Preparation of divalent camelid single-domain antibody and its application in immunoassays for Salmonella detection in food
2024
Overview
Salmonella-related foodborne infections are commonly caused by the serovars of S. Typhimurium, which can be detected using antibody-based immunoassays. The monovalent variable domain of the camelid heavy chain antibody (VHH) performs excellently in constructing multivalent VHH variants, which generally exhibit higher affinities with antigens and consequently enhance the assay sensitivity. In this study, the divalent variants of VHHs (diVHHs) targeting S. Typhimurium were generated by encoding the monovalent VHH genes assembled in tandem with a flexible linker peptide (G4S)2. Soluble diVHHs were produced in a prokaryotic expression system and purified with a yield of 4.22 mg/L. Benefiting from their stability and antigen-binding abilities towards tested Salmonella serovars, diVHH-based immunoassays were developed. The diVHH-based sandwich immunoassay, using diVHH as capture antibody, exhibited a detection limit of 1.04×102 CFU/mL and enabled as low as 10 CFU/mL S. Typhimurium to be detected after 6 h of enrichment in lettuce. Furthermore, this assay can be applied to spiked lettuce, chicken, and pork samples, showing acceptable recoveries ranging from 83 to 106%. This study presented feasible strategies for VHH multivalence and established a superior sensitivity VHH-based immunoassay for monitoring and analyzing Salmonella contamination in food.
