Determination of trace glucose and forecast of human diseases by affinity adsorption solid substrate-room temperature phosphorimetry based on triticum vulgaris lectin labeled with dendrimers-porphyrin dual luminescence molecule

In this paper, 3.5-generation polyamidoamine dendrimers (3.5G-D)-porphyrin (P) dual luminescence molecule (3.5G-D-P) was developed as a new phosphorescence-labeling reagent. Meanwhile, the room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) characteristics of 3.5G-D-P and its product of labeling triticum vulgaris lectin (WGA) on the surface of polyamide membrane (PAM) were studied. Results showed that in the presence of heavy atom perturber LiAc, 3.5G-D and P of 3.5G-D-P molecule could emit strong and stable RTP on the PAM. And the Tween-80 would spike thoroughly the phosphorescence signal of 3.5G-D and P; moreover, specific affinity absorption (AA) reaction between the products (Tween-80-3.5G-D-P-WGA) of WGA labeled with Tween-80-3.5G-D-P and glucose (G) was carried out. The products of the AA reaction could keep good RTP characteristics of 3.5G-D and P dual luminescence molecule, and the DeltaI(p) was linear correlation to the content of G. According to the facts above, a new method of affinity adsorption solid substrate-room temperature phosphorimetry (AA-SS-RTP) for the determination of trace G was established, basing on WGA labeled with Tween-80-3.5G-D-P dual luminescence molecule. The detection limit of this method was 0.13fgspot(-1) (1.7x10(-12)moll(-1), 3.5G-D) and 0.14fgspot(-1) (2.2x10(-12)moll(-1), P). Determination of G in human serum using excitation/emission wavelength of either 3.5G-D or P, the result was coincided with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Not only the sensitivity and accuracy of this method were higher, but also the flexibility of AA-SS-RTP was obviously improved and the applicability was wider.

Determination of trace gastrin and diagnosis of human diseases using CdTe quantum dots labelled gastrin antibodies as phosphorescence sensors.

CdTe quantum dots (CdTe-QDs) can emit strong and stable room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) via the perturbation effect of a Pb(2+) ion on the surface of a nitrocellulose membrane (NCM). CdTe-QDs-Ab(GAS), the product of CdTe-QDs labelled gastrin antibodies (Ab(GAS)), can not only maintain good RTP characteristics, but can also be used as a RTP sensor and carry out highly specific immunoreactions with gastrin (GAS) to form GAS-Ab(GAS)-CdTe-QDs causing the ΔI(p) of the system to sharply enhance. Thus, a new solid substrate room temperature phosphorescence immunoassay (SSRTPIA) for the determination of GAS was established based on the linear relativity between the ΔI(p) of the system and the content of GAS. The limit of quantification (LOQ) of this method was 0.43 fg spot(-1) with the corresponding concentration being 1.1 × 10(-12) g mL(-1) and sampling quantity being 0.40 per spot(-1). This highly specific, accurate, selective and sensitive RTP sensor has been applied to the determination of GAS in biological samples and the diagnosis of diseases, and the results agreed well with those obtained by radioimmunometric assay (RIA). Meanwhile, the mechanism of SSRTPIA for the determination of GAS using CdTe-QDs-Ab(GAS) as the RTP sensor was discussed.

Solid substrate-room temperature phosphorimetry for the determination of residual clenbuterol hydrochloride based on the catalysis of sodium periodate oxidizing eosine Y

Clenbuterol hydrochloride (CLB) could catalyze NaIO(4) oxidation of eosine Y (R), which caused the room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) signal of R to quench sharply. The DeltaI(P) (= I(P2)-I(P1), I(P2) was RTP intensities of reagent blank and I(P1) was RTP intensities of test solution) of the system was directly proportional to the content of CLB. According to that academic thought, a new solid substrate-room temperature phosphorimetry (SS-RTP) for the determination of trace CLB has been established. This method has high sensitivity (detection limit (LD): 0.021 zg spot(-1), corresponding concentration: 5.2x10(-20) g mL(-1)) and good selectivity (Er = +/-5%, interfering species were of no interference). It has been applied to the determination of residual CLB in the practical samples. The results were verified using HPLC and GC/MS methods. The reaction mechanism of catalytic SS-RTP for the determination of residual CLB was also discussed.

Exploitation of phosphorescent labelling reagent of fullerol-fluorescein isothiocyanate and new method for the determination of trace alkaline phosphatase as well as forecast of human diseases.

A new phosphorescent labelling reagent consisting of fullerol, fluorescein isothiocyanate and N,N-dimethylaniline (F-ol-(FITC)(n)-DMA) was developed. The mode of action is based on the reactivity of the active -OH group in F-ol with the -COOH group of FITC to form an F-ol-(FITC)(n)-DMA complex containing several FITC molecules. F-ol-(FITC)(n)-DMA increased the number of luminescent molecules in the biological target of WGA-AP-WGA-F-ol-(FITC)(n)-DMA (WGA and AP are wheat germ agglutinin and alkaline phosphatase, respectively) which improved the sensitivity using solid substrate room temperature phosphorimetry (SSRTP) detection. The proposed method provided high sensitivity and strong specificity for WGA-AP. The limit of detection (LD) was 0.15 ag AP spot(-1) for F-ol and 0.097 ag AP spot(-1) for FITC in F-ol-(FITC)(n)-DMA, which was lower than the method using single luminescent molecules of F-ol-DMA and FITC-DMA to label WGA (0.20 ag AP spot(-1) for F-ol-DMA and 0.22 ag AP spot(-1) for FITC-DMA). Results for the determination of AP in human serum were in good agreement with those obtained by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The mechanism of F-ol-(FITC)(n)-DMA labelling of WGA was discussed.

Determination of trace carvedilol by solid substrate–room temperature phosphorimetry, based on its activating effect on hypochlorite‐oxidizing amaranth using sodium dodecyl benzene sulphonate as sensitizer

=542.0/709.4 nm. When modified by dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid sodium salt (DBS), fullerenol emits a stronger signal. It was also found that quantitative specific affinity‐adsorption reaction can be carried out between Triticum vulgare lectin (WGA) labeled with DBS‐F and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) on the surface of NCM, and the product obtained (WGA‐ALP‐WGA‐F‐DBS) emits a strong and stable RTP signal. Furthermore, the content of ALP was proportional to the ΔIp value. Based on the facts above, a new method for the determination of trace amounts of ALP by affinity‐adsorption solid‐substrate room‐temperature phosphorimetry (AA‐SS‐RTP) was established, using fullerenol modified with DBS to label WGA. The detection limit was 0.011 fg spot−1 (corresponding concentration: 2.8×10−14 g ml−1, namely 2.8×10−16 mol l−1). This method with high sensitivity, accuracy, and precision has been successfully applied to the determination of the content of ALP in human serum survey and forecast human disease, and the results are tallied with those using alkaline phosphatase kits. The mechanism for the determination of ALP using AA‐SS‐RTP was also discussed.

Determination of trace α‐fetoprotein variant by affinity adsorption solid substrate‐room temperature phosphorimetry

Abstract In the presence of Pb(Ac)2, the silicon dioxide nanoparticle containing rhodamine 6G (R‐SiO2) can emit strong and stable solid substrate‐room temperature phosphorescence (SS‐RTP) signal on the surface of acetyl cellulose membrane (ACM) at λex/λem=482/649 nm. It was found in the research that specific affinity adsorption reaction between triticum vulgare lectin (WGA) (which was labeled with luminescent silicon dioxide nanoparticle) and alkaline phosphatase (AP) can be carried out on the surface of ACM. The product of the reaction can emit stronger SS‐RTP signal. A new method of SS‐RTP for the determination of AP was established, based on an affinity adsorption reaction between AP and WGA labeled with nanoparticles containing rhodanime 6G luminescent molecules. The linear range of this WGA‐AP‐WGA‐R‐SiO2 method is 1.00–360.00 ag AP spot−1 (sample volume: 0.40 µL spot−1, corresponding concentration range: 2.50–900.00 fg mL−1). The regression equation of working curve is ΔIp=16.24+0.8856 mAP (ag spot−1), r=0.9993. Detection limit of this method calculated by 3Sb/k is 0.14 ag spot−1. After 11‐fold replicate measurements, RSD are 3.9% and 3.1% for the systems containing 1.00 and 360.00 ag AP spot−1, respectively. Compared with R‐SiO2‐WGA‐AP method (detection limit: 0.45 ag spot−1, corresponding concentration range: 2.00–320.00 ag spot−1), the sensitivity of WGA‐AP‐WGA‐R‐SiO2 method was obviously improved and the linear range was wider. The sensitivity, accuracy, and precision of this method are high. It has been successfully applied to determine AP in human serum.
