Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of lateral flow chromatography test strip technology, specifically to a Salmonella typhimurium aptamer lateral flow chromatography test strip based on the photothermal effect of ferric oxide@colloidal gold composite nanomaterials, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Salmonella typhimurium is an important foodborne pathogen that causes acute gastroenteritis. This pathogen can cross the intestinal barrier, causing systemic infection, and globally, 150,000 people die annually from Salmonella typhimurium infection. Furthermore, food contamination caused by Salmonella typhimurium leads to lost productivity and food recalls, resulting in severe economic consequences for the food industry. Therefore, developing more sensitive and convenient methods for detecting Salmonella typhimurium in food is of great significance to ensuring food safety.
[0003] In recent years, photothermal test strips have emerged as a novel detection method for detecting pathogenic bacteria in food. Currently, the main nanomaterial used in photothermal immunoassay strips is colloidal gold (GNP) particles. However, the low photothermal conversion efficiency and relatively light color development of GNPs limit their detection sensitivity. Furthermore, most commercially available test strips are immunoassay strips, using antibodies as recognition molecules. Antibodies suffer from drawbacks such as high cost, low stability, and significant batch-to-batch variability.
[0004] Chinese patent CN113881790B discloses a magnetic Fe3O4@aptamer and its application in combination with fluorescent test strips for detecting foodborne pathogens. The preparation method of the magnetic Fe3O4@aptamer involves first preparing Fe3O4 powder, then washing the Fe3O4 powder with ultrapure water and resuspending it in ultrapure water. After adding the aptamer, the mixture is shaken at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, magnetic separation is performed, the supernatant is discarded, and the mixture is washed again with ultrapure water and resuspended in ultrapure water to obtain the final product. This patent utilizes PCR amplification technology and fluorescence signals to improve the sensitivity of detecting foodborne pathogens, making it suitable for detecting pathogens in food samples. However, the photothermal conversion efficiency of the magnetic Fe3O4@aptamer prepared in this patent is low. Summary of the Invention

[0083] 2. Probe preparation:
[0084] (1) Preparation of Fe3O4@Au composite nanomaterials: Under nitrogen protection, 1.622g FeCl3·6H2O and 0.994g FeCl2·4H2O were dissolved in 20mL of deionized water, and then 5mL of ammonia (volume fraction of 28%) was added. The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 10min, and 4.4g of trisodium citrate was added at 90℃. The solution was collected with a magnet to obtain Fe3O4•NPS coated with citrate.
[0085] Take 10 mL of citrate-coated Fe3O4•NPS (since it was not dried after being collected by the magnet, the obtained citrate-coated Fe3O4•NPS was in liquid form) and add it to 20 mL of boiling HAuCl4 solution with a concentration of 0.175 mg / mL. Keep boiling until the solution turns reddish-brown, then continue heating for 10 min. Then continue stirring and cooling until it cools to room temperature. Collect it with a magnet to obtain Fe3O4@Au composite nanomaterials (since it was not dried after being collected by the magnet, the obtained Fe3O4@Au was also in liquid form). Store the obtained Fe3O4@Au composite nanomaterials at 4 °C for later use.
[0086] The obtained citrate-coated Fe3O4•NPS and Fe3O4@Au composite nanomaterials were comprehensively characterized using thermal field emission electron microscopy (FET), observing their size, morphology, and dispersion. The particle size of the Fe3O4@Au composite nanomaterials was analyzed using nanoparticle size and Zeta potential analyzers. The results are shown below. Figure 1 .
[0087] (2) Probe synthesis: Take 100 μL of Fe3O4@Au composite nanomaterial, continue to collect it with a magnet, add ultrapure water to the total volume of 100 μL, sonicate for 20 min, add K2CO3 to adjust the pH to 8, and obtain Fe3O4@Au composite material solution; add 2 μL of 20 μM thiol-modified aptamer (see SEQ ID No. 1 in the sequence listing) to 7.5 μL. 0.25% TCEP was activated at 37°C in the dark for 1 hour to obtain an activated mixed aptamer solution. The activated mixed aptamer solution was mixed with the Fe3O4@Au composite nanomaterial and incubated at room temperature for 3 hours. After the thiol groups on the aptamer formed gold-sulfur bonds with the Au on the Fe3O4@Au composite nanomaterial, 2 μL of 1M sodium chloride solution was added and the reaction was carried out overnight at 4°C. 100 μL of the solution was collected with a magnet and reconstituted with 1% PEG-8000 PBS buffer (pH 7.4) to prepare 50 μL of Fe3O4@Au aptamer probe (the Fe3O4@Au aptamer probe was used to detect the Salmonella typhimurium solution).
[0088] 3. Preparation of T-line aptamer solution: Add streptavidin solution to biotin-modified aptamer (see SEQ ID No. 1 in the sequence listing) and react at room temperature for 40 min to obtain T-line aptamer solution with streptavidin concentration of 6 mg / mL and aptamer concentration of 110 μM;
[0089] 4. Preparation of C-line aptamer solution: Add streptavidin solution to cDNA complementary to the aptamer (see SEQ ID No. 2 in the sequence listing) (no thiolization required), react at room temperature for 40 min, and obtain a C-line aptamer solution with a streptavidin concentration of 1 mg / mL and a cDNA concentration of 30 μM complementary to the aptamer.
[0090] 5. Streaking: Using a streak scribing apparatus, streak the T-line aptamer solution and the C-line aptamer solution onto the test strip to draw the T-line and C-line, ensuring that the distance between the T-line and C-line is 4 mm. Then, dry the entire test strip at 37°C for 1 hour and cut it into 4 mm wide Salmonella Typhimurium aptamer lateral flow chromatography test strips based on the photothermal effect of ferric oxide@colloidal gold composite nanomaterials.
[0091] This embodiment provides a Salmonella Typhimurium aptamer lateral flow chromatography test strip prepared by the aforementioned preparation method.
[0092] In this embodiment, a Salmonella Typhimurium aptamer lateral flow chromatography test strip was prepared. Fe3O4@Au binds to the thiol-modified aptamer chain via gold-sulfur bonds to form a specific detection probe for Salmonella Typhimurium. Excess sites on the probe surface were sealed with polyethylene glycol-8000. A biotin-modified aptamer, linked to streptavidin, was sprayed onto the surface of a nitrocellulose membrane to form the T-line of the test strip.
[0093] Test Example 1
[0094] When the Salmonella Typhimurium aptamer lateral flow chromatography test strip prepared in Example 1 was applied to the detection of Salmonella Typhimurium, the Salmonella Typhimurium aptamer lateral flow chromatography test strip, a laser generator, and a thermal imager were used. The schematic diagram is shown below. Figure 2 In this application, by adjusting the angle between the laser generator probe and the T-line of the side-flow chromatography test strip, the specific wavelength laser emitted by the laser generator is ensured to irradiate the T-line of the side-flow chromatography test strip, thereby achieving photothermal signal conversion of the Fe3O4@Au nanomaterial. A thermal imager is then used to record the temperature change. The detection principle is that after Fe3O4@Au-Apt specifically captures Salmonella typhimurium, it forms a sandwich structure. The catalytic effect of Fe3O4@Au on H2O2 generates reactive oxygen species, which then oxidize the TMB chromogenic solution to generate a chromogenic product, amplifying the chromogenic signal. The dried test strip is then irradiated with a laser, and the thermal imager measures and records the temperature difference before and after irradiation of the T-line of the test strip, performing photothermal detection to improve detection sensitivity and achieve quantitative detection.
[0095] When performing laser irradiation, it is necessary to determine the laser irradiation time. The method used to determine this time is to drop the Fe3O4@Au composite nanomaterial obtained in step (1) of the probe preparation in Example 1 onto the surface of a nitrocellulose membrane. After drying, the membrane is irradiated with a laser, and the temperature change is recorded using a thermal imager. The resulting temperature change curve is shown in [Figure 1]. Figure 3 ,Depend on Figure 3 It can be observed that the temperature rises continuously with the increase of irradiation time, until it gradually stabilizes and reaches its peak after 10 seconds. Therefore, 10 seconds was chosen as the laser irradiation time.
[0096] Before applying the Salmonella Typhimurium aptamer lateral flow chromatography test strip prepared in Example 1, the sensitivity and specificity were tested. The specific testing methods are as follows:
[0097] 1. Detection sensitivity
[0098] 70 μL of a known concentration of Salmonella Typhimurium solution was mixed with 10 μL of the Fe3O4@Au aptamer probe prepared in step (2) of probe preparation in Example 1. The mixture was shaken for 30 min, collected with a magnet, and the solution was removed. The solution was then reconstituted with 80 μL of PBS buffer (pH 7.4) containing 1% polyethylene glycol-8000 to obtain a sample mixture. The sample mixture was added to the sample pad area of the Salmonella Typhimurium aptamer lateral flow chromatography test strip prepared in Example 1. After 10 min, 40 μL of the mixture (8 μL of 30% H2O2 aqueous solution and 32 μL of...) was added... A mixture of TMB colorimetric solutions was added to the nitrocellulose membrane of the Salmonella Typhimurium aptamer lateral flow chromatography test strip prepared in Example 1. The reaction was allowed to proceed for 10 minutes. After drying, the initial temperature of the T-line was measured using a thermal imager. Then, the strip was irradiated with a 1W laser generator for 10 seconds, and the final temperature of the T-line was measured again. The temperature difference ΔT was calculated as ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature. A standard curve was constructed with the logarithm of the Salmonella Typhimurium concentration on the x-axis and ΔT on the y-axis. The standard curve equation was obtained by fitting the curve. The obtained standard curve equation is Y = 1.463X + 0.261, R... 2 =0.998. The detection limit was set to 302 CFU / mL.
[0099] 2. Detection specificity
[0100] The Salmonella typhimurium aptamer lateral flow chromatography test strip prepared in Example 1 showed a bacterial concentration of 10. 7 CFU / mL of Salmonella typhimurium and 10 7 Other foodborne pathogens (Salmonella paratyphi, Listeria, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus) were tested at CFU / mL, and the visual and photothermal test results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, only the test strip containing Salmonella typhimurium can achieve color development while significantly enhancing the photothermal signal, proving that the test strip has detection specificity.
[0101] The application method of the Salmonella Typhimurium aptamer lateral flow chromatography test strip prepared in Example 1 is as follows:
[0102] First, mix 70 μL of the test solution with 10 μL of the Fe3O4@Au aptamer probe obtained in step (2) of probe preparation in Example 1. React on a shaker for 30 min. Then, collect the solution with a magnet and remove it. Redissolve the solution with PBS and add it to the sample pad area of the test strip. After 10 min, slowly add 40 μL of H2O2 and TMB mixture (8 μL of 30% H2O2 aqueous solution and 32 μL of TMB colorimetric solution) to the nitrocellulose membrane of the test strip. React for 10 min and observe the color development. After drying, measure the initial temperature of the T line with a thermal imager. Then, irradiate with a laser generator with an irradiation power of 1W for 10 s and measure the final temperature of the T line with a thermal imager. Calculate the temperature difference ΔT, ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature. Substitute into the standard curve equation to calculate the concentration of Salmonella typhimurium in the test solution.
[0103] Test Example 2
[0104] Take 2 μL of Fe3O4@Au composite nanomaterials and Fe3O4•NPS obtained in step (1) of the probe preparation in Example 1, and place them on nitrocellulose membranes respectively. After drying, irradiate the materials with a laser and measure the temperature with a thermal imager. When the temperature reaches the highest value, turn off the laser and record the temperature drop curve with a thermal imager until the material cools down to the lowest temperature. The comparison results of the obtained photothermal performance curves are shown in the figure. Figure 5 A. Repeat the above operation five times, and record the photothermal cycling curve of the Fe3O4@Au composite nanomaterial obtained in Example 1. The results are shown in [the table below].
