Antibody engineering-driven controllable chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer for immunoassay with tunable dynamic range
Analytica Chimica Acta(2021)
Abstract
The donor-acceptor distance is a critical factor for the occurrence of chemiluminescent resonance energy transfer (CRET). We herein evaluate the donor-acceptor distance and transfer efficiency of CRET immunoassays of a series of donors which contain different sized antibody fragments, intact monoclonal antibody (IgG), antigen binding fragment (Fab), and single chain fragment antibody (scFv). Core/multishell quantum dots were used as the acceptor in three CRET systems. IgG is the maximum antibody fragment, leading to the longest donor-acceptor distance and the lowest transfer efficiency. Donors with Fab and scFv show significantly decreased distance and increased transfer efficiency. These results suggest an inverse correlation between donor size and transfer efficiency and can be used to provide guidance for the construction of controllable CRET. By combining the controllable CRET with immunoassay, we further develop a tunable sulfamethazine analytical system. Three different sized donors based CRET immunoassay show a markedly different sensitivity and dynamic range. Such adjustable detection provides greater flexibility for contaminant detection in different foodstuffs with different residue limits. This work not only illustrates the effect of donor-acceptor distance on regulating the energy transfer efficiency of CRET system, but also provides a guideline for the construction of a tunable immunoassay.
