PG - 150-6 LID - S0956-5663(13)00429-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bios.2013.06.032 [doi] AB - A novel cell-based electrochemical biosensor was developed to quantify major shrimp allergen Pen a 1 (tropomyosin) and to assess its immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated hypersensitivity. Rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) mast cells, encapsulated in type I collagen, were immobilized on a self-assembled l-cysteine/gold nanoparticle (AuNPsCys)-modified gold electrode to monitor IgE-mediated mast cell sensitization and activation. The exposure of dinitrophenol-bovine serum albumin (DNP-BSA), as a model antigen that stimulates mast cells, induced a robust and long-lasting electrochemical impedance signal in a dose-dependent manner which efficiently measured degranulation of anti-DNP IgE-stimulated mast cells. Then this mast cell-based biosensor was applied into quantification for the shrimp allergen with anti-shrimp tropomyosin IgE-sensitization. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results showed that the impedance value (Ret) increased with the concentration of purified shrimp allergen Pen a 1 (tropomyosin) in range of 0.5-0.25 mug mL(-1) with the detection limit as 0.15 mug mL(-1), and the electrochemical result was confirmed by beta-hexosaminidase assay and scanning electron microscopic morphological (SEM) analysis. Thus, a simple, label-free, and sensitive method for the determination of shrimp allergens was proposed and demonstrated here, implying a highly versatile biosensor for food allergen detection and prediction.
