Abstract

We have successfully generated a Quenchbody that enables the detection of the influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA), in a simple and convenient manner. By two-site labeling of the bacterially-produced anti-HA Fab with ATTO520, its fluorescence intensity was increased to 4.4-fold, in the presence of a nanomolar concentration of H1N1 HA. Our results indicate the potential use of this Quenchbody, as a sensor for the simple in situ detection of influenza A virus.
