Assays for detecting tetanus toxoid are of great significance to be applied in the research of the safety testing of tetanus vaccine. Currently, guinea pigs or mice are usually used to evaluate the toxicity in these assays. Herein, a facile and quick biomineralization process was carried out to generate tetanus human immunoglobulin G (Tet-IgG)-functionalized Au nanoclusters (Tet-IgG-AuNCs). The obtained Tet-IgG-AuNCs exhibited strong red emission with a photoluminescence quantum yield of 13%. Based on surface plasmon resonance measurements, the apparent dissociation constant of the Tet-IgG-AuNC-tetanus toxoid complexes was measured to be 2.27 × 10-8 M. A facile detection approach was developed using a fluorescent Tet-IgG-AuNC-based immunochromatography test strip. By utilizing the high-brightness fluorescent Tet-IgG-AuNCs, this immunosensor showed favorable sensitivity with a detection limit at the level of 0.03 μg/mL. Further results demonstrated that this assay can reliably detect tetanus toxoid and therefore might provide a novel method to replace animal tests for the quantification of tetanus toxicity. Moreover, the antibody-AuNC-based immunochromatography test strip platform serves as a promising candidate to develop new approaches for detecting targeted antigens and biological events of interest.

D013742 Tetanus A disease caused by tetanospasmin, a powerful protein toxin produced by CLOSTRIDIUM TETANI. Tetanus usually occurs after an acute injury, such as a puncture wound or laceration. Generalized tetanus, the most common form, is characterized by tetanic muscular contractions and hyperreflexia. Localized tetanus presents itself as a mild condition with manifestations restricted to muscles near the wound. It may progress to the generalized form.
