Its most notable effect is that causes severe economic losses in domestic poultry due to its highly contagion, especially in chicken. Over the past years, the conventional qualitative methods (haemagglutination inhibition, agar gel precipitation test and Latex agglutination test) as well as semi-quantitative analysis (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunofluorescence test) were introduced for clinical diagnosis of ND.
Although these methods allow effective determinations ND virus in infective samples, which require rather complicated procedures for sample preparations and sophisticated instruments for assays. Thus, it is necessary to develop methods that offer a simple, rapid, cost-effective analytical strategy, which can be easily used for applications in contamination studies of ND. To investigate infection diseases, the fabrication and application of electrochemical immunosensor have been considerably developed. However, most of the works have used monoclonal immunoglobulin G (antibody IgG) from mammalian blood.
Egg yolk immunoglobulin (IgY) from chickens can be employed as an alternate IgG in immunoassay, which offers some advantages with respect to animal care, high productivity and special suitability in the source of antibodies. In our work, electrochemical immunosensor using IgY as receptors in configuration has been developed to detect ND virus. This thesis is organized into three chapters: In the first chapter, the basic concepts about immunosensor and fundamental theory of immune reaction will be introduced. In the second chapter, the fabrication of electrochemical immunosensor will be described in detail.
In the last chapter, the characterization of immunosensor carried out with ND virus will be discussed. 7 Chapter 1 IMMUNOSENSOR AND IMMUNE REACTION 1. Biosensor and immunosensor A biosensor is an analyte device consisting of a biological sensing element attached a signal transducer, which converts signals of the biological reactions into measurable signals [1]. The biological sensing element ranges from oligonucleotides (DNA or RAN) to enzymes, proteins, cells, antibodies or antigens.
Transducer designed on a solid-state substrate that plays a role converting the signals recorded from biological sensing element into measurable signals like the electric signals. Biological reactions are able to lead to that include the changing of pH value, electronic or ionic transfer, refraction, luminescence, micro mass or thermal transfer… The biosensors based on antibodies or antigens are known as immunosensors. Thus, the four most common kind of immunosensors based on the signal of biological reactions are optical, electrochemical, micro mass and thermal [2]. North [3] proposed the first concept of the immunosensor in 1985 in which the bioelement was antibody.
Recently, the term immnosensors were described as the ones that can convert the specific antibody-antigen interactions into measurable signals. In principle, either antibodies or an antibody-antigen complexes immobilized on transducer’s surface play the role as a bio-receptor toward a target element (another antibody or antigen). Most of the immunosensors are designed that based on the two mechanisms such as biological catalysis and biological affinity. The biological catalysts are usually enzymes catalyzing for biochemical reactions, while the biological affinity bases on the specific interaction of proteins, lectins, receptors, live cells, nucleic acids, antibodies and antigens [2].
8 The applications of the biosensor and immunosensor comprise a wide range of tasks, ranging from clinical diagnostics, food safety, industrial processes control, pollution monitoring, drug discovery, to military and security applications [4]. The interest in the fields of biosensors is reflected directly in its fast rise in the number of publications. In 1985, there were approximately 100 papers on this subject and this number rose to 4500 in 2011. Furthermore, the papers published in 2011 alone represented more than 10% of all articles ever published concerning the biosensors.
This upward trend can also be seen in the global market for biosensors which increased from 2 billion US dollars market share in 2000 to 13 billion dollars and predictions for 2018 show figures around 17 billion dollar mark [5]. Electrochemical immunosensor According to the IUPAC suggestion of definition for electrochemical biosensors [6], an immunosensor is an integrated device consisting of an immunochemical recognition element in direct spatial contact with a transducer element. Electrochemical immunosensors employ either antibodies or their complementary binding partners, i. antigens or haptens as biological recognition elements in combination with electrodes or field-effect transistors.
Advantage of this kind of immunosensor ranges from low sample consumption, reasonable cost of instrumentations to miniaturization possibility, which are the main reasons for extensive development of electrochemical immunosensors. The performing principle of electrochemical immunosensor 9 The fundamental performance of electrochemical immunosensor is described as shown in Fig. An electrochemical immunosensor can be classified into three main components, corresponding to the particular roles in its operating principle, namely, antibody or antigen as molecular recognizers, electrodes attached recognizers and performance of a transducer [2]. Transducer Based on the measurement method, the several types of transducer employed in electrochemical immunosensors field are listed in the following: + Potentiometric technique The fundamental principle of all potentiometric transducers are based on the Nernst equation [7] according to which potential changes are logarithmically proportional to the specific ion activity on the electrodes.
The signal is measured as the potential difference (voltage) between potentiometric transducer electrodes (working electrodes - WE and counter electrodes - CE). Potentiometric sensors are used to determine the analytical concentration of some components carrying an electrical charge in the analyte. + Transmembrane potential This transducer principle is based on the accumulation of a potential across a sensing membrane. Ion-selective electrodes (ISE) use ion-selective membranes which generate a charge separation between the sample and the sensor surface.
Similarly, bioreceptors (antigens or antibodies) immobilized on the membrane binds the corresponding compounds (immune reactions) from the solution at the solid- state surface, which leads to the change the transmembrane potential. The electrode measuring pH is the most popular ISE. + Electrode potential This transducer is similar to the transmembrane potential sensor. However, an electrode by itself is the surface for the formation of antigen-antibody 10 complexes, changing the electrode potential in relation to the concentration of the analyte.
+ Field-effect transistor (FET) The FET is a semiconductor device used for monitoring of charges at the surface of an electrode, which have been built up on its metal gate between the so- called source and drain electrodes. The surface potential varies with the analyte concentration. The integration of an ISE with FET is obtained in the ion-selective field-effect transistor (ISFET). This technique is also highly potential for the applications of immunosensors.
+ Amperometric technique This immunosensors are designed to measure a current flow generated by an electrochemical reaction at constant voltage. Amperometric immunosensors depend on the electrical transfer from redox reaction of biocomponents to the surface electrode. Because most protein analytes are not intrinsically able to act as redox partners in an electrochemical reaction, this technique needs using electrochemically active labels such as enzyme or redox labels. + Conductometric and capacitive technique These immunosensor transducers measure the alteration of the electrical conductivity in a solution at constant voltage, caused by biochemical reaction (enzymatic activities) which specifically generate or consume ions.
The capacitance changes are measured using an electrochemical system, in which the bioreceptor is immobilized onto a pair of noble metal electrodes (Au or Pt).
