Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and specifically relates to a dual-mode test strip, preparation and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Immunochromatographic test strips have been widely used in food safety, medical disease diagnosis, environmental monitoring and other fields due to their advantages such as easy operation, portability, rapidity and on-site analysis. However, the disadvantages of immunochromatographic test strips such as low sensitivity and poor repeatability have limited their application and promotion in the field of analytical testing to a certain extent. In addition, existing methods usually use a single colorimetric signal or fluorescent signal to quantify the content of the target substance. This single-signal detection method has a single system and is easily interfered by environmental factors, which will affect the accuracy of the experimental results to a certain extent. Therefore, it is urgent to develop dual-modal immunochromatographic test strips with higher sensitivity and reliability to meet the needs of analytical testing.
[0003] Aflatoxins are toxic secondary metabolites secreted by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. They are the most toxic and carcinogenic fungal toxins discovered so far. Aflatoxin-producing fungi are widely distributed and have strong infection ability. They have the opportunity to cause pollution in various links such as the growth, harvesting, transportation, storage, and processing of crops. At present, the detection of toxic fungi in food still relies heavily on the traditional microbial morphological characteristics observation method. Due to the wide variety of toxic fungi and the complex morphological characteristics, this detection method is greatly affected by subjective factors and has a high misjudgment rate. At the same time, the detection process is time-consuming and cumbersome to operate, which makes it difficult to meet the needs of fast, efficient, and instant analysis and detection. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been used to detect aflatoxin-producing Aspergillus flavus (Anal. Chem. 2013, 85, 10992-10999, Scientific reports, 2017, 7(1): 4348, Chinese Agricultural Science, 53(7): 1473-1481), but there are still some shortcomings, such as the catalytic activity of natural enzymes is easily disturbed by the external environment, the stability of natural enzymes is poor, and the detection sensitivity of the method is low, which makes it difficult to meet the requirements of efficient and sensitive real-time detection of aflatoxin-producing fungi. In addition, most of the current immunoassay methods are ELISA methods, and there are no reports on the use of immunochromatographic test strips for aflatoxin-producing fungi.

[0028] (4) Assembly of test strips
[0029] On one side of the cardboard, a water-absorbing pad, a detection pad and a sample pad are sequentially pasted from top to bottom, and adjacent pads are overlapped and connected at the joints with an overlap length of 1 to 3 mm to obtain a chromatography test strip.

[0032] The blocking solution used in the preparation of the chromatography test strip is: 0.5 g of bovine serum albumin and 1.6 g of Tween 20 in every 100 mL of 0.01 mol / L PBS solution.
[0033] Based on the dual-modality detection method of the dual-modality immunoassay test strip, the detection method is as follows:

[0038] According to the above scheme, the polydopamine-copper nanomaterial labeled polyclonal antibody reaction reagent sustained-release solution and the test substance solution are mixed at a volume ratio of 4-6.5:1.
[0039] According to the above protocol, incubate at 25-37°C for 5-15 min and read the colorimetric signal directly.
[0040] According to the above method, add signal amplification colorimetric solution to the detection line, place it at 25°C for 15-45s, and read the catalytic amplification colorimetric signal result.
[0041] According to the above scheme, the signal amplification color developing solution is TMB-H 2 O 2 , the concentration of TMB solution is 5-50mmol / L, H 2 O 2 The mass concentration of TMB-H 2 O 2 Dispersed in an acidic buffer solution with a pH of 3.0-6.5.

[0045] According to the above scheme, the specific calculation method of the aflatoxin-producing fungi content in the sample to be tested is: based on the intensity gray value change rate or temperature change ((II 0 ) / I 0 or ΔT, obtain ΔI (i.e. II 0 ) / I 0 or ΔT (ΔT is the temperature rise value, that is, ΔT 1 -ΔT 0 , T 1 and T 0 The relationship curve between the temperature difference between the experimental group and the blank group after laser irradiation) and the analyte is obtained by fitting, and the relationship curve between the colorimetric intensity change value or temperature change value of the test strip detection line and the concentration of the analyte is obtained. The obtained detection line colorimetric intensity change value or temperature change value of the sample solution to be tested is substituted into the above-mentioned fitting relationship curve to obtain the content of the analyte in the sample solution to be tested, and finally the content of the analyte in the sample to be tested is obtained by conversion.
[0046] The detection principle of the dual-mode test strip of the present invention is:
[0047] The solution of the test object, taking aflatoxin-producing fungi as an example, adds the cell lysate of aflatoxin-producing fungi and the polyclonal antibody solution of aflatoxin-producing fungi labeled with polydopamine-copper composite nanomaterials to the enzyme-labeled wells in turn, inserts the immunochromatographic test strip, and flows toward the absorption pad by capillary force. When the test solution contains the test object aflatoxin-producing fungi, the aflatoxin-producing fungi and the nano-antibodies or monoclonal antibodies that recognize the aflatoxin-producing fungi on the detection line of the immunochromatographic test strip are specifically immune-recognized. At the same time, the aflatoxin-producing fungi can be specifically immune-recognized with the polyclonal antibodies of the aflatoxin-producing fungi labeled with polydopamine-copper nanomaterials, and then a sandwich structure of antibody-aflatoxin-producing fungi-polyclonal antibodies labeled with polydopamine copper is formed on the detection line. The more the content of the target aflatoxin-producing fungi in the test solution, the more sandwich structures are formed, and the darker the color of the detection line is. At the same time, the TMB-H 2 O 2 The deeper the blue color after catalytic amplification, the higher the temperature. On the contrary, when the test solution does not contain the aflatoxin-producing fungi, a sandwich structure cannot be formed, and the test line has no obvious color enhancement. 2 O 2 There is no obvious blue enhancement and no obvious temperature enhancement after the system is catalytically amplified. 2 O 2 The principle of catalytic amplification is: in the presence of TMB-H 2 O 2 In the solution, the copper nanoparticles with catalytic activity centers in the nanoantibodies or monoclonal antibodies of aflatoxin-producing fungi labeled with polydopamine-copper nanomaterials catalyze H 2 O 2 The generated hydroxyl radicals further react with the colorless substrate TMB to form a blue oxidized TMB product. The more analytes there are, the more polydopamine-copper-labeled aflatoxin-producing fungi nanoantibodies or monoclonal antibodies that bind to the analytes, and the more TMB-H 2 O 2 The more blue oxidized TMB is produced, the darker the blue color.
[0048] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0049] The present invention provides a dual-mode immune detection test strip. The present invention utilizes a polydopamine-copper composite nanomaterial as a signal conduction medium, can simultaneously obtain colorimetric and photothermal signals for detection, and provides a dual-mode immune detection test strip.
[0050] Compared with the existing methods, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0051] (1) In addition to the traditional direct colorimetric detection signal, the efficient peroxidase mimicking activity of polydopamine-copper composite nanoparticles can also be used to greatly improve the amplification output of the detection signal; and the high photothermal conversion efficiency of polydopamine-copper can be used to provide a new photothermal signal source for detection, thereby enhancing the reliability of the detection method.
[0052] (2) Wide detection range, multiple signal output, and high detection sensitivity. The dual-mode test strip provided by the present invention can be used to determine aflatoxin-producing fungi in the test object. Taking Aspergillus flavus as an example, the detection range is 1ng / mL-100μg / mL, and the minimum detection of Aspergillus flavus is 1ng / mL. This overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art that the sensitivity is low and the detection effect is judged only by the colorimetric signal. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

After drying at 25°C for 1.5 hours, 1 μL TMB-H was added to the test line. 2 O 2 The color developing solution was catalyzed at 25°C for 30 seconds, and then photographed and recorded to observe the results. Regardless of positive or negative results, the quality control line showed a gray band. If the gray band of the quality control line disappeared, the test strip was invalid. The color signal intensity used the gray intensity value in Image J software to obtain the quantitative relationship between the blue intensity value after catalytic amplification and the concentration of aflatoxin-producing fungi.
[0091] Among them, the above-mentioned TMB-H 2 O 2 The color development solution was prepared as follows: 24 mg of TMB was weighed and then diluted to 1 mL with N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solution to prepare a 100 mM TMB color development substrate. Then 3 mL of 25 mM pH 4.0 acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer solution was added, and 1 mL of H 2 O 2 (30%) formed TMB-H 2 O 2 Color developing solution.
[0092] 3) Photothermal detection
[0093] The polyclonal antibody labeled with polydopamine-copper was mixed with Aspergillus flavus lysate and PBS (v:v=6:1) in the enzyme-labeled well to make 200 μL. Taking Aspergillus flavus 3.4408 as an example, the concentration of Aspergillus flavus 3.4408 lysate was set to 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 50, 100 μg / mL. At the same time, a control group without Aspergillus flavus cell lysate was set. After mixing evenly at 25°C, the immunochromatographic test strip was inserted into the enzyme-labeled well reaction solution, reacted at 25°C, and the reaction was stopped after 9 minutes. After drying at 25°C for 1.5 hours, the detection line on the immune test strip was irradiated with a laser, and the temperature of the detection line was recorded for 3 minutes. The quantitative relationship was obtained by ΔT and the concentration of Aspergillus flavus cell lysate. Regardless of the positive result or the negative result, the quality control line showed a gray band. If the gray band of the quality control line disappeared, the test strip was invalid.
[0094] Where ΔT = T 1 -T 0 , ΔT is the temperature rise, T 1 and T 0 are the temperature differences between the experimental group and the blank group after laser irradiation.
[0095] The laser wavelength is 808nm near-infrared light, and the power is 1.5W / cm 2 .
[0096] Example 2 Application of dual-modal immunoassay test strips, the specific method is as follows:
[0097] (1) Preparation of peanut and corn samples
[0098] Peanuts contaminated with Aspergillus flavus and corn samples spiked with Aspergillus flavus were selected, ground, 10 mg was weighed into a 2 mL centrifuge tube, 1 mL of PBS solution was added, and the mixture was ball milled in a ball mill at 60 Hz for 30 s to obtain a peanut and corn suspension. The mixed suspension was centrifuged at 10000 rpm and 4 °C for 20 min, the supernatant was collected, filtered through a 0.22 μm membrane, the filtrate was collected, diluted 10 times, and a 1 mg / mL solution was prepared for use.
[0099] (2) Detection of aflatoxin-producing fungi in samples
[0100] Peanuts and corns with different concentration gradients were set up, and mixed with polydopamine-copper labeled polyclonal antibody reaction reagent (v:v=6:1) in the enzyme-labeled well to form 200 μL, and a control group without uncontaminated actual samples was set up, and after mixing evenly at 25°C, the immunochromatographic test strip was inserted into the enzyme-labeled well reaction solution, and the reaction was stopped after 9 minutes at 25°C. The content of aflatoxin-producing fungi in peanuts and corns was detected using Example 1.
[0101] Test results: The more contaminated the peanuts and corns are with aflatoxin-producing fungi, the darker the corresponding test strip test line is. 2 O 2 The bluer the color after catalysis, the higher the temperature of the test line. When the concentration of aflatoxin-producing fungi in actual peanuts and corn is lower than 10 ng / mL, conventional visual test lines cannot be used for identification. 2 O 2 After the system is catalytically amplified, the lowest concentration of aflatoxin-producing fungi that can be detected by visual detection is 1 ng / mL. At the same time, the lowest temperature signal value of the detection line can also detect the concentration of aflatoxin-producing fungi as 1 ng / mL. Regardless of positive or negative results, the quality control line shows a gray band. If the gray band of the quality control line disappears, the test strip is invalid.
