Abstract
Nanoluciferase (Nluc), the smallest luciferase known, was used as the fusion partner with a nanobody against aflatoxin B to develop a bioluminescent enzyme immunoassay (BLEIA) for detection of the aflatoxin B in cereal. Nanobody (clone G8) against aflatoxin B was fused with nanoluciferase and cloned into a pET22b expression vector, and then transformed into Escherichia coli. The nanobody fusion gene contained a hexahistidine tag for purification by immobilized metal affinity chromatography, yielding a biologically active fusion protein. The fusion protein G8-Nluc retained binding properties of the original nanobody. Concentration of the coelenterazine substrate and buffer composition were also optimized to provide high intensity and long half-life of the luminescent signal. The G8-Nluc was used as a detection antibody to establish a competitive bioluminescent ELISA for the detection of aflatoxin B in cereals successfully. Compared to classical ELISA, this novel assay showed more than 20-fold improvement in detection sensitivity, with an IC value of 0.41 ng/mL and linear range from 0.10 to 1.64 ng/mL. In addition, the entire BLEIA detection procedure can be completed in one step within 2 h, from sample preparation to data analysis. These results suggest that nanobody fragments fused with nanoluciferase might serve as useful and highly sensitive dual functional reagents for the development of rapid and highly sensitive immunoanalytical methods.
