摘要: Environmental pollution by various industrial chemicals and biological agents poses serious risks to human health. Especially, marine contamination potentially toxic elements (PTEs) has become a global concern in recent years. Many efforts have been undertaken monitor the PTE of aquatic environment. However, there are few approaches available assess exposure organisms. In this research, we developed strategy evaluate heavy metal organisms, measuring expression levels metallothionein protein derived from Oryzias javanicus (OjaMT). OjaMT is biomarker because level increases upon exposure. The assay based on real-time, label-free surface plasmon resonance (SPR) measurement. Anti-OjaMT antibody anti-OjaMT single-chain fragment variable region (scFv) were used as detection probes. Two types SPR sensor chips fabricated, immobilizing or Cys3-tagged scFv (scFv-Cys3) controlled orientation tested for situ detection. Compared antibody-presenting chips, scFv-presenting showed improved performance, displaying enhanced sensitivity enabling semi-quantitative portable system combined with scFv-immobilized expected provide an excellent point-of-care testing that can target biomarkers real time.
