Application of immuno-rotary biosensor based on F0F1 -ATPase in chromatophores for detecting HIV-1 P24

Objective To build a high sensitive method to detect HIV-1 P24 antigen quantitatively by Immuno-rotary Biosensor (IRB) based on F0F1-ATPase. Methods The immuno-rotary biosensor based on F0F1-ATPase in chromatophores for detecting HIV-1 P24 was assembled by label F0F1-ATPase chromatophores with the biotin-labled HIV-1 P24 antibody through the streptavidin-biotin-β antibody and the pH sensitivity of fluorescence F1300. Then it's sensitivity and specificity was tested by the prokaryotic expressed HIV-1 P24 antigen. Results Immuno-rotary biosensor based on F0F1-ATPase in chromatophores can detect P24 antigen sensitivily, the lowest level that could be detected was 0.1 fg/ml. Conclusion IRBbased system was successfully assembled and used for the detection of P24 antigen, the rapid and sensitive technique will be useful for detecting HIV-1 P24 antigen quantitatively.
