Fluorescent-Magnetic-Catalytic Nanospheres for Dual-Modality Detection of H9N2 Avian Influenza Virus

Abstract

The outbreak of H9N2 avian influenza virus (H9N2 AIV) brings high mortality and huge economic losses every year. Sensitive and reliable detection methods are essential to timely diagnosis and treatment. Herein, a dual-modality immunoassay is proposed for H9N2 AIV detection by employing fluorescent-magnetic-catalytic nanospheres (FMCNs) as labels and alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-induced metallization as a signal amplification strategy. The excellent magnetic properties of FMCNs endow the assay a potential application in complex samples. Also, the excellent fluorescence properties of FMCNs enable fluorescence modality readout. The antibodies on the FMCN surface can achieve efficient capture and separation of targets. Amplified electrochemical modality readout can be obtained through ALP-catalyzed silver deposition. Dual-modality immunoassay combined the advantages of electrochemical assay with fluorescence assay and provides accurate detection results to meet different testing needs. With two quantitative analysis forms, H9N2 AIV can be detected by electrochemical signals with a quantitation range of 0.1 to 1000 ng/mL and a detection limit of 10 pg/mL. The linear range is 300 to 1000 ng/mL with a detection limit of 69.8 ng/mL by the fluorescence signal readout. Moreover, the specificity, anti-interference ability, accuracy, and diversity of the proposal have unlimited potential for early diagnosis of suspect infections.

Betanodavirus and VER Disease: A 30-year Research Review

“…Despite all the significant progress achieved in NNV detection over the last few years, recent advances linked to the use of nanotechnology, already reported in human and animal viruses [298][299][300][301][302][303][304][305][306], could provide a substantial improvement in these diagnostics in the near future. Different nanostructures are available at present, such as nanoparticles (NP), carbon nanotubes (CNT), dendrimers, and quantum dots (QDs) among others, and can be applied to the identification of nucleic acids, proteins and viral particles as well as antibodies [307,308].…”

Rapid Enrichment and Ultrasensitive Detection of Influenza A Virus in Human Specimen using Magnetic Quantum Dot Nanobeads Based Test Strips

“…The hysteresis curves of these magnetic particles were measured ( Fig. 2 C) and showed that the saturation magnetization decreased from 83.7 to 57.7 emu/g after the assembly, which was still much higher than some other reported magnetic nanospheres with virus-capturing function [ 28 , 29 ]. The synthesized MQBs can complete magnetic aggregation in 30 seconds in the magnetic field provided by a rubidium magnet ( Fig.…”

Review on the contamination of wastewater by COVID-19 virus: Impact and treatment

“…As the viral concentration is relatively low in a patient sample, the detection limit is of paramount importance. LOC devices appear to have the lowest detection limits, making them most immediately relevant for this application ( Qiu et al, 2020 ; Peng et al, 2019 ; Kaarj et al, 2018 ; Seo et al, 2020 ).…”
