Article Abstract

To satisfy the need to develop highly sensitive methods for detecting the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and further enhance detection efficiency and capability, a new method was created for detecting SARS-CoV-2 of the open reading frames 1ab (ORF1ab) target gene by a electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor based on dual-probe hybridization through the use of a detection model of "magnetic capture probes-targeted nucleic acids-Ru(bpy) labeled signal probes". The detection model used magnetic particles coupled with a biotin-labeled complementary nucleic acid sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 ORF1ab target gene as the magnetic capture probes and Ru(bpy) labeled amino modified another complementary nucleic acid sequence as the signal probes, which combined the advantages of the highly specific dual-probe hybridization and highly sensitive ECL biosensor technology. In the range of 0.1 fM~10 µM, the method made possible rapid and sensitive detection of the ORF1ab gene of the SARS-CoV-2 within 30 min, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.1 fM. The method can also meet the analytical requirements for simulated samples such as saliva and urine with the definite advantages of a simple operation without nucleic acid amplification, high sensitivity, reasonable reproducibility, and anti-interference solid abilities, expounding a new way for efficient and sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2.

New biological insights are increasingly dependent upon a deeper understanding of tissue architectures. Critical to such studies are spatial transcriptomics technologies, especially those amenable to analysis of the most widely available human tissue type, formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) clinical specimens. Here we build on our previous oligonucleotide probe ligation-based approach to accurately analyze FFPE mRNA, which suffers from variable levels of degradation.

Background: In recent years, frequent outbreaks of infectious diseases caused by hemorrhagic fever viruses have posed serious threats to global public health. The pathogens are variable and highly infectious, such as Sudan (SEBOV), Zaire (ZEBOV), Marburg (MARV), (LASV), Rift Valley fever (RVFV), Sin Nombre (SNV), etc. To improve the efficiency of pathogen detection, a method for simultaneous screening multiplex targets is in a great demand.

An Electrochemical Aptasensor for Accurate and Sensitive Detection of Exosomes Based on Dual-Probe Recognition and Hybridization Chain Reaction.

Biosensors (Basel)

State Key Laboratory of Flexible Electronics (LoFE) & Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Smart Biomaterials and Theranostic Technology, Institute of Advanced Materials (IAM), Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, 9 Wenyuan Road, Nanjing 210023, China.

The accurate and sensitive detection of tumor-derived exosomes holds significant promise for the early diagnosis of cancer. In this study, an electrochemical aptasensor was developed for the high-performance detection of exosomes by integrating dual-probe recognition and hybridization chain reaction (HCR). A dual-probe recognition unit composed of a MUC1 aptamer (MUC1-Apt) probe and cholesterol probe was designed for capturing target exosomes and reducing the interference from free proteins, significantly improving the accuracy of exosome detection.

Article Synopsis
  • Real-time monitoring of mRNA in living cells is essential for studying biological processes, but traditional methods can't observe cells continuously.
  • The study developed a dual-probe system using silica nanoparticles and gold nanoparticles to effectively monitor mRNA, specifically heat shock protein 70A, in living cells.
  • The results showed a decrease in fluorescence and an increase in SERS signal over time, demonstrating the system's potential for long-term gene expression monitoring in biological research.
