The detection of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is crucial for preventing and controlling infectious diseases and disease treatment. In this work, a Au@Ti 3 C 2 @PEI-Ru(dcbpy) 3 2+ nanocomposite-based electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor was rationally designed, which realized sensitive detection of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene of SARS-CoV-2. In addition, a DNA walker was also used to excise the hairpin DNAs under the action of Nb.BbvCI endonuclease. Furthermore, model DNA−Ag nanoclusters (model DNA−AgNCs) were used to quench the initial ECL signal. As a result, the ECL biosensor was used to sensitively detect the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene with a detection range of 1 fM to 100 pM and a limit of detection of 0.21 fM. It was indicated that the ECL biosensor had a great application potential for clinical medical detection. Furthermore, the DNA walker amplification also played a reliable candidate strategy for other detection methods.
In this work, we constructed an exonuclease III cleavage reaction-based isothermal amplification of nucleic acids with CRISPR/Cas12a-mediated pH-induced regenerative Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for ultrasensitive and specific detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acids for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis. The triple-stranded nucleic acid in this biosensor has an extreme dependence on pH, which makes our constructed biosensor reproducible. This is essential for effective large-scale screening of SARS-CoV-2 in areas where resources are currently relatively scarce. Using this pH-induced regenerative biosensor, we detected the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene with a detection limit of 43.70 aM. In addition, the detection system has good stability and reproducibility, and we expect that this method may provide a potential platform for the diagnosis of COVID-19.
In
this work, we fabricated a dual-wavelength electrochemiluminescence
ratiometric biosensor based on electrochemiluminescent resonance energy
transfer (ECL-RET). In this biosensor, Au nanoparticle-loaded graphitic
phase carbon nitride (Au-g-C3N4) as a donor
and Au-modified dimethylthiodiaminoterephthalate (TAT) analogue (Au@TAT)
as an acceptor were investigated for the first time. Besides, tetrahedron
DNA probe was immobilized onto Au-g-C3N4 to
improve the binding efficiency of the transcription factor and ECL
ratiometric changes on the basis of the ratio of ECL intensities at
595 and 460 nm, which were obtained through the formation of a sandwich
structure of DNA probe–antigen–antibody. Our biosensor
achieved the assay of NF-κB p50 with a detection limit of 5.8
pM as well as high stability and specificity.
Fast and effective detection of epidemics is the key to preventing the spread of diseases. In this work, we constructed a dual-wavelength ratiometric electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor based on entropy-driven and bipedal DNA walker cycle amplification strategies for detection of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The entropy-driven cyclic amplification reaction was started by the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene to generate a bandage. The bandage could combine with two other single-stranded S1 and S2 to form a bipedal DNA walker to create the following cycle reaction. After the bipedal DNA walker completed the walking process, the hairpin structures at the top of the DNA tetrahedrons (TDNAs) were removed. Subsequently, the PEI-Ru@Ti

, and the signal change was realized employing electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET). By combining entropy-driven and DNA walker cycle amplification strategy, the ratiometric ECL biosensor exhibited a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 7.8 aM for the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene. As a result, Detecting the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp gene in human serum still possessed high recovery so that the dual-wavelength ratiometer biosensor could be used in early clinical diagnosis.
Herein, we apply electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) based method employing diaminoterephthalate analogue as ECL emitter and hairpin DNA as amplification strategy, for sensitive assay of transcription factors.
