Yersinia pestis, causing deadly plague, is classified as a group A bioterrorism bacterium. Some recent DNA-based methods were used for detection of bioterrorism agents.
Y. pestis was used as a model organism to develop an immunosensor based on surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) using monoclonal antibody against Y. pestis F1 antigen. The experimental approach included step-by-step detection of Y. pestis membrane proteins, lysed bacteria, intact bacteria, mock-infected powder and mock-infected clinical specimens. SPRi detected on average 10(6) intact Y. pestis organisms in buffer, in mock-infected powder and in a 1:4 mixture with HEL cells.
This study offers the proof-of-concept of the SPRi-based detection of a human pathogen in both environmental and clinical specimens.
导致致命鼠疫的鼠疫耶尔森菌被归类为A类生物恐怖主义细菌。最近一些基于DNA的方法被用于检测生物恐怖主义病原体。
鼠疫耶尔森菌被用作模式生物,以开发一种基于表面等离子体共振成像(SPRi)的免疫传感器,该传感器使用针对鼠疫耶尔森菌F1抗原的单克隆抗体。实验方法包括逐步检测鼠疫耶尔森菌膜蛋白、裂解细菌、完整细菌、模拟感染粉末和模拟感染临床标本。SPRi平均检测到缓冲液、模拟感染粉末以及与HEL细胞按1:4混合的样本中10⁶个完整的鼠疫耶尔森菌。
本研究提供了基于SPRi在环境和临床标本中检测人类病原体的概念验证。
