Abstract
The high toxicity and widespread contamination of ochratoxin A (OTA) make it urgent to develop a sensitive method to detect trace OTA in complex food matrices. Herein, an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (icELISA)-based on the CRISPR/Cas12a system is described. DNA amplicons with multiple activation sequences of the CRISPR/Cas12a system were pre-prepared to improve detection sensitivity. In the absence of OTA, streptavidin-mediated biotinylated DNA amplicons were captured by the biotinylated secondary antibody on the microplate. The captured DNA amplicons activated the CRISPR/Cas12a system, which thereby effectively cleaved the reporter DNA, producing strong fluorescence. The presence of OTA led to a decrease in DNA amplicons on the microplate, resulting in a decrease in activated Cas12a and ultimately a drop in fluorescence intensity. OTA in food matrices at nanogram per milliliter levels can be detected. Therefore, the new method has great potential in monitoring OTA.
赭曲霉毒素 A(OTA)毒性高,污染范围广,因此迫切需要开发一种灵敏的方法来检测复杂食品基质中的痕量 OTA。本文介绍了一种基于 CRISPR/Cas12a 系统的间接竞争性酶联免疫吸附测定法(icELISA)。为提高检测灵敏度,预先制备了具有多个 CRISPR/Cas12a 系统激活序列的 DNA 扩增子。在没有 OTA 的情况下,链霉亲和素介导的生物素化 DNA 扩增子被微孔板上的生物素化二抗捕获。捕获的 DNA 扩增子激活了 CRISPR/Cas12a 系统,从而有效地裂解了报告 DNA,产生了强烈的荧光。OTA 的存在导致微孔板上的 DNA 扩增子减少,从而导致激活的 Cas12a 减少,最终导致荧光强度下降。食品基质中的 OTA 可达到每毫升毫微克的水平。因此,这种新方法在监测 OTA 方面具有很大的潜力。
