Inexpensive, simple and quick detection of pathogen antigens in human samples is a key global health objective. Limiting factors include the cost and complexity of diagnostic tests that utilize antibody probes. Herein, we present a method for label-free electrochemical detection of a protein from the enteric pathogen Entamoeba histolytica using cell-free yeast-embedded antibody-like fragments (yeast-scFv) as novel affinity reagents.
在人体样本中快速、简便、廉价地检测病原体抗原是一个全球性的健康目标。但目前的诊断检测方法受到成本和复杂性的限制,这些方法通常使用抗体探针。本研究提出了一种新的方法,即利用无标记的、基于细胞游离酵母嵌入抗体样片段(yeast-scFv)的电化学检测方法,对肠道病原体溶组织内阿米巴的一种蛋白进行检测。
