    摘要: This invention pertains to the in vitro detection of proteases using a single peptide-conjugate nanocrescent surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probes with at least nanomolar sensitivity. The probe enables detection of proteolytic activity in extremely small volume and at low concentration. In certain embodiments the probes comprise an indicator for the detection of an active protease, where the indicator comprises a nanocrescent attached to a peptide, where said peptide comprises a recognition site for the protease and a Raman tag attached to the peptide.

    摘要: Nanoparticles are used increasingly in consumer products and biomedical applications. Yet the cellular interaction mechanism at the molecular level is not well understood for nanomaterials of different size, shape and surface chemistry. Gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs), which have been explored extensively for various applications in recent years, are used as the model system to help understand the size-dependent biological effects of nanoparticles. Jurkat cells treated with Au-NPs ranging from 2 nm to 200 nm were studied. Whole genome expression measurements indicate size-dependent effects, including linear scaling and threshold effects. In addition, a non-linear pattern of gene responses that persisted over time were observed in 20-40 nm Au-NP treated cells. Gene function, promoter, and pathway analyses reveal differential signaling processes that are correlated with nanoparticle sizes. The size may play a role in cellular sorting of naturally occurring particulates, particle interaction with the receptors, intracellular transportation, signaling and stress responses.

    摘要: A nanoplasmonic resonator (NPR) comprising a metallic nanodisk with alternating shielding layer(s), having a tagged biomolecule conjugated or tethered to the surface of the nanoplasmonic resonator for highly sensitive measurement of enzymatic activity. NPRs enhance Raman signals in a highly reproducible manner, enabling fast detection of protease and enzyme activity, such as Prostate Specific Antigen (paPSA), in real-time, at picomolar sensitivity levels. Experiments on extracellular fluid (ECF) from paPSA-positive cells demonstrate specific detection in a complex bio-fluid background in real-time single-step detection in very small sample volumes.

    摘要: Here, we describe a preassembled plasmonic resonance nanocluster. One embodiment is used for microbe detection and typing. The metallic nanoparticle acceptors with microbe surface antigen epitope, and quantum dot (QD) donors with Fab antibody, are assembled into an immuno-mediated 3D-oriented complex with enhanced energy transfer and fluorescence quenching. The coherent plasmonic resonance between the metal and QD nanoparticles is exploited to achieve improved donor-acceptor resonance within the nanocluster, which in the presence of microbial particles is disassembled in a highly specific manner. The nanocluster provides high detection specificity and sensitivity of the microbes, with a sensitivity limit down to 1-100 particles per microliter and to attomolar levels of a surface antigen epitope. A few specific examples of the plasmonic resonance nanocluster used in microbe detection are disclosed along with ways in which the complex can be easily modified for additional microbes.
