본 발명은 치매 진단을 위한 광섬유 기반의 플라즈모닉 바이오센서의 제작방법과 이로부터 제작된 바이오센서에 관한 것이다. 본 발명은 상기 바이오센서를 제작하기 위해 세 가지 전략을 수행하였다. 첫째로, 광섬유 표면에 고정되는 금속 나노입자의 밀도를 최적화하여 바이오센서의 감도를 최적화하였다. 둘째로, 금속 나노입자의 크기를 증가시키는 금속 덧씌움(Capping) 공정을 수행하여 금속 나노입자의 산란 효율을 증가시켰다. 셋째로, 광섬유 표면 중 금속 나노입자가 고정되지 않은 베어(Bare) 표면을 식각하여 배경 신호를 감소시켰다. 상기 세 가지 전략에 따라 바이오센서를 제작하였고, 알츠하이머의 생체 표지자인 아밀로이드 베타(Amyloid Beta)를 측정하였다. 본 발명에 따른 바이오센서는 종래보다 더 낮은 검출 한계, 더 빠른 진단 시간, 더 높은 정확성을 나타내었다.
Resumen de: US2025020671A1
A method for detecting risk biomarkers for chronic neurodegenerative disorder of central nervous system called Alzheimer's disease (AD) is provided. AD is the most common cause of dementia, and it is characterized by extracellular senile plaques formed by the accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ) proteins and aggregation of tau proteins into intracellular neurofibrillary tangles in central nervous system. The present invention aims at developing a novel PoC based multiple AD biomarkers detection assay and method, such as Aβ1-40/Aβ1-42, tau protein and BDNF using multi-colored highly luminescent, non-photo-bleaching quantum dots (QDs), which provides an affordable and accurate means for early diagnosis of MCI, AD or dementia at homes, hospitals or near the patient bedsides.

The present disclosure provides methods, assays, kits, and uses thereof for screening candidate therapeutics for their tendency to induce phagocytosis in a cell. In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a method of assaying a candidate compound for its tendency to induce phagocytosis in a cell, the method comprising: contacting the cells with the candidate compound; contacting the cells with a target ligand bound to a fluorescent phagocytosis vesicle reporter having a fluorophore emission wavelength; nuclear staining the cells with a DNA-specific fluorescent stain; and measuring the fluorescence amplitude of the fluorescent phagocytosis vesicle reporter. In another aspect, the present disclosure provides a cell-health assay for testing compounds for their potential for treating neurodegenerative disorders.
