Aflatoxins are a group of fungal toxic metabolites, which are contaminated certain food commodities. ELISA is one of the sensitive methods for detection of aflatoxins. Preparation and stabilizing of a proper conjugated tracer for detection of aflatoxins is probably the main step for designing an ELISA method. In current study, different stabilizers were applied to stabilize a newly prepared con...

The use of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as labeling carriers in combination with the enzymatic activity of the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in order to achieve an improved optical lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) performance is presented here. Briefly in a LFIA with an immune-sandwich format AuNPs are functionalized with a detection antibody already modified with HRP, obtaining an 'enhanced' label...

A flow injection chemiluminescence immunoassay for rapid and sensitive detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) by using a phenylboronic acid-based immunoaffinity column as a glycoprotein collector was proposed in this paper. The column was prepared by coupling of 3-aminophenylboronic acid on the glass beads through a γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPMS) linkage. Based on an indirect com...

A highly sensitive colorimetric metalloimmunoassay with a detection limit of 0.15 ng ml(-1) for human IgG based on copper-mediated etching of gold nanorods was proposed. The assay is more sensitive than traditional ELISA, electrochemical metalloimmunoassay and HRP mimic nanomaterial tag-based immunoassay.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to devise a novel electrochemical immunosensor for ultrasensitive detection of alfa-fetoprotein based on Fe(3)O(4)/Au nanoparticles as a carrier using a multienzyme amplification strategy. METHODS AND RESULTS Greatly enhanced sensitivity was achieved using bioconjugates containing horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and a secondary antibody (Ab(2)) linked to ...

A natural product, stilbene glycoside (2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxydiphenylethylene-2-O-glucoside, TBG), has been evaluated for the first time as a potential substrate for horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-catalyzed fluorogenic reactions. The properties of TBG as a fluorogenic substrate for HRP and its application in a fluorometric enzyme-linked immunosensing system were compared with commercially availabl...

The development and validation of a novel enhanced chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA) with excellent sensitivity for the quantification monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) used immunotherapy cancer are described in this paper first time. 96-microwell plates were assay procedures, which involved non-competitive binding reaction to specific antigen. immune complex antigen-mAb formed on interna...

A sensitive chemiluminescence (CL) imaging immunoassay method for detection of multiple tumor markers with high throughput, easy operation, and low cost was developed. The immunosensor array was prepared by covalently immobilizing capture antibodies on corresponding sensing sites on a silanized disposable glass chip. Gold nanoparticle-based bioconjugates with a high molar ratio of horseradish p...

This study describes the employment of a novel imidazole-substituted phenol [4-(1-imidazolyl)phenol] as a highly potent signal enhancer in a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)–luminol chemiluminescence (CL) immunoassay. This competitive-type immunoassay for the model antigen fentanyl is based on the use of fentanyl polyclonal antibody immobilized on white microtiter plates and a biotinylated bovine s...
