Sensitive, inexpensive and rapid protease activity assays are of great merit for clinical diagnostics. Detection of protease-based toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum and Bacillus anthracis represents a particularly challenging task as exceptional sensitivity is a prerequisite due to the extreme potency of the toxins. Here, we present an inexpensive and sensitive assay platform for activity-based protease quantification utilizing filamentous bacteriophage as an exponentially amplifiable reporter and its application to detection of these bacterial toxins. The assay is based on specific cleavage of bacteriophage from a solid support and its subsequent quantification by means of infectivity or quantitative PCR. Detection of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) serotypes A and B and anthrax lethal factor in the pM range was demonstrated with a limit of detection of BoNT/A under optimized conditions of 2 pM.
