Item Electrochemical immunosensor for simultaneous determination of interleukin-1 beta and tumor necrosis factor alpha in serum and saliva using dual screen printed electrodes modified with functionalized double–walled carbon nanotubes(Analytica Chimica Acta, 2016) Sánchez Tirado, Esther; Salvo, Coral; González Cortés, Araceli; Yáñez Sedeño, Paloma; Langa, Fernando; Pingarrón Carrazón, José ManuelDual screen-printed carbon electrodes modified with 4-carboxyphenyl-functionalized double-walled carbon nanotubes (HOOC-Phe-DWCNTs/SPCEs) have been used as scaffolds for the preparation of electrochemical immunosensors for the simultaneous determination of the cytokines Interleukin-1b (IL-1b) and factor necrosis tumor a (TNF-a). IL-1b. Capture antibodies were immobilized onto HOOC-Phe DWCNTs/SPCEs in an oriented form making using the commercial polymeric coating Mix&Go™. Sandwich type immunoassays with amperometric signal amplification through the use of poly-HRPstreptavidin conjugates and H2O2 as HRP substrate and hydroquinone as redox mediator were implemented. Upon optimization of the experimental variables affecting the immunosensor performance, the dual immunosensor allows ranges of linearity extending between 0.5 and 100 pg/mL and from 1 to 200 pg/mL for IL-1b and TNF-a, respectively, these ranges being adequate for the determination of the cytokines in clinical samples. The achieved limits of detection were 0.38 pg/mL (IL-1b) and 0.85 pg/mL (TNF-a). In addition, the dual immunosensor exhibits excellent reproducibility of the measurements, storage stability of the anti-IL-Phe-DWCNTs/SPCE and anti-TNF-Phe-DWCNTs/SPCE conjugates, and selectivity as well as negligible cross-talking. The dual immunosensor was applied to the simultaneous determination of IL-1b and TNF-a in human serum spiked at clinically relevant concentration levels and in real saliva samples.Item Rapid micromotor-based naked-eye immunoassay(Talanta, 2017) Esteban Fernandez de Avila, Berta; Zhao, Mingjiao; Campuzano, Susana; Ricci, Francesco; Pingarrón Carrazón, José Manuel; Mascini, Marcelo; Wang, JosephA dynamic micromotor-based immunoassay, exemplified by cortisol detection, based on the use of tubular micromotors functionalized with a specific antibody is described. The use of antibody-functionalized micromotors offers huge acceleration of both direct and competitive cortisol immunoassays, along with greatly enhanced sensitivity of direct and competitive immunoassays. The dramatically improved speed and sensitivity reflect the greatly increased likelihood of antibody-cortisol contacts and fluid mixing associated with the dynamic movement of these microtube motors and corresponding bubble generation that lead to a highly efficient and rapid recognition process. Rapid naked-eye detection of cortisol in the sample is achieved in connection to use of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) tag and TMB/H2O2 system. Key parameters of the competitive immunoassay (e.g., incubation time and reaction volume) were optimized. This fast visual micromotor-based sensing approach enables “on the move” specific detection of the target cortisol down to 0.1 μg mL−1 in just 2 min, using ultrasmall (50 µL) sample volumes.Item Electrochemical sensor for rapid determination of fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 in raw cancer cell lysates(PLOS ONE, 2017) Khodarahmi, Reza; Torrente Rodríguez, Rebeca M.; Ruiz-Valdepeñas Montiel, Víctor; Campuzano, Susana; Pedrero Muñoz, María; Farchado, Meryem; Vargas, Eva; Manuel de Villena, F. Javier; Garranzo Asensio, María; Barderas, Rodrigo; Pingarrón Carrazón, José ManuelThe first electrochemical immunosensor for the determination of fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) biomarker is reported in this work. The biosensor involves a sandwich configuration with covalent immobilization of a specific capture antibody onto activated carboxylic-modified magnetic microcarriers (HOOC-MBs) and amperometric detection at disposable carbon screen-printed electrodes (SPCEs). The biosensor exhibits a great analytical performance regarding selectivity for the target protein and a low LOD of 48.2 pg mL-1. The electrochemical platform was successfully applied for the determination of FGFR4 in different cancer cell lysates without any apparent matrix effect after a simple sample dilution and using only 2.5 μg of the raw lysate. Comparison of the results with those provided by a commercial ELISA kit shows competitive advantages by using the developed immunosensor in terms of simplicity, analysis time, and portability and cost-affordability of the required instrumentation for the accurate determination of FGFR4 in cell lysates.Item Magnetic multiwalled carbon nanotubes as nanocarrier tags for sensitive determination of fetuin in saliva(Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 2018) Sánchez Tirado, E; Gónzalez Cortés, A; Yáñez Sedeño, Paloma; Pingarrón Carrazón, José ManuelThis paper reports the development and performance of an electrochemical immunosensor using magnetic multiwalled carbon nanotubes (m-MWCNTs) as nanocarrier tags for the determination of human fetuin A (HFA), a relevant biomarker of obesity, insulin resistance, and type-2 diabetes as well as for pancreatic and liver cancers and inflammatory processes. Screen-printed carbon electrodes were grafted with p-aminobezoic acid and streptavidin was covalently immobilized on the electrode surface. A biotinylated capture antibody was immobilized through streptavidin-biotin interaction and a sandwich assay configuration was implemented using m-MWCNTs conjugated with HRP and anti-HFA antibodies as the detection label. The determination of HFA was accomplished by measuring the current produced by the electrochemical reduction of benzoquinone at -200 mV upon addition of H2O2 as HRP substrate. The prepared m-MWCNTs were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD and EDS. All the steps involved in the immunosensor preparation were monitored by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. A linear calibration plot for HFA was found between 20 and 2000 pg/mL with a LOD value of 16 pg/mL. This performance is notably better than that reported for an ELISA kit and a chronoimpedimetric immunosensor. The favorable contribution of m-MWCNTs in comparison with MWCNTs without incorporated magnetic particles to this excellent analytical performance is also highlighted. The immunosensor selectivity against other proteins and potentially interfering compounds was excellent. In addition, the usefulness of the immunosensor was demonstrated by the analysis of HFA in saliva with minimal sample treatment.Item Electrochemical immunosensor for sensitive determination of transforming growth factor (TGF) - β1 in urine(Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 2017) Sánchez Tirado, E.; Martínez García, G.; González Cortés, Araceli; Yáñez Sedeño, Paloma; Pingarrón Carrazón, José ManuelThe first amperometric immunosensor for the quantification of TGF-β1, a cytokine proposed as a biomarker for patients having or at risk for renal disease, is described in this work. The immunosensor design involves disposable devices using carboxylic acid-functionalized magnetic microparticles supported onto screen-printed carbon electrodes and covalent immobilization of the specific antibody for TGF-β1 using Mix&Go polymer. A sandwich-type immunoassay was performed using biotin-anti-TGF and conjugation with peroxidase-labeled streptavidin (poly-HRP-Strept) polymer. Amperometric measurements were carried out at 0.20 V by adding hydrogen peroxide solution onto the electrode surface in the presence of hydroquinone as the redox mediator. The calibration plot allowed a range of linearity extending between 15 and 3000 pg/mL TGF-β1 which is adequate for the determination of the cytokine in plasma and urine. The limit of detection, 10 pg/mL, is notably improved with respect to those obtained with ELISA kits. The usefulness of the immunosensor for the determination of low TGF-β1 concentrations in real samples was evaluated by analyzing spiked urine at different pg/mL concentration levels.Item Disposable electrochemical biosensors for Brettanomyces bruxellensis and total yeast content in wine based on core-shell magnetic nanoparticles(Sensors & Actuators: B. Chemical, 2018) Villalonga, María L.; Borisova, Boryana; Arenas, Christian B.; Villalonga, Anabel; Arévalo-Villena, María; Sánchez Sánchez, Alfredo; Pingarrón Carrazón, José Manuel; Briones-Pérez, Ana; Villalonga Santana, ReynaldoTwo different disposable amperometric biosensors for the rapid detection and quantification of Brettanomyces bruxellensis (Brett) and total yeast content in wine were constructed. The biosensing approach implied the use of magnetic capturing elements based on core-shell Fe3O4@SiO2 superparamagnetic nanoparticles (NanoCaptors) functionalized with specific bioreceptors: Concanavalin A (Con A) for total yeast analysis, and anti-Brett polyclonal antibodies for Brett. A Con A-peroxidase conjugate and carbon screen printed electrodes were used as signaling element and sensing interfaces, respectively. The biosensor based on antibody-modified magnetic nanoparticles allowed the amperometric detection of B. bruxellensis in buffer solution and red wine samples in the range of 10 - 106 CFU/mL, with low detection limits of 6 CFU/mL and 8 CFU/mL, respectively. In addition, the use of Con A-linked magnetic nanoparticles as capturing elements allowed determination of total yeast content in buffer solution and red wine in the range of 10 - 106 CFU/mL, with detection limit of 5 CFU/mL. These electrochemical biosensors also exhibited high reproducibility, selectivity and storage stability.Item Non-Invasive Breast Cancer Diagnosis through Electrochemical Biosensing at Different Molecular Levels(Sensors, 2017) Campuzano, Susana; Pedrero Muñoz, María; Pingarrón Carrazón, José ManuelThe rapid and accurate determination of specific circulating biomarkers at different molecular levels with non- or minimally invasive methods constitutes a major challenge to improve the breast cancer outcomes and life quality of patients. In this field, electrochemical biosensors have demonstrated to be promising alternatives against more complex conventional strategies to perform fast, accurate and on-site determination of circulating biomarkers at low concentrations in minimally treated body fluids. In this article, after discussing briefly the relevance and current challenges associated with the determination of breast cancer circulating biomarkers, an updated overview of the electrochemical affinity biosensing strategies emerged in the last 5 years for this purpose is provided highlighting the great potentiality of these methodologies. After critically discussing the most interesting features of the electrochemical strategies reported so far for the single or multiplexed determination of such biomarkers with demonstrated applicability in liquid biopsy analysis, existing challenges still to be addressed and future directions in this field will be pointed out.Item Viologen-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes as carrier nanotags for electrochemical immunosensing. Application to TGF-β1 cytokine(Biosensors and Biolelectrics, 2017) Sánchez Tirado, Esther; Arellano, Luis M.; González Cortés, Araceli; Yáñez Sedeño, Paloma; Langa, Fernando; Pingarrón Carrazón, José ManuelViologen-SWCNT hybrids are synthesized by aryl-diazonium chemistry in the presence of isoamyl nitrite followed by condensation reaction of the resulting HOOC-PheSWCNT with 1-(3-aminoethyl)-4,4’-bipyridinium bromine and N-alkylation with 2- bromoethylamine. The V-Phe-SWCNT hybrids were characterized by using different spectroscopic techniques (FT-IR, Raman, UV-vis), TGA and Kaiser test. ViologenSWCNTs were used for the preparation of an electrochemical immunosensor for the determination of the transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) cytokine considered as a reliable biomarker in several human diseases. The methodology involved preparation of VPhe-SWCNT(-HRP)-anti-TGF conjugates by covalent linkage of HRP and anti-TGF onto V-Phe-SWCNT hybrids. Biotinylated anti-TGF antibodies were immobilized onto 4- carboxyphenyl-functionalized SPCEs modified with streptavidin and a sandwich type 2 immunoassay was implemented for TGF-β1 with signal amplification using V-PheSWCNT(-HRP)-anti-TGF conjugates as carrier tags. The analytical characteristics exhibited by the as prepared immunosensor (range of linearity between 2.5 and 1000 pg mL-1 TGF-β1; detection limit of 0.95 pg mL-1 ) improve notably those reported with other previous immunosensors or ELISA kits. A great selectivity against other proteins was also found. The prepared immunosensor was validated by determining TGF-β1 in real saliva samples. Minimal sample treatment was required and the obtained results were in excellent agreement with those obtained by using a commercial ELISA kit.Item Mimicking Peroxidase Activities with Prussian Blue Nanoparticles and Their Cyanometalate Structural Analogues(Nano Letters, 2017) Vázquez González, Margarita; Torrente Rodríguez, Rebeca M.; Kozell, Anna; Liao, Wei-Ching; Cecconello, Alessandro; Campuzano, Susana; Pingarrón Carrazón, José Manuel; Willner, ItamarNanoparticles composed of Prussian Blue, PB, and the cyanometalate structural analogues, CuFe, FeCoFe, and FeCo, are examined as inorganic clusters that mimic the functions of peroxidases. PB acts as a superior catalyst for the oxidation of dopamine to aminochrome by H2O2. The oxidation of dopamine by H2O2 in the presence of PB is 6-fold faster than in the presence of CuFe. The cluster FeCo does not catalyze the oxidation of dopamine to aminochrome. The most efficient catalyst for the generation of chemiluminescence by the oxidation of luminol by H2O2 is, however, FeCo, and PB lacks any catalytic activity toward the generation of chemiluminescence. The order of catalyzed chemiluminescence generation is FeCo ≫ CuFe > FeCoFe. The clusters PB, CuFe, FeCoFe, and FeCo mimic the functions of NADH peroxidase. The catalyzed oxidation of NADH by H2O2 to form NAD+ follows the order PB ≫ CuFe ∼ FeCoFe, FeCo. The efficient generation of chemiluminescence by the FeCo-catalyzed oxidation of luminol by H2O2 is used to develop a glucose sensor. The aerobic oxidation of glucose in the presence of glucose oxidase, GOx, yields gluconic acid and H2O2. The chemiluminescence intensities formed by the GOx-generated H2O2 relate to the concentration of glucose, thus providing a quantitative readout signal for the concentrations of glucose.Item Carbon nanotubes functionalized by click chemistry as scaffolds for the preparation of electrochemical immunosensors. Application to the determination of TGF-beta 1 cytokine(Analyst, 2016) Sánchez Tirado, Esther; González Cortés, Araceli; Yáñez Sedeño, Paloma; Pingarrón Carrazón, José ManuelAn electrochemical immunosensor for the determination of the multifunctional Transforming Growth Factor β1 (TGF-β1) cytokine has been prepared using multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-modified screen-printed carbon electrodes. MWCNTs were functionalized by means of copper(i) catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition ("click" chemistry) as an efficient strategy for the covalent immobilization of immunoreagents without altering their configurations and preserving their biological activity. Alkyne-functionalized IgGs were also prepared and used to assemble IgG-alkyne-azide-MWCNT conjugates used as scaffolds for the immunosensor preparation. After a blocking step with casein, anti-TGF was immobilized and the target cytokine was sandwiched with biotinylated anti-TGF labeled with poly-HRP-labeled streptavidin. The affinity reaction was monitored amperometrically at -0.20 V using the hydroquinone (HQ)/H2O2 system. The calibration plot for TGF-β1 exhibited a range of linearity (r2 = 0.995) extending between 5 and 200 pg mL-1 which is suitable for the determination of the target cytokine in human serum. A limit of detection of 1.3 pg mL-1 was achieved. The analytical performance of the immunosensor can be advantageously compared with that claimed for ELISA kits. The immunosensor was applied to the analysis of spiked human serum samples at different concentration levels with excellent recoveries.
