Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of immunochromatography, and in particular to a Raman-enhanced nano-label based on a polydopamine core-shell structure, a preparation method thereof, and application in immunochromatography. Background Art
[0002] In recent decades, sudden respiratory infections caused by the rapid spread of airborne droplets, such as coronaviruses, influenza viruses, and respiratory syncytial virus, have posed a serious threat to public health. Early clinical symptoms of respiratory infections (such as sore throat, cough, fever, and headache) are relatively similar, posing a significant challenge to the existing healthcare system during peak influenza season. Therefore, the development of convenient and cost-effective point-of-care testing (POCT) strategies to enable timely differential diagnosis of infection sources to guide clinical treatment and prevention is urgent.
[0003] Based on the specific binding of antibodies and antigens and the principle of chromatography, lateral flow immunochromatography (LFA) offers advantages such as ease of use, low cost, and portability, making it a well-established point-of-care (POCT) tool for disease diagnosis and personal health self-assessment. Traditional LFIA relies on colloidal gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to provide visible colorimetric results in the test strip's detection zone. However, the insufficient colorimetric signal intensity generated by AuNPs alone leads to limitations in colorimetric LFIA, including low sensitivity, poor reproducibility, and insufficient quantitative capability. To enhance the analytical performance of LFIA, researchers are integrating more sensitive signal readout technologies into LFIA systems, including surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), fluorescence, catalytic amplification, and magnetic signals. These technologies have successfully achieved highly sensitive detection of biomarkers, pathogens, and nucleic acids. SERS offers advantages over other methods, such as non-destructiveness, resistance to photobleaching, robustness, ultrasensitivity, and fingerprint recognition, enabling quantitative detection at the single-molecule level. Furthermore, SERS nanotags, fabricated from noble metal nanoparticles coated with specific Raman reporter molecules, can generate both a strong Raman signal (with a narrow characteristic peak) and colorimetric visualization on LFIA test strips. This dual-signal mode makes the SERS-LFIA method both flexible and practical for diverse application scenarios.
[0004] The design of the SERS tag determines the detection performance of the LFIA. However, SERS tags based on single plasmonic nanoparticles (gold / silver and anisotropic nanoparticles) generally suffer from poor stability in complex samples, insufficient SERS activity, and susceptibility to environmental interference, which can easily lead to false detections in clinical samples using SERS-LFIA. Recent studies have demonstrated that composite core-shell nanotags based on SiO2, Fe3O4, and two-dimensional materials can be applied to SERS-LFIA systems, further improving SERS response and stability. However, existing studies have either suffered from complex preparation processes or failed to achieve simultaneous improvements in SERS and colorimetric sensitivity.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0071] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, the following technical solutions are adopted: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a Raman-enhanced nanotag based on a polydopamine core-shell structure, wherein the Raman-enhanced nanotag based on the polydopamine core-shell structure comprises, from the inside to the outside, a PDA microsphere core, a PEI layer, and a gold and silver nanoparticle layer; Wherein, the gold-silver nanoparticle layer is gold-silver nanoparticles with a core-shell structure; The gold and silver nanoparticle layer is connected to a Raman signal molecule DTNB, and the terminal carboxyl group of the Raman signal molecule DTNB is coupled to a capture antibody for the H1N1 virus or a capture antibody for the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

The Raman-enhanced nanotag based on the PDA core-shell structure has excellent performance.
[0073] First, polydopamine (PDA), a multimolecular polymer formed by the self-polymerization of dopamine (DA) in alkaline solution, offers a simple preparation process, excellent dispersibility and biocompatibility, and strong colorimetric performance, making it an ideal label carrier for immunochromatographic detection. Second, based on an electrostatic interaction-mediated self-assembly strategy, the optical properties of PDA microspheres and gold-silver nanoparticles (hereafter referred to as Au@Ag NPs) were integrated to significantly enhance the colorimetric detection performance of the label. Third, Au@Ag bimetallic nanoparticles exhibit a higher SPR effect than pure noble metal materials, enhancing SERS activity. Finally, the high-density interstitial arrangement of Au@Ag on the PDA surface creates numerous "hotspots," further enhancing SERS activity.

[0108] In the present invention, the Raman-enhanced nanotag-driven colorimetric / SER dual-enhanced immunoassay technology based on the PDA core-shell structure is used as a detection product for ultrasensitive detection of respiratory viruses, which can achieve simultaneous, rapid, accurate, and highly sensitive qualitative and quantitative detection of H1N1 and SARS-CoV-2 in untreated biological samples.
[0109] In a fourth aspect, the present invention provides a product for detecting multiple respiratory viruses, wherein the product for detecting multiple respiratory viruses comprises: a Raman-enhanced nanotag and an immunochromatographic test paper; Wherein, the Raman enhanced nanotag includes the Raman enhanced nanotag based on the polydopamine core-shell structure as described in the first aspect; The immunochromatographic test paper includes a sample pad, an NC membrane, and a water-absorbing pad sequentially arranged on a fixed bottom plate along the chromatographic direction of the sample to be tested; the NC membrane is provided with a detection line T1, a detection line T2, and a quality control line C spaced apart along the chromatographic direction of the sample to be tested; the detection line T1 is coated with an H1N1 antibody, the detection line T2 is coated with a SARS-CoV-2 antibody, and the quality control line C is coated with a goat anti-mouse IgG antibody.
[0110] In a fifth aspect, the present invention provides a method for detecting multiple respiratory viruses, comprising the following steps: The Raman-enhanced nanotag based on the PDA core-shell structure as described in the first aspect is added to a solution containing both H1N1 and SARS-CoV-2, and after brief mixing, a PAu@Ag immune tag-target complex is obtained; wherein the solution containing H1N1 and SARS-CoV-2 includes a buffer containing N protein and / or a throat swab sample containing H1N1 and SARS-CoV-2 viruses; The PAu@Ag immunolabel-target complex is dropped onto the sample pad of the immunochromatographic test strip, and the colorimetric results at the detection line of the immunochromatographic test strip are then observed for rapid qualitative detection.
