by applying recombinant techniques for Ab production. The next step is directed toward the generation of recombinant Ab libraries, which will provide a huge repertoire, generated at the DNA level, for new Ab types.

Recent update on biomimetic sensor technology for cancer diagnosis
2024, Talanta OpenBiomimetic sensors are devices that replicate biological receptors and enzymes with extraordinary accuracy and sensitivity by taking their cues from nature's effective mechanisms. They enable quick diagnosis and better treatment options by providing non-invasive detection of cancer-specific biomarkers in physiological fluids. This review addresses numerous optical and electronic biomimetic sensor types and emphasizes the benefits of their usage in cancer diagnostics. Some of the recognition components used in biomimetic sensors are aptamers, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), and immunomimetic sensors. The widespread use of biomimetic sensors for cancer diagnostics has promise despite obstacles like specificity and cost-effectiveness. The use of wearable technology and artificial intelligence improves individualized cancer management even further. The overall objective of this review is to comprehensively explore the field of biomimetics sensors in the context of cancer diagnostics, highlighting their various types and recognition components and to emphasize on the significant benefits of biomimetics sensors, such as their accuracy and sensitivity, in enabling non-invasive detection of cancer-specific biomarkers. Overall, biomimetic sensors are a revolutionary development that advances our understanding of early cancer detection, improved patient outcomes, and enhanced healthcare.
A review on solution- and vapor-responsive sensors for the detection of phthalates
2023, Analytica Chimica ActaPhthalic acid esters, largely referred to as phthalates, are today acknowledged as important pollutants used in the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-based plastics, whose use extends to almost every aspect of modern life. The risk of exposure to phthalates is particularly relevant as high concentrations are regularly found in drinking water, food-contact materials and medical devices, motivating an immense body of research devoted to methods for their detection in liquid samples. Conversely, phthalate vapors have only recently been acknowledged as potentially important atmospheric pollutants and as early fire indicators; additionally, deposition of these vapors can pose significant problems to the proper functioning of spacecraft and diverse on-board devices, leading to major space agencies recognizing the need of developing vapor-responsive phthalate sensors. In this manuscript we present a literature survey on solution- and vapor-responsive sensors and analytical assays for the detection of phthalates, providing a detailed analysis of a vast array of analytical data to offer a clear idea on the analytical performance (limits of detection and quantification, linear range) and advantages provided by each class of sensor covered in this review (electrochemical, optical and vapor-responsive) in the context of their potential real-life applications; the manuscript also gives detailed fundamental information on the various physicochemical responses exploited by these sensors and assays that could potentially be harnessed by new researchers entering the field.
Diagnostic approaches for the rapid detection of Zika virus–A review
2021, Process BiochemistryMosquito-borne flavivirus is associated with the zika virus (ZIKV) which is the attention of numerous public health hazards & enduring epidemic for many years and was first identified in 1947. Formerly partial to sporadic cases in Asia & Africa but in Brazil, the zika virus appearance in 2015 indicated fast spreading all over Americans. It has been acknowledged as a global public health emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2016. Symptoms normally appear as mild-influenza, neurological signs, and subclinical manifestations with the syndrome of microcephaly in offspring that are born from infected mothers & Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) in adults. There is no cure or effective Zika Virus treatment known to date. Easy and efficient detection of the zika virus can reduce the risk of sickness and the successful management of this disease. Conventional techniques currently available are focused on clinical manifestation, along with molecular and serological detection tools that can identify the zika virus but due to their various disadvantages such as low specificity and sensitivity, there is a need for a quick and easy approach for the diagnosis of zika virus. Scientists are showing great interest in an effective portable and simple detection method to diagnose the Zika virus. Biosensor is considered a viable advanced system that can meet all the aforementioned demands. Biosensors are combined with an effortless approach to allow them for exploiting in various applications. This review summarizes the diagnosis, surveillance, and advancement in sensing technology for easy and successful detection of Zika virus and its usage as a fast and rapid analytical tool.

2016, Environment InternationalToxicity assessment of water streams, wastewater, and contaminated sediments, is a very important part of environmental pollution monitoring. Evaluation of biological effects using a rapid, sensitive and cost effective method can indicate specific information on ecotoxicity assessment. Recently, different biological assays for toxicity assessment based on higher and lower organisms such as fish, invertebrates, plants and algal cells, and microbial bioassays have been used. This review focuses on microbial biosensors as an analytical device for environmental, food, and biomedical applications. Different techniques which are commonly used in microbial biosensing include amperometry, potentiometry, conductometry, voltammetry, microbial fuel cells, fluorescence, bioluminescence, and colorimetry. Examples of the use of different microbial biosensors in assessing a variety of environments are summarized.
Immobilization of immunoglobulin-G-binding domain of Protein A on a gold surface modified with biotin ligase
2015, Analytical BiochemistryProtein A from Staphylococcus aureus specifically binds to the Fc region of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and is widely used as a scaffold for the immobilization of IgG antibodies on solid supports. It is known that the oriented immobilization of Protein A on solid supports enhances its antibody-binding capability in comparison with immobilization in a random manner. In the current work, we developed a novel method for the oriented immobilization of the IgG-binding domain of Protein A based on the biotinylation reaction from archaeon Sulfolobus tokodaii. Biotinylation from S. tokodaii has a unique property in that the enzyme, biotin protein ligase (BPL), forms a stable complex with its biotinylated substrate protein, biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP). Here, BCCP was fused to the IgG-binding domain of Protein A, and the resulting fusion protein was immobilized on the BPL-modified gold surface of the sensor chip for quartz crystal microbalance through complexation between BCCP and BPL. The layer of the IgG-binding domain prepared in this way successfully captured the antibody, and the captured antibody retained high antigen-binding capability.
