Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized the treatment of cancer, but preclinical testing of hypotheses such as combination therapies has been complicated, in part due to species incompatibility issues. For example, one of few known permissive animal models for oncolytic adenoviruses is the Syrian hamster, for which an ICI, mainly an anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody (mAb)…

The study aimed to investigate the surface modification of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) by layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of lysozyme (LZ) with two different polysaccharides, iota-carrageenan (IC) and gum arabic (GA), for food packaging applications. The effects of solution pH, adsorption time, elimination of intermediate drying steps were investigated. The LbL film growth was monitored up…

The mechanical properties of biological nanoparticles play a crucial role in their interaction with the cellular membrane, in particular for cellular uptake. This has significant implications for the design of pharmaceutical carrier particles. In this context, liposomes have become increasingly popular, among other reasons due to their customizability and easily varied physicochemical properties. With currently…

Melanoma is a life-threatening disease due to the early onset of metastasis and frequent resistance to the applied treatment. For now, no single histological, immunohistochemical or serological biomarker was able to provide a precise predictive value for the aggressive behavior in melanoma patients. Thus, the search for quantifying methods allowing a simultaneous diagnosis and prognosis…

Published in: Analytical Chemistry, 94, 2109-2118

Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2) has been proved to be a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis. In this work, a sensitive surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay for LECT2 analysis was developed. Tyrosine kinase with immune globulin-like and epidermal growth factor-like domains 1 (Tie1) is an orphan receptor of LECT2 with a C-terminal…

Rapid and sensitive detection of PD-L1 exosomes using Cu-TCPP 2D MOF as a SPR sensitizer

Publication year: 2022
Authors: Wang Y. a, Mao Z. b, Chen Q. c, Koh K. d, Hu X. a **, Chen H. a *
Published in: Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 201, 113954

Two-dimensional metal organic framework (2D MOF Cu-TCPP) with significantly enhanced photoelectric properties was synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. The π-stacked electroactive porphyrin molecules of TCPP-based 2D MOF carry out charge transport in the MOF structure. The d-d band transition of Cu2+ and its 2D ultra-thin characteristics can produce excellent near-infrared light absorption to couple with SPR. Three key parameters including the refractive index sensitivity, detection…

Membrane fouling, which limits the application of membrane bioreactors, has received considerable research attention in recent years. In this work, filtration modeling was performed in combination with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis to investigate the membrane fouling mechanism. Sodium alginate (SA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were used to perform dead-end filtration on hydrophilic and…

Cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases are leading causes of death and disability, resulting in one of the highest socio-economic burdens of any disease type. The discovery of bacterial and human plasminogen activators and their use as thrombolytic drugs have revolutionized treatment of these pathologies. Fibrin-specific agents have an advantage over non-specific factors because of lower rates…

Published in: ACS Sensors, 2022, Vol. 7, p. 1175-1182

Surface plasmon resonance is a very well-established surface sensitive technique for label-free analysis of biomolecular interactions, generating thousands of publications each year. An inconvenient effect that complicates interpretation of SPR results is the “bulk response” from molecules in solution, which generate signals without really binding to the surface. Here we present a physical model for…
