The homogeneous immunological detection of small molecules at high sensitivity is still a daunting task. Here, we tried sensitive noncompetitive detection of small peptides based on the open-sandwich immunoassay principle, which was combined with a bioluminescent protein-fragment complementation assay (PCA) in vitro. Since the detection of antigen-induced approximation of the two antibody variable region fragments V-H and V-L by the standard Nanoluc-based PCA utilizing larger (LgBiT) and shorter (SmBiT) fragments was not successful, we decided to further split LgBiT into two, yielding smaller N-terminal derivative (LnBiT) and two C-terminal, 11 residue peptides (LcBiT and SmBiT) corresponding to consecutive beta strands, to which V-H and V-L were each fused and expressed in Escherichia coli cells. Through the optimization of reaction conditions and peptide sequence, the antigen osteocalcin peptide can be noncompetitively detected with a low background signal and limit of detection, yielding a high light emission of 88% compared to that of the wild-type enzyme. Since the luminescence of this open sandwich bioluminescent immunoassay (OS-BLIA) can be observed with the naked eye, it could become the foundation of many point-of-care detection systems.
