Enhanced Enzymatically Amplified Metallization on Nanostructured Surfaces for Multiplexed Point-of-Care Electrical Detection of COVID-19 Biomarkers.

ABSTRACT: Inexpensive yet sensitive and specific biomarker detection is a critical bottleneck in diagnostics, monitoring, and surveillance of infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Multiplexed detection of several biomarkers can achieve wider diagnostic applicability, accuracy, and ease-of-use, while reducing cost. Current biomarker detection methods often use enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) with optical detection which offers high sensitivity and specificity. However, this is complex, expensive, and limited to detecting only a single analyte at a time. Here, it is found that biomarker-bound enzyme-labeled probes act synergistically with nanostructured catalytic surfaces and can be used to selectively reduce a soluble silver substrate to generate highly dense and conductive, localized surface silver metallization on microelectrode arrays. This enables a sensitive and quantitative, simple, direct electronic readout of biomarker binding without the use of any intermediate optics. Furthermore, the localized and dry-phase stable nature of the metallization enables multiplexed electronic measurement of several biomarkers from a single drop (<10 µL) of sample on a microchip.This method is applied for the multiplexed point-of-care (POC) quantitative detection of multiple COVID-19 antigen-specific antibodies. Combining a simple microchip and an inexpensive, cellphone-interfaced, portable reader, the detection and discrimination of biomarkers of prior infection versus vaccination is demonstrated.

Project description:Generated by the immune system post-infection or through vaccination, the effectiveness of antibodies against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants is crucial for protecting individuals from the COVID-19 pandemic. Herein, a platform for the multiplexed evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies against various variants was designed on the basis of near-infrared (NIR) surface enhanced fluorescence by nano-plasmonic gold chip (pGOLD). Antibody level across variants (Wild-type, Alpha, Beta, Delta, Omicron) was confirmed by the sera from recovered-individuals who were unvaccinated and had infected with Wild-type, Delta, Omicron variants. However, the neutralizing activity against Omicron variant was markedly decreased for individuals infected by Wild-type (~ 5.6-fold) and Delta variant (~ 19.1-fold). To the opposite, neutralizing antibody from individuals recovered from Omicron variant infection showed weak binding strength against non-Omicron variants. Antibody evolution over time was studied with individuals 196-530 days post Wild-type infection. Decreasing IgG antibody titer accompanied by increasing IgG binding avidity with elongated post-infection period were observed for the sera from Wild-type recovered-individuals with different post-infection times, suggesting that after the primary infection, a great number of antibodies were generated and then gradually decreased, while the antibody matured over time. By comparing the IgG level of individuals vaccinated for 27-51 days with individual post-infection, we found that ca. 1 month after two doses of vaccination, the antibody level was comparable to that of 500 days post-infection, and vaccination could enhance IgG avidity more efficiently. This work demonstrated a platform for the multiplexed, high-throughput and rapid screening of acquired immunity against SARS-CoV-2 variants, providing a new approach for the analysis of vaccine effectiveness, immunity against emerging variants, and related serological study.
