An immunoassay was developed for ochratoxin A (OTA) detection in wine and two completely different detection methods were compared: ICP-MS and photometry. For labelling, we applied secondary antibodies conjugated with gold nanoparticles for ICP-MS and with horseradish peroxidase for photometric detection, respectively. Detection limits of the assay were determined as 0.003 µg L-1 for both detection methods. OTA in wine was determined below the EU limit value of 2 µg kg-1. The measurement range was between 0.01 and 1 µg L-1 for ICP-MS and photometric detection. Assay precision detected by ICP-MS and photometry were similar showing that precision of the detection method has only a minor effect on total assay precision. By using BSA as a buffer additive to minimize nonspecific binding, we could also confirm that OTA strongly binds to BSA. In a comparison study of several additives, casein was found to be preferable.
Online immunocapture ICP‑MS for the determination of the metalloprotein ceruloplasmin in human serum
(2018)
The human copper-protein ceruloplasmin (Cp) is the major copper-containing protein in the human body. The accurate determination of Cp is mandatory for the reliable diagnosis of several diseases. However, the analysis of Cp has proven to be difficult. The aim of our work was a proof of concept for the determination of a metalloprotein-based on online immunocapture ICP-MS. The immuno-affinity step is responsible for the enrichment and isolation of the analyte from serum, whereas the compound-independent quantitation with ICP-MS delivers the sensitivity,
precision, and large dynamic range. Off-line ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) was used in parallel to confirm the elution profile of the analyte with a structure-selective method. The total protein elution was observed with the 32S mass trace. The ICP-MS signals were normalized on a 59Co signal. The human copper-protein Cp could be selectively determined. This was shown with pure Cp and with a sample of human serum. The good correlation with off-line ELISA shows that Cp could be captured and eluted selectively from the anti-Cp affinity column and subsequently determined by the copper signal of ICP-MS.
