Abstract:

Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) was detected by a sandwich method with Au nanoparticles (AuNPs)
of different sizes labeled E. coli O157:H7 polyclonal antibody (PAb) as the second antibody and PAb immobilized on the
sensor surface as the first antibody using a dual-channel surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor. The abilities of second
antibodies labeled with AuNPs of three different sizes to enhance SPR signal were compared. As a result, the optimal AuNPs
size was found to be 17.79 nm and the minimum detectable concentration of E. coli O157:H7 was 10 CFU/mL.

Key words: AuNPs, E. coli O157:H7, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), labeling, different particle sizes
