传感器类型
表面等离子共振(SPR)生物传感器
检测对象
人生长激素(human growth hormone, hGH);样品基质:人血清(另用兔血清评估基质效应)
检测原理
该传感器采用无标记SPR免疫抑制分析。金芯片表面经MUA自组装形成羧基端单分子层,再用EDC/NHS活化并将重组hGH共价固定为竞争抗原。检测时,样品中的hGH与固定量mAb hGH-12预孵育;样品hGH浓度越高,抗体被占据越多,能结合到固定hGH上的抗体越少,传感表面结合质量降低。SPR通过监测表面质量/折射率变化产生响应,因此信号随hGH浓度升高而下降。方法不使用荧光或酶标记放大,而是通过高盐、高pH和Tween 20缓冲液降低血清非特异结合,并用强再生液恢复表面。
检测灵敏度
LOD: 6 ng/mL(人血清);4 ng/mL(PBST缓冲液);线性范围: 18–542 ng/mL(PBST缓冲液);血清工作范围: 6 ng/mL–1.3 μg/mL;R^2 = 0.985(与ELISA对比)
效应效果
非特异抗体响应可忽略,表明固定hGH单分子层选择性良好;PBST-S缓冲液使血清非特异结合降低88%,同时保留90%抗体信号。批内平均RSD低于3%,批间平均RSD为1.87%,所有个体变异低于5%;不同芯片间平均CV为2.19%。缓冲液中传感器可稳定使用100次以上,最大信号下降7%;血清中可连续使用50次以上,最大信号下降17%。10份真实血清样品中5份低于6 ng/mL检测限,其余5份与ELISA高度一致(R2 = 0.985),可识别低于10 ng/mL切值并定量高于切值样品,适用于临床即时诊断。

英文摘要
A surface plasmon resonance immunoassay has been developed to determine human growth hormone (hGH) directly and without pre-treatment in human serum samples. A binding inhibition immunoassay was employed. Antibody concentration, assay buffer and regeneration solution have been optimized in order to reach the best performance and the lower non-specific binding of the matrix components to the sensor surface. The lowest detection limit was 6 ng/mL, with a working range covering the physiological range. Reproducibility of the assay was excellent with both intra-assay and inter-assay relative standard deviations <5%, while a variation of 2.19% was obtained employing different sensor chips. Reutilization of the sensor surface allows its continuous use over 50 measurements with a signal drop <20%. The SPR immunoassay results were validated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) showing an excellent correlation (R(2)=0.985). A portable and fully automated system (Sensia SL) was employed in this work. This is the first SPR biosensor assay capable of detecting relevant concentrations of a clinical analyte in serum. This study shows the potentials of this device as a diagnostic tool for the detection of multiple clinical analytes.
