中文摘要 即時性檢測SARS-CoV-2冠狀病毒的抗原對驗證是否感染對控制COVID-19疫情有急迫性的需求。本研究以免標定式電化學阻抗分析(electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, EIS)技術結合鍍金奈米結構之網板印碳電極(AuNS/SPCE)開發能在唾液中檢測SARS-CoV-2核殼蛋白(nucleocapsid protein, N-protein)的免疫感測器 使用短鏈的3-mercaptopropionic acid為自組裝薄膜,再將streptavidin bovine serum albumin 共價鍵結其上,隨後可將biotinylated anti-N-protein antibody吸附在此感測膜上,以製作免疫感測器。該感測器具有低的檢測極限(6 pg/mL),以及良好線性範圍在0.01 ng/mL-100 ng/mL。與MERS-CoV N-protein, influenza A N-protein, influenza B N-protein SARS-CoV-2 spike protein之間具有低的交叉反應活性,顯示具有高的專一性。該感測器在健康志願者口水中亦能檢測到6 pg/mL N-protein檢測極限。本研究顯示該拋棄式EIS免疫感測器具有潛力能對唾液中COVID-19進行快速與靈敏的診斷。
英文摘要 The timely detecting of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus antigens for infection validation is an urgent request for COVID-19 pandemic control. This study constructed label-free electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)-based immunosensors based on gold nanostructured screen-printed carbon electrodes (AuNS/SPCEs) to detect the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (N-protein) in saliva. Using short-chain 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) as a linker to covalently bond streptavidin (SA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) for controlling the oriented immobilization of the biotinylated anti-N-protein antibody (BioAb) can offer a greater sensitivity, a lower limit of detection (LOD), and better reproducibility of immunosensors (defined as BioAb/SA-BSA/MPA/AuNS/SPCEs) than the antibody randomly immobilized immunosensors and the long-chain 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA)-modified immunosensors (BioAb/SA-BSA/MUA/AuNS/SPCEs). The BioAb/SA-BSA/MPA/AuNS/SPCE-based immunosensors presented good linearity from 0.01 ng/mL to 100 ng/mL and a low LOD of 6 pg/mL in a phosphate buffer solution (PBS) and PBS-diluted saliva. Moreover, the immunosensor exhibited little cross-activity with other viral antigens such as MERS-CoV N-protein, influenza A N-protein, influenza B N-protein, and SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, indicating the high specificity of the immunosensors. The disposable label-free EIS-based immunosensors have promising potential in facilitating the rapid and sensitive tests of saliva-based COVID-19 diagnostics.
