Zusammenfassung:A functionalized gold nanoparticle (GNP) enhanced ultrasensitive immuno-PCR assay (GNP-IPCR on ELISA plate), which was modified from the recent developed bio-barcode assay (BCA) technique, was developed to detect Hantaan virus nucleocapsid protein (HNP). During the assay, the target antigen HNP was captured by a polyclonal antibody coated on ELISA microplate wells, followed by adding GNP dually modified with oligonucleotides and a HNP specific monoclonal antibody L13 (mAb L13) to form a sandwich immuno-complex. The oligonucleotides on the GNP contained two strands: one as capture DNA immobilized on the surface of the GNP through Au–S bond and the other as signal amplification DNA, which was partially complementary with the capture DNA. After the immuno-complex was formed, the signal DNA was released by heating, and consequently characterized by PCR/gel electrophoresis and SYBR-Green real time PCR. The detection limit of this method could reach down to 10 fg/mL for detecting purified HNP in buffers as well as in human serum, which was ~ 7 orders of magnitude more sensitive than that of conventional ELISA. The current assay format might be adopted for other proteins that need ultra-high sensitive detection.
