Label-free Dengue E protein detection using a functionalized tapered optical fiber sensor

Abstract: The surge of Dengue cases around the globe has intensified the demand for a reliable diagnostic method. The work demonstrates, to the best of our knowledge, the first label-free optical based sensor for detection of Dengue II E proteins. This was achieved by utilizing tapered optical fiber that has been functionalized with complementary recombinant antibodies. The fundamental concept of the sensor relies on the interaction between strong evanescent waves resulting from the dimensional change of the fiber and i… Show more

“…Next, the spectrum was pushed further to the right when PAMAM was added and also after the immobilization of anti-DENV II E protein antibodies with a shift of 0.94 nm and 1.04 nm, respectively. The observations stated was mainly due to the increment of cladding refractive index which brought upon the red shift similar to the behavior reported in previous studies 8,25 . This phenomenon can be explained by looking at the transmission equation of a tapered fiber which is defined as 26 :where I 1 and I 2 are light intensities of two modes which couple together as a result of the tapered dimension to produce I .…”

“…The affinity of the sensor towards DENV II E proteins was represented by the dissociation constant value at K d = 1.02 × 10 −10 M; R 2 = 0.99. The value obtained was lower than what was reported in 25 supporting positive enhancement through the integration of PAMAM. One of the obvious factors to this would be the larger surface area and more binding sites on the PAMAM molecules.…”

“…The performance of our SPR sensor is highly dependent on its surface modification, which can cause significant changes in surface mass due to binding events, thus improving its sensing performance. Table 1 presents the performance of other techniques developed for DENV detection, in terms of sensitivity and detection limit [67][68][69][70][71]. From the table, it can be seen that the sensitivity of these techniques has not been extensively evaluated compared to their detection limit.…”

“…The sensing performances also show high specificity with mismatch DNA strands at 100 nM and 10 nM concentrations. Both studies indicate an opportunity for sensing improvement using taper‐based optical fibers which are able to detect DNA and protein at lower concentrations than 10 nM without any gold catalyst .…”
