Abstract

An antibody-based magnetic plate chemifluorescent immunoassay (MPFIA) for effective and rapid detection of bacteria and toxoid from biological fluids was developed. Streptavidin (SA)- magnetic particles and biotinylated antibody as a solid phase immunomagnetic carrier was used for antigen capture. An alkaline phosphatase-antibody conjugate as a secondary capture antibody to the antigen forms a sandwich with the primary antibody. The fluorgenic substrate, AttoPhos reacts with alkaline phosphatase that emits chemifluorescent intensities are proportional to captured antigens. Antigen separation and concentration from biological fluids using immunomagnetic carrier are the key step to reduce media interference for sensitive detection. Results of these efforts may actually enhance the immunoassay possibilities by concentration of specific antigen and reduction of background noise. Magnetic separation and chemifluorescent detection have been achieved by a multiple-well formatted magnetic plate separator and a fluorescent plate detector, respectively. Experiments were performed for virulent Escherichia coli cells, Staphylococcal enterotoxin B toxoid and Bacillus subtilus spore detection in biological fluids. In general, the fluorescent detection can be achieved at the same sensitivities as enzyme-linked immunoassay and the ECL detection is more sensitive than fluorescent assay. However, the unique features of MPFIA and MPECL are that the biological samples can be rapidly processed and detected on the same multiple sample formatted plate within one hour assay time.
