Rapid detection of Clostridium botulinum toxins A, B, E, and F in clinical samples, selected food matrices, and buffer using paramagnetic bead-based electrochemiluminescence detection
چکیده انگلیسی

Sensitive and specific electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assays were used to detect Clostridium botulinum neurotoxins serotypes A, B, E, and F in undiluted human serum, undiluted human urine, assay buffer, and selected food matrices (whole milk, apple juice, ground beef, pastry, and raw eggs). These novel assays used paramagnetic bead-based electrochemiluminescent technology in which biotinylated serotype-specific antibodies were bound to streptavidin-coated paramagnetic beads. The beads acted as the solid support and captured analyte from solution. Electrochemiluminescent detection relied on the use of ruthenium chelate-labeled anti-serotype antibodies and analysis with a BioVeris M-Series M1R analyzer. The sensitivities of the assays in clinically relevant matrices were 50 pg/ml for serotypes A and E, 100 pg/ml for serotype B, and 400 pg/ml for serotype F. The detection limits in selected food matrices ranged from 50 pg/ml for serotype A to 50 to 100 pg/ml for serotypes B, E, and F. The antibodies used for capture and detection exhibited no cross-reactivity when tested with the other serotypes. When purified native toxin was compared with toxins complexed to neurotoxin-associated proteins, no significant differences in assay response were noted for serotypes A, B, and F. Interestingly, the native form of serotype E exhibited reduced signal and limit of detection compared with the complexed form of the protein. We suspect that this difference may be due to trypsin activation of this particular serotype. The assays described in this article demonstrate limits of detection similar in range to the gold standard mouse bioassay, but with greatly reduced time to data. These rapid sensitive assays may have potential use in clinical settings, research studies, and screening of food products for botulinum toxins.
