Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs), also called nanozymes, are very attractive as an alternative to horseradish peroxidase in immunoassay development due to their simple and low-cost synthesis, stability and high catalytic activity. Today, there is a method for highly effective PBNP synthesis based on the reduction of an FeCl/K[Fe(CN)] mixture by hydrogen peroxide. However, there is a lack of research showcasing the use of these highly effective PBNPs for specific target detection in clinical settings, as well as a lack of comprehensive comparisons with conventional methods. To address this gap, we prepared diagnostic reagents based on highly effective PBNPs by modifying them using gelatin and attaching anti-C-reactive protein (CRP) monoclonal antibodies through cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. As a result, a solid-phase colorimetric immunoassay in a sandwich format (nanozyme-linked immunosorbent assay [NLISA]) using highly effective PBNPs as a label for CRP detection has been demonstrated for the first time. The assay demonstrated a detection limit of 21.8 pg/mL, along with acceptable selectivity, precision (CV < 25%) and accuracy (the recovery index was within acceptable limits (75-125%) for LLOQ /ULOQ range. The analytical performance of this method is on par with sensitive assays developed in the last 5 years. Notably, the results obtained from NLISA align with those from an immunofluorescence assay conducted by a certified clinical laboratory. Furthermore, this study underscores the technological challenges involved in constructing an analysis that necessitate further exploration.
普鲁士蓝纳米粒子(PBNPs),也称为纳米酶,由于其简单、低成本的合成、稳定性和高催化活性,作为辣根过氧化物酶在免疫测定开发中的替代品非常有吸引力。如今,有一种基于过氧化氢还原 FeCl/K[Fe(CN)6]混合物的高效 PBNP 合成方法。然而,缺乏在临床环境中使用这些高效 PBNPs 进行特定目标检测的研究,也缺乏与传统方法的全面比较。为了解决这一差距,我们通过使用明胶修饰高效 PBNPs 并通过戊二醛交联将抗 C 反应蛋白(CRP)单克隆抗体附着在其上,制备了基于高效 PBNPs 的诊断试剂。结果,首次证明了使用高效 PBNPs 作为 CRP 检测标记的固相比色免疫测定(夹心型纳米酶联免疫吸附测定[NLISA])。该测定法的检测限为 21.8 pg/mL,同时具有可接受的选择性、精密度(CV<25%)和准确性(LLOQ/ULOQ 范围内的回收率指数在可接受范围内(75-125%)。该方法的分析性能与过去 5 年开发的敏感测定法相当。值得注意的是,NLISA 获得的结果与经认证的临床实验室进行的免疫荧光测定结果一致。此外,本研究强调了构建分析所涉及的技术挑战,需要进一步探索。
