    Abstract: The instant disclosure provides reagent compounds, and antibody and oligonucleotide reagents, for use in a variety of assays, including immunoassays and nucleic acid hybridizations. The reagent compounds comprise a bridging antigen or bridging oligonucleotide and a latent crosslinker moiety, such as a tyramide moiety. The bridging antigens are recognizable by the antibody of a corresponding antibody reagent with high affinity, and the bridging oligonucleotides are complementary to the oligonucleotide of a corresponding oligonucleotide reagent. The antibody reagents and oligonucleotide reagents also comprise a crosslinker activation agent, such as a peroxidase enzyme. Reaction of the reagent compounds with the crosslinker activation agent results in the amplification of signal in assays for target cellular markers, including cellular antigens and nucleic acids. Also provided are detectable antibodies specific for the bridging antigens, kits comprising the reagent compounds and antibody and oligonucleotide reagents, methods of signal amplification using the compounds and reagents of the disclosure, methods of preparation of the compounds and reagents, and compositions comprising the compounds and reagents.

    Abstract: A method for determining a susceptibility of a patient to infection by SARS-CoV-2 virus includes obtaining a tissue sample from the patient. The method also includes obtaining first cells from the tissue sample. The method further includes adding the first cells to second cells infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Moreover, the method includes measuring a property of the second cells related to death of the second cells after adding the first cells to the second cells. In addition, the method includes calculating a susceptibility of the patient to infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus using at least the property of the second cells.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides high-performance immunoreagents for use in a variety of immunologic assays and other related techniques. The immunoreagents comprise a primary antibody and a bridging antigen, wherein the bridging antigen is recognized by a detectable secondary antibody with high affinity. Also provided are compositions comprising panels of immunoreagents specific for multiple different target antigens and compositions comprising pairs of primary immunoreagents and their complementary detectable secondary antibodies. The paired primary immunoreagents and secondary antibodies are useful in a variety of immunologic assays, particularly in highly multiplexed assays, where the structure of the bridging antigen is varied in tandem with variation in the detectable secondary antibody, such that a multiplicity of immunoreagents are provided that are capable of simultaneously detecting a multiplicity of target antigens in a single assay. Also provided are kits comprising the immunoreagents, methods of immunologic assay using the immunoreagents of the disclosure, and methods of preparation of the immunoreagents.

    Abstract: Nanozymes capped with a radical-scavenging capping agent are disclosed for use in biosensing assays with improved sensitivity. The radical-scavenging capping agent facilitates the capture and retention of one or more radicals for enhancing a catalytic reaction. In some example embodiments, the nanozyme capped by the radical-scavenging capping agent is capable of catalyzing the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide or molecular oxygen. The capped nanozymes may be incorporated with an electrode, such as the working electrode of an electrochemical sensor, for achieving enhanced catalytic activity and a lower limit of detection. In some example embodiments, the radical-scavenging capping agent is or includes thiocyanate. A rapid ethanol detection device and associated method are described in which the working electrode of an electrochemical sensor is modified by a peroxidase-mimetic nanozyme capped with a radical-scavenging capping agent for the enhanced generation of a reduction current associated with the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
