A novel fluorescent lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) platform was developed for the rapid and accurate detection of SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies. The platform employs aggregation-induced emission carbon dots conjugated with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, providing high sensitivity and potential applications in public health and clinical research.
Understanding the dynamic changes in antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is essential for evaluating the effectiveness of the vaccine and the stage for the recovery of the COVID-19 disease. A rapid and accurate method for the detection of SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies is still urgently needed. Here, we developed a novel fluorescent lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) platform for the detection of SARS-CoV-2-specific IgM and IgG by the aggregation-induced emission carbon dots conjugated with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (SSP). The aggregation-induced emission carbon dots (AIE-CDs) are one of the best prospect fluorescent probe materials for exhibiting high emission efficiency in both aggregate and solid states. The AIE-CDs were synthesized and displayed dual fluorescence emission, which provides a new perspective for the design of a high sensitivity testing system. In this work, the novel LFA platform adopted the AIE carbon dots, which are used to detect SARS-CoV-2-specific IgM and IgG conveniently. Furthermore, this sensor had a low LOD of 100 pg/ml. Therefore, this newly developed strategy has potential applications in the areas of public health for the advancement of clinical research.
