Quantum-Dot-Based Immunochromatographic Assay for Total IgE in Human Serum
نویسندگان
چکیده
To rapidly quantify total immunoglobulin E levels in human serum, we developed a novel quantum-dot-based immunochromatographic assay that employs digital recording of fluorescence. It can detect IgE levels of 5-1000 kU/L, with a coefficient of variation ranging from 2.0 to 9.5%. The assay can be processed in 10 min. The developed assay was tested on 95 serum samples. The correlation coefficient between the IgE values obtained by the proposed assay and those obtained by a commercial ELISA kit was 0.9884. Our assay thus shows promise as a new diagnostic tool for IgE detection.

Immunochromatographic Assay for Ultrasensitive Detection of Aflatoxin B1 in Maize by Highly Luminescent Quantum Dot Beads
Highly luminescent quantum dot beads (QBs) were synthesized by encapsulating CdSe/ZnS and used for the first time as immunochromatographic assay (ICA) signal amplification probe for ultrasensitive detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in maize. The challenges to using high brightness QBs as probes for ICA are smooth flow of QBs and nonspecific binding on nitrocellulose (NC) membrane, which are overc...

Background and purpose: Candida albicans (C. albicans) as a micro flora of the human could be responsible for a continuous release of allergen and may be responsible for chronic atopic dermatitis (AD) in sensitive patients. Thus, in this study, we analyzed AD patients for total IgE and specific IgE, against C. albicans. Materials and Methods: A total of 120 AD patients (male 52 and female ...

A selective aptasensor was developed using the electrochemical transduction method for the ultrasensitive detection of cocaine. In this method, dendrimer-quantum dot (Den-QD) bioconjugate was utilized as a specific nanocomposite to efficiently fabricate the aptasensor. CdTe QD, which carries highly significant properties, was immobilized on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), and po...
