Wide dynamic range of surface‐plasmon‐resonance‐based assay for hepatitis B surface antigen antibody optimal detection in comparison with ELISA

Abstract

Limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification, and the dynamic range of detection of hepatitis B surface antigen antibody (anti-HBs) using a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) chip-based approach with Pichia pastoris-derived recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) as recognition element were established through the scouting for optimal conditions for the improvement of immobilization efficiency and in the use of optimal regeneration buffer. Recombinant HBsAg was immobilized onto the sensor surface of a CM5 chip at a concentration of 150 mg/L in sodium acetate buffer at pH 4 with added 0.6% Triton X-100. A regeneration solution of 20 mM HCl was optimally found to effectively unbind analytes from the ligand, thus allowing for multiple screening cycles. A dynamic range of detection of ∼0.00098-0.25 mg/L was obtained, and a sevenfold higher LOD, as well as a twofold increase in coefficient of variance of the replicated results, was shown as compared with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Evaluation of the assay for specificity showed no cross-reactivity with other antibodies tested. The ability of SPR chip-based assay and ELISA to detect anti-HBs in human serum was comparable, indicating that the SPR chip-based assay with its multiple screening capacity has greater advantage over ELISA.

Acute Effects of High Intensity, Resistance, or Combined Protocol on the Increase of Level of Neurotrophic Factors in Physically Inactive Overweight Adults: The BrainFit Study

“…Interestingly, despite this evidence, there are few clinical trials that have directly evaluated the effects of sustained exercise regimens on the brain health of inactive adults (Saucedo-Marquez et al, 2015 ; Church et al, 2016 ; Barha et al, 2017 ; Dinoff et al, 2017 ). The strategy immobilized antibodies onto sensor surfaces for quantification of protein using biosensors, which is more accurate and fast compared to traditional assays (Heinrich et al, 2010 ; Wöllner et al, 2010 ; Hu et al, 2013 ; Tam et al, 2017 ). The determination of levels of neurotrophins is usually performed by ELISA immunoassays; however, the use of biosensors opens a new possibility in obtaining results in real time, label free with a high sensitivity and specificity.…”

Label-Free Quantification of Anti-TNF-α in Patients Treated with Adalimumab Using an Optical Biosensor

“…Our results agreed with that reported in the literature stating that plasma and serum samples produce instrumental background noise [ 75 ]. However, using a reference channel in SPR-based assays helps in correcting non-specific adsorptions and compensating for refraction index differences [ 76 ]. An mAb-anti-TNF-α positive control was used for ensuring that Humira drug excipients did not cause antibody noise in interactions, unlike adalimumab.…”

An Alternative Medical Diagnosis Method: Biosensors for Virus Detection

“…In addition, Tam et al investigated the detection of hepatitis B surface antigen antibody ability using a surface plasmon resonance biosensor [90]. They obtained a linear performance in a range of 0.00098–0.25 mg/L, and a seven-fold higher limit of detection value, that a two-fold increase in the coefficient of variance of the replicated results, as compared with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.…”
