dc.description.abstract | The global pandemic of COVID-19 continues to be an important threat, especially with the fast transmission rate observed after the discovery of novel mutations. In this perspective, prompt diagnosis requires massive economical and human resources to mitigate the disease. The current study proposes a rational design of a colorimetric lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) based on the repurposing of human samples to produce COVID-19-specific antigens and antibodies in combination with a novel dye-loaded polymersome for naked-eye detection. A group of 121 human samples (61 serums and 60 nasal swabs) were obtained and analyzed by RT-PCR and ELISA. Pooled samples were used to purify antibodies using affinity chromatography, while antigens were purified via magnetic nanoparticles-based affinity. The purified proteins were confirmed for their specificity to COVID-19 via commercial LFA, ELISA, and electrochemical tests in addition to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis. Polymersomes were prepared using methoxy polyethylene glycol-b-polycaprolactone (mPEG-b-PCL) diblock copolymers and loaded with a Coomassie Blue dye. The polymersomes were then functionalized with the purified antibodies and applied for the preparation of two types of LFA (antigen test and antibody test). Overall, the proposed diagnostic tests demonstrated 93 and 92.2% sensitivity for antigen and antibody tests, respectively. The repeatability (92-94%) and reproducibility (96-98%) of the tests highlight the potential of the proposed LFA. The LFA test was also analyzed for stability, and after 4 weeks, 91-97% correct diagnosis was observed. The current LFA platform is a valuable assay that has great economical and analytical potential for widespread applications. | en_US |
