A Paper-Based Immunoassay for the Detection of Immunoglobulin G

Transcripción

Begin with the amine-functionalized filter-paper discs and immerse them in glutaraldehyde, a cross-linking reagent.

Glutaraldehyde reacts with the amine groups via an amine-aldehyde reaction.

Place the discs in a tube. Add water, shake, and aspirate to remove the residual glutaraldehyde.

Post-drying, introduce the immunoglobulin-G-Fc fragment-specific capture antibodies. Amine groups on these antibodies interact with aldehyde groups on paper discs, facilitating their covalent immobilization.

Wash to remove unbound antibodies and introduce a blocking buffer to prevent non-specific binding.

Next, add a test sample containing immunoglobulin G molecules onto the paper disc. The immunoglobulin G molecules interact with the capture antibodies.

Overlay with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated IgG-Fc fragment-specific detection antibodies that interact with the pre-bound immunoglobulin G.

Wash to remove unbound antibodies and add a mixture of chromogenic substrate and hydrogen peroxide.

In the presence of hydrogen peroxide, horseradish peroxidase catalyzes the oxidation of the chromogenic substrate, generating a blue color on the disc, indicating the presence of immunoglobulin G.
