Abstract
Engineered bacterial magnetic nanoparticles (BMPs) fused with protein A (BMP-PA) can bind antibodies, creating immunomagnetic beads that offer an attractive tool for targets screening. In the study, BMP-PA-IgG was formed by attaching broad-spectrum monoclonal antibodies against glucocorticoids (GCs) to BMP-PA. Immunomagnetic assay was developed for analysis of GCs, using the BMP-PA-IgG and hydrocortisone-horseradish peroxidase. The developed assay exhibited broad specificity for GCs, including hydrocortisone (HCS), betamethasone (BMS), dexamethasone (DMS), prednisolone (PNS), beclomethasone (BCMS), cortisone (CS), 6-α-methylprednisone (6-α-MPNS), and fludrocortisone acetate (HFCS), with half inhibitory concentrations (IC50) ranging from 0.88 to 6.57 ng/mL. The proposed assay showed average recoveries of HCS and DMS ranging from 75.6% to 105.2% in chicken and pork samples, which were correlated well with those obtained by LC-MS/MS. This study indicated that the integration of engineered immunomagnetic beads into immunoassay systems offer possibilities for the sensitive and selective detection of GCs.
