Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Immunoassays are widely applied for the detection of diseases, bacteria, viruses, drugs, allergens, toxins in food, and other biomolecules. In the last several years, the clinical demand for rapid immunodiagnostics has been demonstrated in immediate proximity to minimizing the spread of infection at an early stage. In that respect, point-of-care (POC) diagnostics have been proven to be substantial portable analytical tools, especially lateral flow, vertical flow, wearable, and optical immunoassay platforms. However, the demand for highly sensitive, and accurate point-of-care platforms in clinical and low-resource settings is ever increasing. Therefore, this Special Issue, "Advances in Immunoassay Biosensing Platform for Point-of-Care Diagnostics", focuses on the recent advances in immunoassay platforms for the detection of antigens, antibodies, proteins, small molecules, DNA, and RNA with the integration of advanced or innovative detection technologies, sample processing, and labeling molecules to apply in point-of-care diagnostics. We invite submissions of research that help to advance immunoassay biosensing platforms for point-of-care diagnostics and its application for rapid diagnosis in low-resource settings.

Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious complication that poses risks to both mothers and their children. This condition is typically asymptomatic until the second or even third trimester, which can lead to poor outcomes and can be costly. Detection is particularly challenging in low- and middle-income countries, where a lack of centralized testing facilities coincides with high rates of PE-related maternal mortality. Variations in the levels of hsa-miR-17-5p have been identified as constituting a potential early indicator for distinguishing between individuals with PE and those without PE during the first trimester. Thus, developing a screening test to measure hsa-miR-17-5p levels would not only facilitate rapid detection in the early stages of pregnancy but also help democratize testing globally. Here, we present a proof-of-principle lateral-flow assay (LFA) designed to measure hsa-miR-17-5p levels using DNA-hairpin recognition elements for enhanced specificity and nanoprobes for sensitive surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERS) signal transduction. The theoretical limit of detection for hsa-miR-17-5p was 3.84 × 10−4 pg/µL using SERS. Full article

Amantadine (AMD) is an antiviral drug that is prohibited for use in livestock and poultry. In this study, carboxyl-modified magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized using the solvothermal method in one step with harmless and inexpensive regents, and they were used to label monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) of AMD in microwells with electrostatic adsorption. Then, a magnetic immunochromatography assay (MICA) method was successfully established. Under optimal conditions, the MICA showed a good performance, with a linear range of 0.2~10.0 µg/L. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.068 µg/L with the instrument, and the visual LOD (vLOD) was 0.5 µg/L. There was no cross-reaction with rimantadine and ribavirin. The vLOD in real samples was 1.0 µg/kg. The developed MICA has the advantages of convenience, speed, and sensitivity, which make it suitable for the on-site rapid detection of AMD residues in chicken tissues and eggs. Full article
