Summary: Patulin, a low molecular weight mycotoxin, is a global threat to food safety, particularly in fruits and vegetables. Studies have shown its toxicity to animals and humans, and the severity depends on the amount ingested. The maximum daily intake and residue limits for patulin are 0.4 μg/kg body weight and 50 ng/g (equivalent to 320 nM), respectively. Conventional detection methods have drawbacks, leading to research on patulin-specific aptamer-based biosensors with different immobilization methods to increase sensor response using nanomaterials.

Summary: A novel electrochemical immunoassay based on nanobody heptamer for ultrasensitive detection of alpha fetoprotein (AFP) is proposed. The heptamer fusion protein is prepared by fusing the AFP-specific nanobody with the C-terminal fragment of C4-binding protein. This heptamer is used as the recognizing probe to capture AFP and increase the sensitivity of the immunosensor. The combination of AuNPs@ZIF-8@MWCNTs and heptamer technologies constructed an ultrasensitive and specific immunosensor for AFP detection with a low detection limit.

Summary: "Ochratoxin A (OTA), a well-known mycotoxin, poses potential toxic effects on food safety in humans and animals. In this study, a one-step bioluminescent enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (BLEIA) using a nanoluciferase-nanobody fusion protein (Nb28-Nluc) was developed for the detection of OTA in coffee samples. The BLEIA method showed advantages of simplicity, rapidity, and high sensitivity compared to conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. It also exhibited good repeatability and accuracy in spike recovery experiments. Thus, the proposed one-step BLEIA holds great potential for sensitive and accurate screening of OTA in food samples."
