Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Surface Plasmon Resonance Aptasensor for Soluble Icam-1 Protein in Blood Samples(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2022) Dursun, Ali Dogan; Dogan, Soner; Kavruk, Murat; Tasbasi, B. Busra; Sudagidan, Mert; Yilmaz, M. Deniz; Tuna, Bilge G.Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is considered to be a cancer biomarker in the assessment of metastatic potential in patients and an early indicator of atherosclerosis. A labelless biosensor based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) signal from the specific affinity interaction of an aptamer and a soluble ICAM-1 protein was developed for blood samples. The developed aptasensor provided real-time information on the concentration of the ICAM-1 protein in blood when integrated to a purification step based on a magnetic pull-down separation. The SPR aptasensor was highly specific with a limit of detection of 1.4/0.2 ng ml(-1), which was achieved through aptamer-functionalized silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1Direct Detection of Viral Infections From Swab Samples by Probe-Gated Silica Nanoparticle-Based Lateral Flow Assay(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2024) Durdabak, Dilara Buse; Dogan, Soner; Tekol, Serap Demir; Celik, Caner; Ozalp, Veli Cengiz; Tuna, Bilge GuvencPoint-of-care diagnosis is crucial to control the spreading of viral infections. Here, universal-modifiable probe-gated silica nanoparticles (SNPs) based lateral flow assay (LFA) is developed in the interest of the rapid and early detection of viral infections. The most superior advantage of the rapid assay is its utility in detecting various sides of the virus directly from the human swab samples and its adaptability to detect various types of viruses. For this purpose, a high concentration of fluorescein and rhodamine B as a reporting material was loaded into SNPs with excellent loading capacity and measured using standard curve, 4.19 mu mol & sdot; g-1 and 1.23 mu mol & sdot; g-1, respectively. As a model organism, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (CoV-2) infections were selected by targeting its nonstructural (NSP9, NSP12) and envelope (E) genes as target sites of the virus. We showed that NSP12-gated SNPs-based LFA significantly outperformed detection of viral infection in 15 minutes from 0.73 pg & sdot; mL-1 synthetic viral solution and with a dilution of 1 : 103 of unprocessed human samples with an increasing test line intensity compared to steady state (n=12). Compared to the RT-qPCR method, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of NSP12-gated SNPs were calculated as 100 %, 83 %, and 92 %, respectively. Finally, this modifiable nanoparticle system is a high-performance sensing technique that could take advantage of upcoming point-of-care testing markets for viral infection detections. Here, universal-modifiable probe-gated silica nanoparticles (SNPs) based lateral flow assay (LFA) is developed in the interest of the rapid and early detection of viral infections. The most superior advantage of the rapid assay is its utility in detecting various sides of the virus directly from the human swab samples and its adaptability to detect various types of viruses. The NSP12, NSP9, and E gene targets of CoV-2 were used as detection targets.image
