pDNA conjugated with citrate capped silver nanoparticles towards ultrasensitive bio-assay of haemophilus influenza in human biofluids: updates A novel optical biosensor

A sensitive and specific approach was developed for the determination of Haemophilus influenza using DNA based bio-assay. In this study, citrate capped silver nanoparticle was synthesized and employed for bioconjugation with pDNA toward target sequences detection. In this study, synthesized probe (SH-5'-AAT TTT CCA ACT TTT TCA CCT GCA T-3') of Haemophilus influenza was detected with great sensitivity and selectivity after hybridization with cDNA (5'-ATG CAG GTG AAA AAG TTG GAA AAT T-3'). Regarding to the obtained results, the low limit of quantification (LLOQ) of DNA sample was 1 ZM using 15 mu L of probe and 200 mu L of Cit/AgNPs. According to ultra-sensitivity of the fabricated optical DNA-based bio-assay, it has potential for bacterial determination both in clinical and environmental specimens. To evaluate the selectivity of developed DNA based biosensor, three mismatch sequences were applied. Finally, the designed genosensor is a significant diagnostic strategy for detection of Haemophilus influenza with great selectivity. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
