Abstract:

Nanogold particles (NG) were modified by anti-rabbit antibody (RAb) against human chorionic gonadotropin to obtain an immunonanogold probe (ING). In pH 7.0 Na2HPO4-citrate buffer solution containing KCl, ING probes formed large aggregates in which Victoria blue B (VBB) molecules were adsorbed on the surface and which exhibited strong surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) at a peak of 1612 cm(-1). After addition of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) an immune reaction with the ING probe occurred to form dispersive ING-hCG complexes with non-SERS activity that led to a decreased SERS peak at 1612 cm(-1). The decreased SERS intensity was linear to the concentration of hCG over 2.4-73.2 ng/mL. The ING reaction was studied in detail by SERS, scanning electron microscope (SEM), resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS), surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption and laser scattering techniques. SERS quenching was observed and discussed.

Labeling DNA Probes

Labeling DNA Probes

DNA probes are fragments of DNA labeled with a reporter tag to enable their detection or purification. The resulting labeled DNA probes can then hybridize to target nucleic acid sequences through complementary base-pairing, and may be used to recover or identify these regions.
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...

Immunogold Electron Microscopy

Immunogold Electron Microscopy

Immunoelectron microscopy utilizes immunogold labeling of endogenous proteins with specific antibodies to detect and localize these proteins in cells and tissues. The procedure provides insights into the distribution and quantification of protein under different stimulation conditions offering clues about their functions. Conjugating highly electron-dense gold particles with primary or secondary antibodies allow antigen detection on and within cells, with high resolution and specificity.
