This study introduces lightweight polystyrene@polydopamine (PS@PDA) nanoparticles for enhanced enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). These nanoparticles improve sensitivity and reduce background noise for detecting biomarkers like interleukin-17A in psoriasis.

Area of Science:

Biomaterials Science
Analytical Chemistry
Immunotechnology

Background:

Nanoparticles enhance enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) sensitivity by carrying antibodies and enzymes.
Traditional nanoparticles (e.g., AuNPs) often lead to high background signals and poor reproducibility in ELISA due to density and complex modification.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel, lightweight nanoparticle carrier (PS@PDA) for improved ELISA performance.
To create a stable and highly efficient bio-conjugate for sensitive detection of low-abundant biomarkers.
To establish a PS@PDA-based ELISA for detecting interleukin-17A (IL-17A) in psoriasis patients' samples.

Main Methods:

Functional lightweight nanoparticle polystyrene@polydopamine (PS@PDA) was synthesized.

Keywords:

ELISA IL-17A PS@PDA Nanoparticles Signal amplification

PS@PDA was functionalized to form PS@PDA@Ab2/HRP bio-conjugates for antibody and enzyme loading.

A sandwich ELISA was developed using PS@PDA bio-conjugates to detect IL-17A.

Main Results:

PS@PDA bio-conjugates exhibited good dispersion, low background signal, and high loading efficiency.
The PS@PDA-based ELISA achieved a sensitive dynamic range (0.3–80 pg/mL) and a low detection limit (0.2 pg/mL) for IL-17A.
IL-17A levels were successfully quantified in diluted serum samples from psoriasis patients.

Conclusions:

PS@PDA nanoparticles offer superior performance over traditional carriers in ELISA, providing higher sensitivity and stability.
This PS@PDA-based ELISA method is promising for the sensitive detection of low-abundant biomarkers, including IL-17A in psoriasis.
The developed method significantly reduces background interference, enhancing the reliability of ELISA for clinical diagnostics.
