| Summary: | Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO-1) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) are proteins that play a significant role in inflammatory conditions and tumor development. The detection of IDO1 and IFN-γ is crucial for understanding their interplay in immune responses. This study introduced a novel method for the simultaneous quantitative determination of IDO-1 and IFN-γ in different biological samples/materials. The method is based on an optical biosensor, with surface plasmon resonance detection carried out by the imaging version of the sensor (SPRi). Biotinylated antibodies immobilized on the surfaces of the linker and carboxymethylated dextran served as the recognition elements for the developed biosensor. Relevant studies were conducted to optimize the activities of the biosensor by employing appropriate reagent concentrations. Validation was performed for each protein separately; low detection and quantification limits were obtained (for IDO-1 LOD = 0.27 ng/mL, LOQ = 0.81 ng/mL; for IFN-γ LOD = 1.76 pg/mL and LOQ = 5.29 pg/mL). The sensor operating ranges were 0.001–10 ng/mL for IDO-1 and 0.1–1000 pg/mL for IFN-γ. The constructed biosensor demonstrated its sensitivity and precision when the appropriate analytical parameters were determined, based on the proposed method. It can also selectively capture IDO-1 and IFN-γ from a large sample matrix. The biosensor efficiency was confirmed by the determination of IDO-1 and IFN-γ in simultaneous measurements of the plasma and urine samples of patients diagnosed with bladder cancer and the control group. The outcomes were compared to those obtained using a certified ELISA test, demonstrating convergence between the two methodologies. The preliminary findings demonstrate the biosensor’s efficacy and suitability for comprehensive analyses of the examined biological samples. |
