A Paper-Based Immunoassay for the Detection of Immunoglobulin G

Transcript

Add five milliliters of 0.05% glutaraldehyde solution to a 20-milliliter glass bottle. Immerse 15 amine-functionalized medium-flow filter paper discs in this solution, and keep for one hour with shaking at room temperature. Concurrently, repeat this step to prepare another 15 aldehyde-functionalized fast-flow filter paper discs.

To remove unreacted glutaraldehyde from the paper discs, first, place the medium-flow filter paper discs, and the fast-flow filter paper discs into separate 15-milliliter centrifuge tubes. Then, add five milliliters of deionized water to each tube, and shake the tubes for 10 seconds. Remove the water by aspirating with a pipette. Repeat two times to remove any unreacted glutaraldehyde.

Then, dry the paper discs in a 37 degrees Celsius oven. Once dry, add five microliters of 0.025 milligrams per milliliter mouse IgG-Fc fragment antibodies to the medium-flow filter paper discs, and eight microliters to the fast-flow filter paper discs.

After incubating for 20 minutes, add 10 microliters of 50 millimolar PBS pH 7.4 to each paper disc without removing the antibodies. Incubate for 40 minutes for the amine-aldehyde reaction. Wash the paper discs with 0.2 milliliters of washing buffer on top of a paper towel. Repeat the wash three times.

After drying the paper discs in an oven at 37 degrees Celsius, block the paper discs with 15 microliters of blocking buffer for 10 minutes at room temperature. Then, wash each paper disc with 0.2 milliliters of washing buffer on top of a paper towel. Repeat the wash three times.

Next, run the IgG standards. Load 10 microliters of various IgG concentrations onto individual discs in triplicate. Incubate for one hour at room temperature. Wash the paper discs with 0.2 milliliters of washing buffer on top of a paper towel. Repeat the wash three times.

Following the washes, load 10 microliters of HRP-conjugated mouse IgG-Fc fragment antibodies, and incubate for one hour at room temperature. Wash the paper discs with 0.2 milliliters of washing buffer on top of a paper towel. Repeat the wash three times.

Finally, load a 10-microliter mixture of TMB and hydrogen peroxide onto each disc. Take images of all paper discs with a digital camera or smartphone after five minutes of incubation, and analyze as discussed in the text protocol.
