Among the different immunoassays, luminescence based formats are characterized by their outstanding sensitivity making this format especially attractive for future applications. The need for multiparameter detection capabilities calls for a tool box of dye labels in order to transduce the biochemical reaction into an optically detectable signal. Here, in a multiparameter approach each analyte may be detected by a different dye with a unique emission color (covering the blue to red spectral range) or a unique luminescence decay kinetics. In the case of a competitive immunoassay format for each of the different dye labels an individual antibody would be needed. In the present paper a slightly modified approach is presented using a 7-aminocoumarin unit as the basic antigen against which highly specific antibodies were generated. Leaving the epitope region in the dyes unchanged but introducing a side group in positon 3 of the coumarin system allowed us to tune the optical properties of the coumarin dyes without the necessity of new antibody generation. Upon modification of the parent coumarin unit the full spectral range from blue to deep red was accessed. In the manuscript the photophysical characterization of the coumarin derivatives and their corresponding immunocomplexes with two highly specific antibodies is presented. The coumarin dyes and their immunocomplexes were characterized by steady-state and time-resolved absorption as well as emission spectroscopy. Moreover, fluorescence depolarization measurements were carried out to complement the data stressing the different binding modes of the two antibodies. The binding modes were evaluated using the photophysics of 7-aminocoumarins and how it was affected in the respective immunocomplexes, namely, the formation of the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) as well as the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT). In contrast to other antibody-dye pairs reported a distinct fluorescence enhancement upon formation of the antibody-dye complex up to a factor of SO was found. Because of the easy emission color tuning by tailoring the coumarin substitution for the antigen binding in nonrelevant position 3 of the parent molecule, a dye tool box is on hand which can be used in the construction of competitive multiparameter fluorescence enhancement immunoassays (FenIA).}, language = {en} } @article{WessigBehrendsKumkeetal.2016, author = {Wessig, Pablo and Behrends, Nicole and Kumke, Michael Uwe and Eisold, Ursula and Meiling, Til and Hille, Carsten}, title = {Two-photon FRET pairs based on coumarin and DBD dyes}, series = {RSC Advances}, volume = {6}, journal = {RSC Advances}, publisher = {Royal Society of Chemistry}, address = {Cambridge}, issn = {2046-2069}, doi = {10.1039/c6ra03983a}, pages = {33510 -- 33513}, year = {2016}, abstract = {The synthesis and photophysical properties of two new FRET pairs based on coumarin as a donor and DBD dye as an acceptor are described.

Immunochemische Analysemethoden sind in der klinischen Diagnostik sehr erfolgreich und werden heute auch f{\"u}r die Nahrungsmittelkontrolle und {\"U}berwachung von Umweltfragen mit einbezogen. Dadurch sind sie von großem Interesse f{\"u}r weitere Forschungen. Unter den verschiedenen Immunassays zeichnen sich lumineszenzbasierte Formate durch ihre herausragende Sensitivit{\"a}t aus, die dieses Format f{\"u}r zuk{\"u}nftige Anwendungen besonders attraktiv macht. Die Notwendigkeit von Multiparameterdetektionsm{\"o}glichkeiten erfordert einen Werkzeugkasten mit Farbstoffen, um die biochemische Reaktion in ein optisch detektierbares Signal umzuwandeln. Hier wird bei einem Multiparameteransatz jeder Analyt durch einen anderen Farbstoff mit einer einzigartigen Emissionsfarbe, die den blauen bis roten Spektralbereich abdecken, oder eine einzigartige Abklingzeit detektiert. Im Falle eines kompetitiven Immunassayformats w{\"a}re f{\"u}r jeden der verschiedenen Farbstoffe ein einzelner Antik{\"o}rper erforderlich. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird ein leicht modifizierter Ansatz unter Verwendung einer Cumarineinheit, gegen die hochspezifische monoklonale Antik{\"o}rper (mAb) erzeugt wurden, als grundlegendes Antigen pr{\"a}sentiert. Durch eine Modifikation der Stammcumarineinheit an einer Position des Molek{\"u}ls, die f{\"u}r die Erkennung durch den Antik{\"o}rper nicht relevant ist, kann auf den vollen Spektralbereich von blau bis tiefrot zugegriffen werden. In dieser Arbeit wird die photophysikalische Charakterisierung der verschiedenen Cumarinderivate und ihrer entsprechenden Immunkomplexe mit zwei verschiedenen, aber dennoch hochspezifischen, Antik{\"o}rpern pr{\"a}sentiert. Die Cumarinfarbstoffe und ihre Immunkomplexe wurden durch station{\"a}re und zeitaufgel{\"o}ste Absorptions- sowie Fluoreszenzemissionsspektroskopie charakterisiert. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus wurden Fluoreszenzdepolarisationsmessungen durchgef{\"u}hrt, um die Daten zu vervollst{\"a}ndigen, die die verschiedenen Bindungsmodi der beiden Antik{\"o}rper betonten. Im Gegensatz zu h{\"a}ufig eingesetzten Nachweissystemen wurde eine massive Fluoreszenzverst{\"a}rkung bei der Bildung des Antik{\"o}rper-Farbstoffkomplexes bis zu einem Faktor von 50 gefunden. Wegen der leichten Emissionsfarben{\"a}nderung durch das Anpassen der Cumarinsubstitution in der f{\"u}r die Antigenbindung nicht relevanten Position des Elternmolek{\"u}ls, ist eine Farbstoff-Toolbox vorhanden, die bei der Konstruktion von kompetitiven Multiparameterfluoreszenzverst{\"a}rkungsimmunassays verwendet werden kann. Oligo-Spiro-Thio-Ketal-St{\"a}be werden aufgrund ihres hydrophoben R{\"u}ckgrats leicht in Doppellipidschichten eingebaut und deshalb als optische Membransonde verwendet. Wegen ihres geringen Durchmessers wird nur eine minimale St{\"o}rung der Doppellipidschicht verursacht.

Depending on the layout of the particular application, fluorescence quenching or enhancement may be desired as the detection principle. Especially for multiplexed applications or high-brightness requirements, a tunable fluorescence probe can be beneficial. The alterations in the photophysics of rhodamine derivatives upon binding to two different anti-TAMRA antibodies were investigated by absorption and fluorescence-spectroscopy techniques, especially determining the fluorescence decay time and steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy. Two monoclonal anti-TAMRA antibodies were generated by the hybridoma technique. Although surface-plasmon-resonance measurements clearly proved the high affinity of both antibodies towards 5-TAMRA, the observed effects on the fluorescence of rhodamine derivatives were very different. Depending on the anti-TAMRA antibody either a strong fluorescence quenching (G71-DC7) or a distinct fluorescence enhancement (G71-BE11) upon formation of the immune complex was observed. Additional rhodamine derivatives were used to gain further information on the binding interaction. The data reveal that such haptens as 5-TAMRA could generate different paratopes with equal binding affinities but different binding interactions, which provide the opportunity to adapt bioanalysis methods including immunoassays for optimized detection principles for the same hapten depending on the specific requirements.}, language = {en} } @article{EisoldKupstatKlieretal.2014, author = {Eisold, Ursula and Kupstat, Annette and Klier, Dennis Tobias and Primus, Philipp-A. and Pschenitza, Michael and Niessner, Reinhard and Knopp, Dietmar and Kumke, Michael Uwe}, title = {Probing the physicochemical interactions of 3-hydroxy-benzo[a]pyrene with different monoclonal and recombinant antibodies by use of fluorescence line-narrowing spectroscopy}, series = {Analytical \& bioanalytical chemistry}, volume = {406}, journal = {Analytical \& bioanalytical chemistry}, number = {14}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Heidelberg}, issn = {1618-2642}, doi = {10.1007/s00216-013-7584-8}, pages = {3387 -- 3394}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Characterization of interactions between antigens and antibodies is of utmost importance both for fundamental understanding of the binding and for development of advanced clinical diagnostics.

We focused the studies on the specific physicochemical interactions between 3OH-BaP and different, previously obtained, monoclonal and recombinant anti-PAH antibodies. Control experiments performed with non-binding monoclonal antibodies and bovine serum albumin (BSA) indicated that nonspecific interactions did not affect the FLN spectrum of 3OH-BaP. The spectral positions and relative intensities of the bands in the FLN spectra are highly dependent on the molecular environment of the 3OH-BaP. The FLN bands correlate with different vibrational modes of 3OH-BaP which are affected by interactions with the molecular environment (pi-pi interactions, H-bonding, or van-der-Waals forces). Although the analyte (3OH-BaP) was the same for all the antibodies investigated, different binding interactions could be identified from the FLN spectra on the basis of structural flexibility and conformational multiplicity of the antibodies' paratopes.}, language = {en} } @misc{McQuadeO'BrienDoerretal.2013, author = {McQuade, D.
