Immunofluorescence Microscopy01:12

Immunofluorescence Microscopy

9.9K
A fluorescence microscope uses fluorescent chromophores called fluorochromes, which can absorb energy from a light source and then emit this energy as visible light. Fluorochromes include naturally fluorescent substances (such as chlorophylls) and fluorescent stains that are added to the specimen to create contrast. Dyes such as Texas red and FITC are examples of fluorochromes. Other examples include the nucleic acid dyes 4’,6’-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), and acridine orange.

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay

12.5K
In 1971, Peter Perlman and Eva Engvall developed an Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA or EIA). ELISA differs from western blot in that the assays are conducted in microtiter plates or in vivo rather than on an absorbent membrane.
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen.  Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or...

  • Current methods face challenges in sensitivity and specificity for detecting viral antigens.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel immunoassay system utilizing magnetic and fluorescent Janus particles.
  • To improve the sensitivity and reliability of detecting viral antigens, specifically SARS-CoV-2.

Main Methods:

  • Conjugation of antibodies to magnetic and fluorescent Janus particles.
  • Integration of Janus particles with an antibody-immobilized microfluidic device.
  • Quantification of antigen-antibody complex formation via fluorescence detection.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a detection limit of 3.1 ng/mL for differentiating SARS-CoV-2 from human coronavirus 229E.
  • Demonstrated high signal stability with a standard deviation of less than 5%.
  • Validated the efficacy of Janus particles as probes in a microfluidic immunoassay.

Conclusions:

  • The developed immunofluorescent probe and immunoassay system offer high sensitivity and stability.
