Several important markers from ocular fluid have been identified as having significant clinical diagnostic value for various diseases. The contact lens is disposable, relatively cheap and serves as a platform to obtain direct intimate contact with ocular fluid and is therefore an attractive and a promising platform for point-of-care diagnostic tests. Here, we present an entirely new concept of a wearable theranostic device, in the form of a contact lens (theranostic lens) with a dual-function hybrid surface, to modulate and detect a pathogenic attack by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). The theranostic lenses were constructed using a Layer-by-Layer (LbL) surface engineering technique to produce a functional hybrid surface containing both an anti-HSV-1 polysulfonate compound and specific antibodies for viral detection. The resulting theranostic lenses retained good optically transparency and surface wettability, and were non-toxic towards human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs). We showed that the theranostic lenses could capture and concentrate interleukin-1α (IL-1α), which is upregulated during HSV-1 infection, using an artificial cornea model integrated with a microfluidic system mimicking tear flow. The theranostics lenses exhibited effective anti-HSV-1 activity and good analytical performance for the detection of IL-1α, with a limit of detection of 1.43 pg mL^-1 and a wide linear range covering the clinically relevant region. Our strategy also tackles the major problems in tear diagnostics that are associated with the small volumes from tear sampling and the low concentration of biomarkers in these samples. This work offers a new paradigm for wearable, non-invasive healthcare devices combining diagnosis and protection against disease. We believe that this approach holds promise as a next-generation, point-of-care and de-centralized diagnostic/theranostic platform for a range of biomarkers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101042,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.protcy.2017.04.009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88512137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The time consuming and costly conventional diagnostics methods substantiate the need to develop a cost-effective rapid infectious disease detection platform to address the persistently threatening health issues in developing countries. The recent advancements in nanotechnology and biosensing have manifested the potential to deliver an effective point-of-care diagnostics platform. In this work, the synthesis and fabrication of an ultrasensitive Copper doped Zinc oxide nanofiber based biosensing platform is reported. Copper doped Zinc oxide nanofibers are synthesized by simple electrospinning technique with fiber diameter of 100-200<!--> <!-->nm. The structural and morphological characteristics of the nanofibres are studied using X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The label free detection of HRP2 protein with the Copper doped Zinc Oxide nanofiber has been investigated by Differential pulse voltammetric technique. Mercaptopropionic acid treatment of Copper doped Zinc oxide nanofiber generates carboxylic acid groups, which facilitate the covalent conjugation of Anti-HRP2. To the best of our knowledge, the fabricated immunosensor displays better sensitivity than the best malaria sensor reported in the literature based on different nanomaterials and different detection mechanism. The proposed platform exhibits very low limit of detection of 10 attogram per ml for the targeted HRP2 protein in a wide detection test range (ag/ml -μg/ml). The novel biosensor platform demonstrates good stability and selectivity which can be implemented for point-of-care diagnosis of biomarkers related to other infectious diseases.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101042,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.protcy.2017.04.092","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77570613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
