contents Modular Avi-Tag Linkers Provide Predictable Protein Orientation for Generic Biosensor Construction. Chen, Yiyu Lian, Huiting Liu, Guangming Liu, Bin Wei, Xiaofeng Biosensing Techniques Animals Allergens Immunoglobulin E Humans Biotinylation Epitope Mapping Circular Dichroism Current multiplexed IgE assays suffer from random protein orientation, which reduces epitope accessibility. Here, we address this limitation by genetically fusing oyster allergens (Cra a 1 and Cra a 2) to an Avi-tag for site-specific biotinylation. The oriented capture probes, integrated with RCA-enhanced cell-free transcription, enable the simultaneous detection of two IgE targets with limits of detection of 1.5 and 27 pg/mL. Circular dichroism and epitope mapping reveal that Avi-tag conjugation maintains the native protein conformation, resulting in 2.3-fold higher IgE-binding activity compared with random NHS-biotinylation. Pilot testing with 20 serum samples shows 90% concordance with ELISA, demonstrating the potential for component-resolved allergy diagnosis.
