Dual synergistic response for the electrochemical detection of H1N1 virus and viral proteins using high affinity peptide receptors
2022
Identifying alternatives to antibodies as bioreceptors to test samples feasibly is crucial for developing next-generation in vitro diagnostic methods. Here, we aimed to devise an analytical method for detecting H1N1 viral proteins (hemagglutinin [HA] and neuraminidase [NA]) as well as the complete H1N1 virus with high sensitivity and selectivity. By applying biopanning of M13 peptide libraries, high affinity peptides specific for HA or NA were successfully identified. After selection, three different synthetic peptides that incorporated gold-binding motifs were designed and chemically synthesized on the basis of the original sequence identified phage display technique with or without two repeat. Their binding interactions were characterized by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), square wave voltammetry (SWV), Time of flight-secondary ion mass spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The binding constants (Kd) of HA BP1, HA BP2 and NA BP1 peptides were found to be 169.72 nM, 70.02 nM and 224.49 nM for HA or NA proteins by electrochemical measurements (SWV). The single use of HA BP2 peptide enabled the detection of either H1N1 viral proteins or the actual H1N1 virus, while NA BP1 peptide exhibited lower binding for real H1N1 virus particles. Moreover, the use of both HA BP1 and BP2 as a divalent capturing reagent improved sensor performance as well as the strength of the electrochemical signal, thereby exhibiting a dual synergistic effect for the electrochemical detection of H1N1 antigens with satisfactory specificity and sensitivity (limit of detection of 1.52 PFU/mL).
