AI Technical Summary
Existing SPR sensors have drawbacks when detecting type II ribosomal inactivating proteins (such as ricin and abrinogen), including large instrument size, complex operation, and difficulty in miniaturization and portability. In addition, the stability and sensitivity of the sensors are insufficient, and the existing methods are expensive, making it difficult to achieve rapid and sensitive on-site detection.
Using a quartz optical fiber substrate, a stable covalent bond is formed between the substrate and a metal nanoparticle layer through a mercaptosilane coupling agent or an aminosilane coupling agent. Combined with a metal oxide layer and a functional modification layer, an SPR optical fiber probe is prepared, and detection is achieved through a detection system and kit.
The stability and sensitivity of the sensor have been improved, with a detection limit as low as 1 ng/mL, making it suitable for small, portable instruments. It can quickly and sensitively detect type II ribosome-inactivated proteins and is suitable for on-site detection in complex matrices.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of analytical chemistry and medical defense against chemical weapons, and particularly relates to a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) optical fiber probe and its application in detection of type II ribosome inactivating proteins (e.g., ricin and abrin). BACKGROUND
[0002] Ricin and abrin belong to type II ribosome inactivating proteins (RIP-II) and are composed of A and B chains, with the molecular weight of the A chain being about 30 kDa and that of the B chain being about 35 kDa. The two chains are connected by a disulfide bond, and the B chain has lectin activity and can bind to glycosyl structures such as galactose and N-acetylgalactosamine on the cell surface, thereby guiding the RIP-II toxin protein into the cell. This process is a prerequisite for the A chain to exert enzymatic activity and inhibit protein synthesis, ultimately leading to cell death. Ricin and abrin are highly toxic, easy to prepare, and highly concealed (with a latent period in the body), and there is currently no specific antidote, only symptomatic treatment. Therefore, how to sensitively and accurately detect trace amounts of active ricin and abrin proteins has important practical significance and has become a problem that needs to be solved in public health, food safety, and poisoning diagnosis and treatment.
[0003] Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is an excellent method for studying molecular interactions. Based on the study of the interaction of molecules with different characteristics and their combinations on the material surface with incident light, it can be used to monitor, label-free, with low sample requirement, rapid detection process, high throughput, high sensitivity, and other advantages, and has great potential in the field of toxin protein sensing detection. For example, in 2008, Hung et al. used antibodies as affinity elements to combine with commercial SPR instruments to detect ricin in environmental samples, with a LOD of 0.5 ng / mL and a linear range of 3 orders of magnitude (Toxicon, 2008, 52(4): 582-588). In 2022, the inventors' team developed a protein G-directed SPR resonance immunosensing method based on a commercial SPR instrument, which realized the label-free differentiation and quantification of RCA60, ABA60 and their lectins, and successfully applied it to steviol glycosides, protein powder and other matrices with a LOD as low as 0.6 ng / mL and a linear range of 2-3 orders of magnitude (Talanta, 2022, 238:122860). In 2023, the inventors' team screened different polypeptides as affinity elements and established a polypeptide-based SPR sensing method to detect ricin, with good linear relationship and a LOD of 0.5 nM (30 ng / mL) (Toxins, 2023, 15(8)). The above work laid a good foundation for the development of portable sensing analysis methods based on SPR technology for toxin proteins.
[0004] However, this technology is often limited by the instrument structure when applied. Most commercial SPR instruments adopt a prism structure, which is often bulky and complex to operate, and can only be operated in an off-site laboratory, making them unsuitable for use as field testing equipment. For example, the Biacore T200 uses a prism structure and employs complex microfluidic technology to analyze samples, requiring cumbersome and complex cleaning steps between the analysis of different samples. Fiber-coupled SPR is another SPR coupling method, which is suitable for the development of miniaturized SPR instruments. Suzuki et al. successfully fabricated a fiber optic SPR sensor by depositing a uniformly thick gold film layer on the surface of an optical fiber (Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical, 2008, 132(1): 26-33). This uniform coating method has been widely recognized and applied, becoming a classic approach for fabricating fiber optic SPR sensors. To further improve the sensitivity of sensors, researchers have explored various methods, one of which is to change the substrate structure of the optical fiber, including D-type, U-type, tapered, and multimode fiber-coreless fiber-multimode fiber (MMF-NCF-MMF) structures (Sensors, 2019, 19(19): 4345). This allows the light field in the fiber to leak from the fiber core, thereby exciting more evanescent waves, improving the sensor's sensitivity, and achieving better sensing performance. However, optical fibers are thin and fragile, and changing the substrate structure is not only complex but also reduces the mechanical strength of the sensor structure, making it difficult to ensure the sensor's stability. Another method is to optimize the film material by adding metal oxide films or two-dimensional materials, such as TiO2, Ta2O5, MoS2, and graphene, to the surface of the sensor's metal film layer. This aims to change the electric field distribution in the sensing film layer, enhance the electric field strength, and ultimately improve the performance of the fiber optic SPR sensor (Optik, 2021, 226 (P1): 165842). However, this type of method requires complex chemical processing, which is costly and increases the difficulty of fabricating fiber optic SPR sensors. Furthermore, it may lead to an increase in the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the resonant wavelength, reducing the sensor's performance and stability. Patent document CN119738388A discloses a fiber optic SPR sensor, its fabrication method, and a detection system. The gold film particle size on the surface of this fiber optic SPR sensor exhibits a gradient change along the fiber axis, resulting in a wide detection range and high detection sensitivity. This to some extent meets the requirements for instrument miniaturization, simplified operation, and portability. However, the SPR fiber optic sensor fabricated using this method has poor gold film stability, which greatly restricts its widespread use in the field of rapid detection. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The application provides an SPR optical fiber probe, comprising: an optical fiber substrate, a first medium layer and a metal nanoparticle layer, wherein the optical fiber substrate is a quartz optical fiber substrate, the first medium layer is formed by a mercapto silane coupling agent or an amino silane coupling agent, and is located between the optical fiber substrate and the metal nanoparticle layer.

[0007] In some embodiments, the mercapto silane coupling agent or the amino silane coupling agent of the first medium layer hydrolyzes and condenses with the surface of the optical fiber substrate to form a Si-O-Si covalent bond, and forms a metal-nitrogen coordination bond or a metal-sulfur covalent bond with the metal nanoparticles of the metal nanoparticle layer.
[0008] The hydrolysable siloxane group in the mercapto silane coupling agent or the amino silane coupling agent can hydrolyze and condense with the silicon hydroxyl group on the surface of the optical fiber substrate to form a Si-O-Si covalent bond; the mercapto group in the mercapto silane coupling agent can form a metal-sulfur covalent bond with the metal nanoparticles of the metal nanoparticle layer; and the amino group in the amino silane coupling agent can form a metal-nitrogen coordination bond with the metal nanoparticles of the metal nanoparticle layer, so that the metal nanoparticles are stably combined on the surface of the optical fiber substrate and are not easy to fall off.
[0009] In some embodiments, the mercapto silane coupling agent is 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane, 3-mercaptopropyl triethoxysilane or mercaptomethyl trimethoxysilane. In some embodiments, the amino silane coupling agent is 3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyl methyl dimethoxysilane, N-(β-aminoethyl)-γ-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane or N-(β-aminoethyl)-γ-aminopropyl triethoxysilane.

[0017] The metal oxide layer is treated with strong alkaline aqueous solution to form exposed hydroxyl groups on the surface. The chlorine atoms of epichlorohydrin or its analogs react with these hydroxyl groups via Williamson synthesis to form ether bond, thus forming oxirane-2-ylmethoxy groups on the surface of the metal oxide layer. The ether bond between oxirane-2-yl (i.e. epoxy group) and dextran is formed via ring-opening reaction, thus modifying dextran on the surface of the metal oxide. Further, the surface hydroxyl groups of dextran are oxidized to carboxyl groups, thus completing the connection of the functional modification layer.

It is clear to those skilled in the art that the materials and methods used in the following examples are well known in the art if not specifically mentioned. The following examples are used to illustrate the present application.
[0097] Example 1 Preparation and stability evaluation of gold film on the sensing area surface of SPR fiber probe
[0098] 1. Preparation of gold film on the sensing area surface of SPR fiber probe
[0099] (1) SPR fiber probe pretreatment: Dabbing the surface of the SPR fiber probe sensing area (i.e. fiber base) with alcohol with a dust-free paper (the SPR fiber probe is purchased from Suzhou Feibo Sichuang Optoelectronic Technology Co., Ltd., specification: TZ-HP400-L37.7-6), then immerse the SPR fiber probe sensing area into water, anhydrous ethanol and acetone in turn for 5 min of ultrasonic, and then air dry at room temperature after ultrasonic.
[0100] (2) Hydroxylation of the SPR fiber probe: immerse the pretreated SPR fiber probe sensing area into 1 M sodium hydroxide aqueous solution for 1 hour, then wash with ultrapure water, and then wash with anhydrous ethanol, and then dry in an oven at 80℃ for 1 hour, and then take out the SPR fiber probe to restore to room temperature.
[0101] (3) Modification of the surface of the SPR fiber probe sensing area with 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MTS) to form a first medium layer: place the pretreated and hydroxylated SPR fiber probe into a 2% volume fraction MTS anhydrous ethanol solution, and then incubate on a shaking table at 37℃ for 2 h, so that the MTS and the silicon hydroxyl groups on the sensing area of the fiber SPR fiber probe undergo hydrolysis and condensation reaction to covalently connect, and then a layer of exposed mercapto groups is generated on the surface of the sensing area of the fiber probe, and then clean the surface of the fiber with anhydrous ethanol, and then dry with nitrogen.
[0102] (4) Gold plating of the SPR fiber probe to form a gold nanoparticle layer: use an SBC-12 small ion sputtering instrument (Beijing Zhongke Keyi Co., Ltd.) to perform gold plating on the sensing area of the SPR fiber probe, and the gold plating parameters are: current 15 mA, time 20 s (Process Engineering, 1-10 [2025-10-19]). The exposed mercapto groups on the sensing area of the SPR fiber probe form a gold-sulfur bond with the gold atoms of the gold film, which has a strong interaction.
[0103] In addition, without hydroxylation and MTS modification, the pretreated SPR fiber probe is directly gold plated according to the method of step (4) to obtain a control sample.
[0104] 2. Stability evaluation of the gold film on the sensing area surface of the prepared SPR fiber probe
[0105] The SPR fiber probe prepared in this example and the control sample are treated in the following manner (Process Engineering, 1-10 [2025-10-19]), and then the shedding of the gold film on the sensing area is observed.
[0106] (1) Thiol alkyl alcohol connection on the surface of the gold film of the sensing area: the sensing area was placed in 5 mM (1.02185 g / L) 11-thiol undecanol (solvent: 80% ethanol) and reacted at 40°C for 30 min. The optical fiber was taken out and washed repeatedly with 80% ethanol solution and deionized water to remove the residual solution on the surface and then dried with nitrogen.
[0107] (2) Epoxy group connection: the sensing area of the SPR optical fiber probe modified with thiol alkyl alcohol was placed in 0.6 M epichlorohydrin solution (solvent: 0.4 M sodium hydroxide solution and diethylene glycol dimethyl ether in a volume ratio of 1:1) and incubated at room temperature on a shaker for 4 h to form an epoxy group layer on the surface of the gold film of the sensing area of the SPR optical fiber probe. After incubation, the residual solution on the surface was removed by washing repeatedly with ultrapure water and 80% ethanol solution, and then dried with nitrogen.
[0108] (3) Dextran connection: the sensing area of the SPR optical fiber probe modified with the epoxy group was placed in 0.3 g / mL dextran (molecular weight 500000) solution (solvent: 0.1 M sodium hydroxide aqueous solution) and incubated at room temperature on a shaker for 20 h to form a dextran layer on the surface of the gold film of the sensing area of the SPR optical fiber probe by covalent bond. After incubation, the residual dextran on the surface of the SPR optical fiber probe was removed by washing with 50°C ultrapure water, and then dried with nitrogen.
[0109] (4) Carboxylation of dextran: the sensing area of the SPR optical fiber probe modified with dextran was placed in 1 M bromoacetic acid solution (solvent: 2 M sodium hydroxide aqueous solution) and incubated at room temperature on a shaker for 16 h to oxidize the hydroxyl group on the surface of the dextran to carboxyl group by the oxidizing property of bromoacetic acid.

[0131] Example 3 Preparation and characterization of ASF@AuNPs
[0132] Preparation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs): AuNPs were prepared according to Nature-Physical Science, 1973, 241(105):20-22. All glassware used (including stir bar) was soaked overnight in aqua regia (concentrated HC1: concentrated HNO3, 3: 1, v / v) to remove small seeds that could affect crystallization, and then rinsed with ultrapure water and dried in an oven for future use. Note that the aqua regia needs to be kept away from light during the overnight soaking, and the opening of the glassware needs to be tightly sealed with parafilm to prevent the evaporation of the aqua regia. 50 mL of 0.01% (w / v) chloroauric acid aqueous solution was added to a clean three-necked round-bottom flask, a stir bar was inserted, and a spherical condenser was connected. The solution was heated and stirred at 130 °C under oil bath with a rotation speed of 1100 rpm. After 30 min of reflux, 1.55 mL of 1% (w / v) sodium citrate aqueous solution was added quickly, and the solution was continuously refluxed for another 40 min. After 40 min, the heating was stopped, the rotation speed was adjusted to 600 rpm, and the solution was allowed to cool to room temperature. The solution was then aliquoted into 50 mL centrifuge tubes to obtain AuNPs. Subsequently, a small amount of AuNPs solution was used to characterize the plasmonic absorption peak of AuNPs by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. As shown in FIG. 1, the maximum UV-Vis absorption peak was at 520 nm. According to Anal. Chem. 2007, 79, 4215-4221, the size of AuNPs was calculated to be about 13 nm. The prepared AuNPs solution needed to be stored at 4 °C in the dark and used up within one month after preparation. Figure 2

This will successfully couple ASF with PEG NHS ester disulfide to form the ASF-PEG7-SS-PEG7-ASF complex. Take 10 mL of freshly prepared AuNPs, centrifuge at 12000 g for 20 min to remove the supernatant, and reconstitute the precipitate in 1.5 mL of 1.8 mM K2CO3 solution. Mix the above ASF-PEG7-SS-PEG7-ASF solution with the 1.8 mM K2CO3 solution of AuNPs thoroughly, incubate at room temperature in the dark for 4 h, then freeze at -20ºC for 2 h.

[0142] Example 5 Detection of ricin (RCA60) by antibody-glycoprotein sandwich method
[0143] In this example, the SPR fiber probe prepared in Example 2 of the present application was used to detect ricin (RCA60) by the antibody-glycoprotein sandwich method.
[0144] The signal transmission end of the SPR optical fiber probe prepared in Example 2 of the present application is connected with a light source and a spectrometer through an optical fiber to build a detection system. The light source used is a tungsten lamp light source (purchased from Hangzhou Jinhui Technology, FLE1003). The spectrometer used is purchased from Hangzhou Jinhui Technology, FLA5300, 2048 line array CCD detection, wavelength range 350-1100 nm, 70 μm slit, wavelength resolution 0.1 nm. The optical fiber used is HF400 / 430-37 type multimode optical fiber, purchased from Beijing Feibosida Technology, numerical aperture 0.37, core diameter 400 μm.
[0145] During detection, the SPR optical fiber probe is brought into contact with the sample to be detected, and the light emitted from the light source is transmitted to the optical fiber probe through the optical fiber, reaches the sensing area through continuous reflection in the optical fiber probe, and the signal generated by the interaction between the optical fiber probe and the analyte in the sample to be detected is received by the spectrometer.
[0146] The principle of detecting RCA60 by the antibody-glycoprotein sandwich method is described as follows. After the carboxyl groups of dextran on the sensing area of the SPR optical fiber probe prepared in Example 2 are activated, protein A is coupled through the amino group, and protein A can recognize and capture the Fc segment of recombinant anti-ricin humanized monoclonal antibody (MIL50, anti-ricin neutralizing monoclonal antibody 4C13 humanized antibody, donated by the research group of Professor Feng Jiannan, Academy of Military Medical Sciences, Chinese People's Liberation Army), so that the Fab segment is exposed. MIL50 recognizes and captures the A chain of RCA60 in the sample to be detected through the Fab segment, ASF can specifically recognize and bind the B chain of RCA60, and MIL50 and ASF form a sandwich structure by recognizing different fragments of RCA60.
[0147] The SPR optical fiber probe prepared in Example 2 of the present application uses wavelength modulation, white light of a tungsten lamp light source is used as incident light, and irradiation is carried out at a fixed incident angle, the change in reflectivity at different wavelengths is detected by a spectrometer, and a spectral curve of reflectivity changing with wavelength can be obtained. The wavelength corresponding to the minimum reflectivity is the SPR resonance wavelength at the corresponding incident angle. When the refractive index of the solution on the surface of the sensing area of the gold film changes, the resonance condition changes, and the corresponding resonance wavelength red shifts (the wavelength increases). In this example, the antibody MIL50 is fixed on the surface of the sensing area of the SPR optical fiber probe, and MIL50 captures the analyte (RCA60) in the sample to be detected, so that the medium refractive index on the surface of the sensing area of the SPR optical fiber probe changes, the resonance wavelength red shifts, and the red shift amount is positively correlated with the capture amount of the analyte. Similarly, the MIL50-RCA60 complex is coupled with ASF in the ASF@AuNPs to form a sandwich complex, which also produces a resonance wavelength red shift signal. By detecting the red shift signal, qualitative and quantitative detection of the analyte can be achieved.
[0148] The detection steps are as follows:
[0149] (1) Activation of carboxyl groups of dextran: The SPR fiber probe sensing region modified with carboxylated dextran prepared in Example 2 was immersed in EDC / NHS (EDC: 37.5 mg / mL, NHS: 5.75 mg / mL, dissolved in water) activation reagent for 30 min.

Protein A was connected to the activated carboxyl group through its amino group.
[0151] (3) Detection of RCA60 by antibody (MIL50)-glycoprotein (ASF) sandwich method: The SPR fiber probe sensing region was immersed in different reagents in the following order and time to realize the detection of RCA60:
[0152] ① PBS buffer (10 mM, 0.8% NaCl, pH 7.2~7.4): 2 min

The SA was coupled to the activated carboxyl groups through amino coupling. After the coupling was completed, the SPR fiber probe sensing region was immersed in acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer, and the red shift amount of the SPR absorption peak in the acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer before and after the two immersions was observed to determine whether the SA was successfully coupled to the fiber sensing region and the coupling amount.
