Immunochromatographic strip (ICTS) nanosensors are one of the most popular point-of-care (POC) diagnostic devices currently available for rapid target screening. However, the widely used ICTS sensors based on 20-40 nm gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as labels are limited by their low detection sensitivity due to their relatively weak color intensity. Moreover, the ever-increasing demand for high sensitivity is restricting the application of conventional AuNP-based ICTS methods. Improving the color signal intensity of AuNP nanoprobes can theoretically overcome the limitations encountered by traditional ICTS assays. In recent years, the design of various improved strategies for the enhanced detection sensitivity of ICTSs has received increasing interest. In this review, we systematically summarize the emerging amplification strategies used to enhance the detection sensitivity of conventional AuNP-based ICTS nanosensors. These strategies include 1) signal enhancement mediated by nanoparticle accumulation, 2) signal amplification induced by noble metal nanoparticle growth, 3) signal enhancement based on enzyme-mediated colored product deposition, and 4) signal amplification assisted by nanoparticle flow rate regulation on strips. Representative examples are selected to demonstrate the proof-of-concept and their potential applications in biosensing. The study focuses on elaborating the underlying mechanisms of each strategy for the enhanced colorimetric signal intensity of AuNPs on the test regions of a strip. Finally, we briefly discuss the current limitations and future perspectives in this field. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Bifunctional M13 Phage as Enzyme Container for the Reinforced Colorimetric-Photothermal Dual-Modal Sensing of Ochratoxin A

Weipeng Tong, Hanpeng Xiong, Hao Fang, Yuhao Wu, Haichuan Li, Xiaolin Huang, Yuankui Leng, Yonghua Xiong

Summary: In order to achieve high-throughput analysis of mycotoxins, there is a great need for point-of-care (POC) methods that do not require expensive instruments or specialized technicians. The conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which is widely used for screening, has low sensitivity and is affected by competing antigens. In this study, we developed a plasmonic-photothermal ELISA that uses color-temperature dual-modal signals for highly sensitive detection of ochratoxin A (OTA), with the signal amplified by a bifunctional M13 phage. Under optimal conditions, the colorimetric and photothermal signals showed good dynamic linearity for quantitative OTA detection, with detection limits of 12.1 and 8.6 pg mL(-1), respectively. Additionally, the proposed ELISA could be visually determined with a cutoff limit of 78 pg mL(-1) based on a distinct color change from deep blue to red. The method also showed high accuracy and robustness when applied to OTA-spiked corn samples. Overall, this strategy provides a promising method for eco-friendly and sensitive POC screening of OTA, and can be easily adapted for other analytes by changing the specific mimotope sequence.

Avoiding the self-nucleation interference: a pH-regulated gold in situ growth strategy to enable ultrasensitive immunochromatographic diagnostics

Hong Duan, Tongtong Ma, Xiaolin Huang, Bao Gao, Lingyan Zheng, Xirui Chen, Yonghua Xiong, Xiaoyuan Chen

Summary: This study presents a pH-regulated gold in situ growth (GISG) strategy to amplify the colorimetric signal and improve the performance of traditional gold nanoparticle-based immunochromatographic assay (AuNP-ICA). By lowering the pH of the growth solution, the reducibility of hydroxylamine is weakened, resulting in the crystallization and growth of Au3+ on the AuNP surface instead of self-nucleation. The proposed GISG strategy shows improved sensitivity, low background, robust operation, and good reproducibility. It has the potential to enable ultrasensitive and rapid diagnosis of viral infections and redefine immunochromatographic diagnostics.
