Here we report the development of an ultrasensitive quantitative assay format called immunoliposome polymerase chain reaction (ILPCR) that fulfills these requirements. This method uses a liposome, with reporter DNA encapsulated inside and biotin-labeled polyethylene glycol (PEG) phospholipid conjugates incorporated into the outer surface of the liposome, as a detection reagent. The antigenic target is immobilized in the well of a microplate by a capture antibody and the liposome detection reagent is then coupled to a biotin-labeled second antibody through a NeutrAvidin bridge. The liposome is ruptured to release the reporter DNA, which serves as a surrogate to quantify the protein target using real-time PCR.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A liposome detection reagent was prepared, which consisted of a population of liposomes ~120\u2009nm in diameter with each liposome possessing ~800 accessible biotin receptors and ~220 encapsulated reporters. This liposome detection reagent was used in an assay to quantify the concentration of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in human serum. This ILPCR assay exhibited a linear dose\u2013response curve from 10<jats:sup>-10<\/jats:sup>\u2009M to 10<jats:sup>-16<\/jats:sup>\u2009M CEA. Within this range the assay coefficient of variance was &lt;6\u2009% for repeatability and &lt;2\u2009% for reproducibility. The assay detection limit was 13\u2009fg\/mL, which is 1,500-times more sensitive than current clinical assays for CEA. An ILPCR assay to quantify HIV-1 p24 core protein in buffer was also developed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The ILPCR assay has several advantages over other immuno-PCR methods. The reporter DNA and biotin-labeled PEG phospholipids spontaneously incorporate into the liposomes as they form, simplifying preparation of the detection reagent. Encapsulation of the reporter inside the liposomes allows nonspecific DNA in the assay medium to be degraded with DNase I prior to quantification of the encapsulated reporter by PCR, which reduces false-positive results and improves quantitative accuracy. The ability to encapsulate multiple reporters per liposome also helps overcome the effect of polymerase inhibitors present in biological specimens. Finally, the biotin-labeled liposome detection reagent can be coupled through a NeutrAvidin bridge to a multitude of biotin-labeled probes, making ILPCR a highly generic assay system.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1477-3155-10-26","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,5]],"date-time":"2012-12-05T18:13:23Z","timestamp":1354731203000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Immunoliposome-PCR: a generic ultrasensitive quantitative antigen detection system"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Junkun","family":"He","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David L","family":"Evers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Timothy J","family":"O\u2019Leary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey T","family":"Mason","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"187_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2496","DOI":"10.1039\/c0an00204f","volume":"135","author":"JF Rusling","year":"2010","unstructured":"Rusling JF, Kumar CV, Gutkind JS, Patel V: Measurement of biomarker proteins for point-of-care early detection and monitoring of cancer.
