研究目的
To develop a fully packaged, portable thin film transistor (TFT) biosensor for the direct detection of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) from on-site samples, addressing limitations of existing methods such as poor limits of detection and lack of portability.
研究成果
The fully packaged portable biosensor successfully detected HPAIV in various samples with a limit of detection of 102 EID50/mL, showing a proportional increase in voltage signal with virus concentration. It offers advantages in portability, safety, and on-site applicability, making it suitable for point-of-care detection of viruses beyond HPAIV.
研究不足
The biosensor showed signal fluctuations at low virus concentrations, and the range of measurements increased with higher concentrations, possibly due to variations in sample conditions and the indirect relationship between DNA (measured by RT-PCR) and nucleoprotein concentrations. The number of samples for some types (e.g., mallard oral and duck feces) was limited.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study designed a portable TFT biosensor with a dual-gate structure for enhanced sensitivity, packaged to protect against environmental factors. It utilized electrochemical detection based on antigen-antibody reactions.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples included oral and cloacal swabs and feces from ducks and mallards infected with HPAIV H5N6, prepared in a BSL-3 laboratory. Virus concentrations were determined using RT-PCR for comparison.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Materials included glutaraldehyde, ethanolamine, N-hydroxysuccinimide, bovine serum albumin, 1-ethyl-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]carbodiimide hydrochloride, lysis buffer (from Bionote rapid test kit RB2501MH), HPAIV antibodies, and various buffers. Equipment included a packaged biosensor with TFT device, internal and external PCBs, gold wires, epoxy for sealing, RF magnetron sputter for tin dioxide deposition, O2 plasma system, and a current-voltage sourcemeter for measurements.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The biosensor was fabricated by wiring TFT devices on PCBs and sealing with epoxy. Antibodies were fixed to the sensing gate surface using chemical functionalization. Samples were reacted with antibodies for 20 minutes, washed, and measured for voltage shifts. Measurements were conducted in a BSL-3 environment with controlled parameters (drain voltage of 6 V, bottom gate sweep from -10 to +20 V).
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Voltage shifts were calculated as the difference between reference and sample measurements. Data were compared with RT-PCR results to establish correlation, and statistical analysis included linear fitting and error calculation.
