Trametes robiniophila Murr. (Huaier) is a mushroom with a long history of use as a medicinal ingredient in China and exhibits good clinical efficacy in cancer management. However, the antitumor components of Huaier and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we isolated a proteoglycan with a molecular mass of ∼5.59 × 104 Da from Huaier aqueous extract. We named this proteoglycan TPG-1, and using FTIR and additional biochemical analyses, we determined that its total carbohydrate and protein compositions are 43.9 and 41.2%, respectively. Using biochemical assays and immunoblotting, we found that exposing murine RAW264.7 macrophages to TPG-1 promotes the production of nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) through Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-dependent activation of NF-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling. Of note, the TPG-1 treatment significantly inhibited the tumorigenesis of human hepatoma HepG2 cells likely at least in part by increasing serum levels of TNFα and promoting leukocyte infiltration into tumors in nude mice. TPG-1 also exhibited good antitumor activity in hepatoma H22-bearing mice and had no obvious adverse effects in these mice. We conclude that TPG-1 exerts antitumor activity partially through an immune-potentiating effect due to activation of the TLR4–NF-κB/MAPK signaling cassette. Therefore, TPG-1 may be a promising candidate drug for cancer immunotherapy. This study has identified the TPG-1 proteoglycan as an antitumor agent and provided insights into TPG-1’s molecular mechanism, suggesting a potential utility for applying this agent in cancer therapy.

Tebuconazole is widely applied for controlling pathogenic fungi of crops and proved hazardous to human being. To better measure tebuconazole residues, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for screening tebuconazole residues in aqueous samples was established using an innovative hapten (hapten1) designed via molecular model. The work concentration of calibration standard curves based on aqueous matrices ranged from 0.51 to 10.71 ng mL–1. The cross-reactivities of other analogs were less than 6%. The detection limits of the assay were in the range of 0.197–0.297 ng mL–1 for tebuconazole in water samples. The average recoveries of tebuconazole in the spiked water samples varied from 76.76% to 107.52% with the variation coefficient scope of 4.54–13.26%. The obtained immunoassay was verified by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry with high correlation coefficients (r > 0.9868). Herein, the proposed immunoassay offers a cost-effective, convenient, reliable tool for the determination of tebuconazole residues in aqueous samples.

Histamine (HA) is an essential test item for fishery samples. However, the fast and effective determination of HA is difficult due to its simple structure and small molecular size. In this study, a sensitive and specific monoclonal antibody against p-nitrobenzoylated histamine (NPHA), which can be easily obtained from the reaction of HA and p-nitrobenzoic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (PNBA-OSu) under mild conditions, was generated for the first time. Based on this mAb, an immunochromato-graphic assay strip (ICA strip) using a colloidal gold nano particles-antibody (GNPs) probe for rapid detection of HA in saury samples was established. After screening the coating antigens and optimization of analytical parameters, a heterologous coating based ICA strip exhibited the most excellent detection ability with a visual detection limit (VDL) of 6.0 mg kg−1 in qualitative experiments and a detection limit (by a strip reader) of 1.0 mg kg−1 in semi-quantitative experiments for saury samples, with no cross-reactivity with HA analogs. Good correlation between the ICA strip with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was achieved for spiked and naturally contaminated saury samples. Overall, this method is suitable for screening of HA residue for large scale fish samples in a quick, simple and low-cost manner.

In this work, a rapid, convenient and sensitive Au nanoparticle-based immunochromatographic sensor (AuNPs-ICS) for simultaneous detection of various tadalafil adulterants in health food was established for the first time, based on one high affinity and broad-spectrum antibody through skeleton-specific hapten design according to the common structure of tadalafil drugs. This immunochromatographic sensor was developed by the polyclonal antibody conjugated with AuNPs and the IC50 was 10.04 ng mL−1 for tadalafil and 9.55, 11.46, 17.01 ng mL−1 for amino tadalafil, acetamino tadalafil and nortadalafil, respectively. The limit of detection results could be obtained visually by naked eyes for and computationally by the hand-held immunochromatography reader. The sensor could specially detect Tadalafil and its analogs within 10 min in health food samples, and the close correlation with UPLC-MS/MS method showed the sensor was accurate and reliable, which could apply to on site detection Tadalafil and its analogs rapidly and accurately.

In this study, a heterologous competitive indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ciELISA) for the determination of estriol (E3) in milk was developed. Rabbit polyclonal antibody specific for E3 was raised by introducing a carboxyl spacer arm from bromoacetic acid of E3 as immunizing hapten. A heterologous ciELISA using a coating hapten containing a carboxyl spacer arm from 6-ketoestriol of E3. The assay exhibited the required sensitivity for detection of E3 with limit of detection of 0.07 ng mL−1 and a working range from 0.41 ng mL−1 to 15.78 ng mL−1. Good recoveries were obtained ranging from 83.2% to 125.8% for E3 spiked milk samples. A satisfactory correlation (R2 = 0.994) between the results of ciELISA analysis and that of LC–MS/MS analysis indicated good accuracy and reproducibility of the proposed method, which was ideally suited as a rapid screening tool for routine E3 monitoring.

Shrimp tropomyosin is one of the most important causes of shellfish allergy. The objective of this study was to develop a highly sensitive and specific immunoassay for the detection of shrimp tropomyosin in food. Ten monoclonal antibodies against shrimp tropomyosin were obtained by fusion and cell screening. We found two optimum monoclonal antibodies (mAbs); mAb 2 was used as the capture antibody, and HRP-labelled mAb 3 was used as the detection antibody. Using this pair of mAbs, a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed with the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.45 ng/mL. Cross-reactivity with other food allergens using this method was found to be negligible. An immunochromatographic assay strip was also developed for the rapid detection of shrimp tropomyosin with the LOD of 0.5 ng/mL. The results demonstrated that our developmental methods represent a useful tool for the detection of shrimp tropomyosin in food.

The amplification of the electrochemical signal is crucial to improving the sensing performance of an immunosensor. In this study, a signal amplification strategy based on the co-catalysis of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and nanoporous gold (NPG) was used to fabricate an electrochemical immunosensor for the determination of Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg). For the resulting immunosensor, HRP catalyzed catechol and thus served as a signal label of secondary antibody. NPG with unique properties was selected as a carrier for capture antibody immobilization. Further, NPG had an efficient electrocatalytic activity towards catechol (the substrate of HRP), which thus significantly enhanced the electrochemical signal produced by the HRP-labeled secondary antibody. Based on the co-catalysis of HRP and NPG, the immunosensor exhibited a good linear relationship between peak current density and HBeAg concentration in a wide HBeAg detection range from 1 pg mL −1 to 1 ng mL −1 with a high sensitivity of 23.51 μA mL ng −1 cm −2 as well as a low detection limit of 0.064 pg mL −1 (S/N = 3). Additionally, the immunosensor presented a strong anti-interference capability against human serum, human serum/dopamine, human serum/tryptophan, human serum/NO 2 − , human serum/D-glucose, and human serum/IgG. For the detection of HBeAg in human serum, the concentrations detected by the immunosensor were in good agreement with the standard concentrations that added in the human serum samples. These unique properties potentially make the proposed immunosensor a good choice for HBeAg detection.

Sulfamethazine (SMZ), widely used for disease prevention of bees, is harmful to consumers when excess SMZ residues are present in honey. In this study, a novel competitive lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) was established by using aggregation-induced emission fluorescent microsphere (AIEFM) as label for the detection of SMZ. Results indicated that the limit of detection (LOD) for the developed competitive AIEFM-LFIA in honey was 0.028 ng/mL, and the corresponding linear range was 0.05−5 ng/mL. Recovery experiments showed that the average recovery range was 75.6–95.1% with coefficient variations of 5.7–12.9% in honey. The developed competitive AIEFM-LFIA was compatible with HPLC-MS/MS in detecting SMZ in 15 real samples from honey. In general, the proposed AIEFM-LFIA is well suited for the competitive format and has great potential for the detection of other small targets with single antigenic site in practical application.

In this work, a simple electrochemical immunosensor was developed for the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) based on rhombic dodecahedral Cu 2 O nanocrystals–graphene oxide–gold nanoparticles (rCu 2 O–GO–AuNPs). GO as the template and surfactant resulting in rCu 2 O exhibit improved rhombic dodecahedral structure uniformity and excellent electrochemical performance. Moreover, GO was found to be able to effectively improve the long stability of rCu 2 O on the electrode response . Under optimal conditions, the immunosensor showed a low limit of detection (0.004 ng ml −1 ) and a large linear range (0.01–120 ng ml −1 ). This work presents a potential alternative for the diagnostic applications of GO-supported special morphology materials in biomedicine and biosensors.

The present work is aimed to improve the antibody adsorption performance of phenyl-based mixed-mode adsorbents by adjusting the functional group of ligand. Two new mixed-mode adsorbents coupled with 4-(aminomethyl)phenol (AMP) and 4-(aminomethyl)benzonic acid (AMA) were designed based on the structure of benzylamine (BA), where a hydroxyl or carboxyl group was introduced. Bovine serum Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were used as the model proteins. The adsorption isotherms of IgG and BSA were investigated at different pH values ranging from 4.0–8.9 to evaluate the adsorption performance, and protein-ligand molecular interactions were explored through addition of sodium chloride and glycerol. The results showed that both of adsorbents coupled with AMP or AMA had lower saturated binding capacities ( Q m ) towards BSA and higher adsorption capacity ratio of IgG to BSA when compared to BA-based adsorbents. The contributions of electrostatic interactions and hydrophobic interactions to proteins binding were different among these phenyl-based mixed mode adsorbents. Finally, AMP-based adsorbent possessing high adsorption capacity ratio of IgG to BSA and salt tolerance was selected to separate IgG from mimetic serum with purity higher than 96 %. The results indicated adjusting the functional groups of ligand to regulate the electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions of protein-ligand was useful to improve the antibody separation performance of mixed-mode adsorbents.

The rapid and sensitive detecting technique for subgroup J of avian leukosis viruses (ALVs-J) needs to be developed as soon as possible in order to not only reduce economic losses but also ensure the food safety. In this paper, a novel electrochemical immunosensor was built based on mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride (mpg-C 3 N 4 ). Mpg-C 3 N 4 was used as the sensor platform to bond with the primary antibodies (Ab 1 ). The compound of thionine and mpg-C 3 N 4 (Th-mpg-C 3 N 4 ) was synthesized for the first time to serve as the electroactive probe as well as the carrier of secondary antibodies (Ab 2 ). Compared to bulk g-C 3 N 4 , mpg-C 3 N 4 possesses larger specific surface area, smaller electrochemical resistance and abundant active sites. So the proposed electrochemical immunosensor exhibited amplified detective signals which realized the sensitive detection of ALVs-J. Under the opitimized conditions, the immunosensor exhibited outstanding analytical performance for the detection of ALVs-J whose titer ranged from 10 2.08 to 10 4.0 TCID 50 /mL (TCID 50 : 50% tissue culture infective dose) with a low detection limit of 120 TCID 50 /mL (S/N = 3). The sensitivity of the immnosensor was 6.15 μA/(TCID 50 /mL). This high sensitive immunosensor also displayed good selectivity, reproducibility and stability. Last but not least, this new strategy may be of great promise for clinic application in the future.

A porous graphene (PG) bionanocomposite of PG, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and anti-indole-3-acetic acid (anti-IAA) antibody for sensitive and label-free amperometric immunoassay of IAA was reported. A PG film was produced by a pre-reduction/electrochemical reduction process on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and then a homogeneous AuNPs layer electrodeposition on the PG film. The anti-IAA antibody was immobilized onto the AuNPs through electrostatic adsorption and covalent conjugation. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), cyclic voltammetry (CV), elecro-chemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) were used to characterize the PG film and the stepwise modification of the immunosensor. The electrochemical immunosensor exhibited a wide linear range from 2 × 10−11 to 2 × 10−8 g mL−1 with a detection limit of 0.016 ng mL−1 (S/N = 3) and showed significant linearity R2 = 0.9970. In addition, the proposed immunosensor showed acceptable selectivity and has been applied to the determination of IAA in the extract samples of several plant seeds with acceptable relative derivation (%) ranging from −5.25% to 4.24% between the immunosensor and high performance liquid chromatography. The proposed chemical pre-reduction and electro-reduction guided protocol can be extended to the preparation of many other functionalized PG nanocomposite films for wide applications.
