A novel immunosensor detects vitellogenin (Vg) in flatfish using optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy. This method offers sensitive and specific Vg detection for environmental monitoring.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Environmental Science
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Vitellogenin (Vg) is a biomarker for endocrine disruption in aquatic organisms.
  • Accurate detection of Vg is crucial for assessing environmental health.
  • Existing methods for Vg detection can be complex and time-consuming.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a sensitive and specific immunosensor for detecting vitellogenin (Vg) in seawater flatfish (Paralichthys olivaceus).
  • To establish a rapid and reliable method for Vg quantification in environmental samples.

Main Methods:

  • Purification of flatfish Vg using anion-exchange chromatography.
  • Development of an anti-flatfish Vg antibody.
  • Fabrication of an optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy-based immunosensor utilizing a grating coupler sensor chip.

  • Measurement of sensor response based on the change in incoupling angle upon Vg-antibody complexation.

    • Main Results:

    • The immunosensor demonstrated high specificity, with no response to bovine serum albumin.
    • A linear sensor response was observed for Vg concentrations ranging from 0.00675 to 67.5 nM.
    • The detection limit for Vg was determined to be 0.0675 nM.
    • The immunosensor showed reasonable reusability over seven repetitive measurements.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy-based immunosensor is a sensitive and specific tool for detecting vitellogenin in flatfish.
    • This technology holds promise for preliminary screening and environmental monitoring of endocrine disruptors in aquatic ecosystems.
    • The method offers a viable alternative to traditional Vg detection techniques.
