Heterodimeric aptamer improves the limit of detection of sandwich ELASA and dot blot assay
Heterodimerization, which is an amalgamation of discrete aptamers into a single functional module is a viable strategy to augment the binding strength of aptamers. In this study, we sought to derive several heterodimeric aptamers using the discrete aptamers, LepDapt-2a and LepDapt-5a prior to their binding evaluation against the target LipL32. We further integrated heterodimeric aptamer LepDapt-H1b as a detection aptamer into aptamer-based sandwich ELASA and dot blot assay for the detection of Leptospira, attaining a LOD of 4 and 10 CFU/mL for both assays, respectively, which are better compared to our previous study. Additionally, the LOQ acquired for sandwich ELASA assay was 11 CFU/mL. We have proven that heterodimerization has improved the performance of sandwich ELASA and dot blot assay, suggesting them to be applicable for the diagnostics of leptospirosis.
期刊介绍:
The journal''s title Analytical Biochemistry: Methods in the Biological Sciences declares its broad scope: methods for the basic biological sciences that include biochemistry, molecular genetics, cell biology, proteomics, immunology, bioinformatics and wherever the frontiers of research take the field.
The emphasis is on methods from the strictly analytical to the more preparative that would include novel approaches to protein purification as well as improvements in cell and organ culture. The actual techniques are equally inclusive ranging from aptamers to zymology.
The journal has been particularly active in:
-Analytical techniques for biological molecules-
Aptamer selection and utilization-
Biosensors-
Chromatography-
Cloning, sequencing and mutagenesis-
Electrochemical methods-
Electrophoresis-
Enzyme characterization methods-
Immunological approaches-
Mass spectrometry of proteins and nucleic acids-
Metabolomics-
Nano level techniques-
Optical spectroscopy in all its forms.
The journal is reluctant to include most drug and strictly clinical studies as there are more suitable publication platforms for these types of papers.
