Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology and Biosensor Development
  • Molecular Virology
  • Surface Chemistry

Background:

  • Foot-and-mouth-disease virus (FMDV) poses a significant threat to livestock globally.
  • Rapid and sensitive diagnostic tools are crucial for FMDV control.
  • Self-assembled monolayers on gold electrodes offer a versatile platform for biosensor fabrication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel biosensor for the detection of FMDV specific antibodies.
  • To investigate the use of a modified synthetic peptide derived from FMDV VP1 protein for antibody recognition.
  • To evaluate the performance of the biosensor in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and reusability.

Main Methods:

  • A synthetic peptide (amino acid sequence 135-154) from FMDV VP1 protein was synthesized and modified with omega-hydroxyundecanethiol.

  • Modified and non-derivatized omega-hydroxyundecanethiol were co-adsorbed onto gold electrodes to form self-assembled monolayers.
  • Binding of specific antibodies to the peptide layer was monitored using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and capacitance measurements.
  • Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used to block non-specific binding sites.
  • A 6 M urea solution was employed to dissociate the antibody-peptide complex for sensor regeneration.

    • Main Results:

    • The self-assembled peptide layer on gold electrodes successfully captured specific antibodies.
    • Electrochemical measurements (impedance and capacitance) effectively monitored antibody binding.
    • Non-specific binding was minimized through the use of BSA.
    • The biosensor demonstrated the ability to detect antibody binding repeatedly after regeneration with urea.
    • The immobilized peptide could be recognized by specific antibodies multiple times, indicating sensor reusability.

    Conclusions:

    • A robust and reusable biosensor platform for FMDV antibody detection was successfully developed.
    • The modified peptide on gold electrodes serves as an effective recognition element for specific antibodies.
    • Electrochemical techniques coupled with self-assembled monolayers provide a sensitive method for FMDV diagnostics.
