Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Immunosensors are a kind of biosensor that is based on the specific recognition function of antigens and antibodies. Due to the advantages of high sensitivity, high specificity, simple use and low cost, immunosensor technology has been applied in a wide range of fields such as clinical medicine and biological monitoring technology, food industry, environmental monitoring and processing. With the development of molecular biology, the preparation of antibody fragments has become easier, and the immunodetection technology based on recombinant antibody fragments has also rapidly developed. Professor Hiroshi Ueda of the Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan has experienced many great achievements in the research of biosensors based on antibody fragments. The Open Sandwich Immunoassay and Quenchbody technology invented by Professor Ueda have greatly contributed to the field. To commemorate the outstanding contributions of Professor Ueda, this Special Issue will mainly collect papers on detection technology based on antibody fragments to promote innovation and development in this field.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Sensors.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Methods and Protocols is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Development of a rapid detection method for deoxycholic acid (DCA) is crucial for its diagnosis in the early stages of inflammation and cancer. In this study, we expressed a soluble recombinant anti-DCA single-chain variable fragment (scFv) in Escherichia coli. To convert scFv into a Quenchbody (Q-body), we labeled scFv using commercially available maleimide-linked fluorophores. The TAMRA-C5-maleimide-conjugated Q-body showed the highest response within a few minutes of DCA addition, indicating its applicability as a wash-free immunoassay probe for onsite DCA detection.
