Assessment of Particle-based Luminescent Reporters in Sandwich Immunoassays

  • Immunoassays are an important field of in vitro diagnostics, as they allow for a fast and highly sensitive detection of many biologically and diagnostically relevant analytes such as proteins, hormones, and pharmaceuticals. Fluorescence immunoassays (FIA), where the antibodies and/or antigens are labeled with luminescent reporters, can be easily read out directly by measuring the intensity, decay time, or polarization of the emitted light. Moreover, FIA enable the simultaneous detection of different analytes within a single sample (multiplexing) and are particularly suited for point-of-care (POC) diagnostics and high throughput screening (HTS). The application of luminescent nanoparticles as reporters in FIA could further improve assay sensitivity, as several 100 to 1000 luminophores can be incorporated or attached to such nanoscale carriers, thereby amplifying their absorption and/or emission signals simply by increasing the number of dye molecules.

The application of luminescent nanoparticles as reporters in FIA could further improve assay sensitivity, as several 100 to 1000 luminophores can be incorporated or attached to such nanoscale carriers, thereby amplifying their absorption and/or emission signals simply by increasing the number of dye molecules. Although dye-loaded polymeric and silica nanoparticles have been increasingly used as reporters in immunoassays, achievable signal amplification factors related to the use of particle reporters are still difficult to predict and quantify, which also hampers the comparability of different nanoscale reporters. To overcome this challenge, we performed a systematic comparison of spectroscopically and analytically well characterized particle labels in a homogeneous sandwich immunoassay format for the detection of the common inflammation biomarker C-reactive protein (CRP). Hereby, we studied the influence of particle parameters like size, surface chemistry, and dye loading concentration for different dye classes, i.e. organic dyes and metal ligand complexes, varying in their signal-relevant spectroscopic properties (molar absorption coefficients, photoluminescence quantum yields, Stokes shifts, and emission decay times), for different detection schemes (direct read-out vs. dye extraction). The emitters applied were chosen to be commercially available for a reasonable price, to absorb between 400 nm and 450 nm, and to emit in the visible region, as these parameters are accessible with most established microplate readers. Based upon our findings, we highlight the advantages and limitations of nanoscale reporters with respect to the choice of suitable particles, encoding dyes, and detection strategies, and compare the achievable sensitivities and dynamic ranges for our CRP model immunoassay.zeige mehrzeige weniger
