A Fluorescence Assay Based on GoldMag-CS Nanoparticles for Hepatitis B Virus DNA

A sensitive fluorescence assay for hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA was developed based on the dissociation of bio-bar-code DNA probes from GoldMag-CS nanoparticles (NPs) and magnetic separation. In this method, the target sequence (HBV DNA) was recognized through sandwich hybridization by the catching probes and the detection probes. Catching probes were modified with biotins, and were specifically bound on streptavidin-coated 96-well microplates; detection probes were all attached on the GoldMag-CS nanoparticles, which also bound bio-bar-code strands with fluorescent tags. Bio-bar-codes were dissociated from the NPs by dithiothreitol (DTT) after DNA target recognition and magnetic separation, and then quantified. Streptavidin-coated 96-well microplates diminished the nonspecific binding of DNA-conjugated GoldMag-CS nanoparticles, thus lowering the background; and GoldMag-CS nanoparticles provided easy separation and significant signal amplification. Together, these two effects brought about the detection limit as low as 7.52 fM.
