Summary: The analysis of salivary biomarkers as expression of periodontal health conditions has been proposed as a useful aid to conventional diagnostic approaches. In this study, we present a point-of-care test (POCT) exploiting a surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based optical biosensor to detect salivary macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1α, a promising marker of periodontitis. A plastic optical fiber (POF) was suitably modified and functionalized by an antibody self-assembled monolayer against MIP-1α for plasmonic detection. The proposed SPR-POF biosensor showed high selectivity and very low limit of detection for MIP-1α of 129 fM (1.0 pg/mL) in phosphate-buffered saline and 346 fM (2.7 pg/mL) in saliva. As a proof of concept, this POCT was also able to discriminate between a periodontitis patient and a healthy subject. The obtained results support the future application of this technology for an on-site detection and real-time monitoring of periodontal health conditions for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. |
