Electrochemical immunosensor for carcinoembryonic antigen based on antigen immobilization in gold nanoparticles modified chitosan membrane.

A disposable electrochemical immunosensor for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was proposed based on the antigen immobilized in a colloidal gold nanoparticles modified chitosan membrane on the surface of an indium-tin oxide (ITO) electrode. The different membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscope and electrochemical methods. Based on a competitive immunoassay format, the immobilized antigen of the immunosensor was incubated with a horseradish peroxidase (HRP) labeled antibody and sample CEA antigen, and the formed immunoconjugate in the immunosensor was detected by an o-phenylenediamine-H(2)O(2)-HRP electrochemical system. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the electrocatalytic current decreased linearly with the competitive mechanism. CEA could be determined in the linear range from 2.0 to 20 ng/ml with a detection limit of 1.0 ng/ml. The prepared CEA immunosensor is not only economic due to the low-cost ITO electrode obtained from industrial mass production, but is also capable with good stability and reproducibility for batch fabrication.     

One‐Step Electrochemical Immunoassay for Carcinoembryonic Antigen in Human via Back‐Filling Immobilization of Gold Nanoparticles on DNA‐Modified Gold Electrodes

A new amperometric immunobiosensor for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) determination in human serum was developed via encapsulation of horseradish peroxidase‐labeled carcinoembryonic antibody (HRP‐anti‐CEA) in a gold nanoparticles/DNA composite architecture. The presences of gold nanoparticles provided a congenial microenvironment for the immobilized biomolecules and decreased the electron transfer impedance, leading to a direct electrochemical behavior of the immobilized HRP. The formation of the antibody–antigen complex by a simple one‐step immunoreaction between the immobilized HRP‐anti‐CEA and CEA in sample solution introduced a barrier of direct electrical communication between the immobilized HRP and the gold electrode surface. Under optimal conditions, the current change obtained from the labeled HRP relative to H₂O₂ system was proportional to the CEA concentration in two linear ranges from 0.5 to 15 ng/mL and 15 to 300 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.1 ng/mL (at 3δ). The precision and reproducibility are acceptable with the intraassay CV of 6.3% and 4.7% at 8 and 60 ng/mL CEA, respectively. The storage stability of the proposed immunosensor is acceptable in a pH 7.0 PBS at 4 °C for 9 days. Moreover, the proposed immunosensors were used to analyze CEA in human serum specimens. Analytical results of clinical samples show the developed immunoassay has a promising alternative approach for detecting CEA in the clinical diagnosis.     

A novel lable-free electrochemical immunosensor for carcinoembryonic antigen based on gold nanoparticles-thionine-reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite film modified glassy carbon electrode

In this paper, gold nanoparticle-thionine-reduced graphene oxide (GNP-THi-GR) nanocomposites were prepared to design a label-free immunosensor for the sensitive detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The nanocomposites with good biocompatibility, excellent redox electrochemical activity and large surface area were coated onto the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface and then CEA antibody (anti-CEA) was immobilized on the electrode to construct the immunosensor. The morphologies and electrochemistry of the formed nanocomposites were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrometry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). CV and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) studies demonstrated that the formation of antibody-antigen complexes decreased the peak current of THi in the GNP-THi-GR nanocomposites. The decreased currents were proportional to the CEA concentration in the range of 10-500 pg/mL with a detection limit of 4 pg/mL. The proposed method was simple, fast and inexpensive for the determination of CEA at very low levels.     

A rapid and highly sensitive portable chemiluminescent immunosensor of carcinoembryonic antigen based on immunomagnetic separation in human serum

To detect a biomarker for lung cancer, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), a highly sensitive, selective, rapid and portable immunosensor based on immunomagnetic separation and chemiluminescence immunoassay was introduced. A sandwich scheme assay has been utilized with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) labeled anti-CEA antibody and immunomagnetic beads (IMBs). The presence of target protein CEA caused the formation of the sandwich structures (IMBs-CEA-HRP labeled antibody). IMBs were applied to capture CEA and immobilize CEA through the external magnetic field. The HRP at the surface of the antibody catalytically oxidized the luminescence substrate to generate optical signals which were detected by a portable home-made luminometer and which were directly proportional to the concentration of CEA in the samples. The signals were dependent on CEA concentrations in a linear range from 0 to 50 ng mL⁻¹. The limit of detection (LOD) of this method was as low as 5.0 pg mL⁻¹ (S/N = 3). The novel immunosensor was highly sensitive with an assay time of <35 min. The intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation were <10%. The anti-CEA antibody can be bound to the bead efficiently with a conjugation rate of 73%. IMBs could be stored in 4 °C protecting from light for 2 months without obvious reduction of biological activity. Human reference sera mixed with various concentrations of CEA were tested with the proposed method and commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit, and a good linear relationship was obtained. This proposed technique demonstrated an excellent performance for quantifying CEA and was expected to be used for clinical testing.     

A new dual immunoassay for tumor markers based on chemiluminescence signal amplification by magnetic mesoporous silica and enzyme modified gold nanoparticles

A sensitive dual immunoassay was proposed for the determination of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and α-fetoprotein (AFP) based on signal amplification. Monoclonal antibodies immobilized on magnetic mesoporous silica particles (Fe(3)O(4)/SiO(2)) were prepared as the primary probe. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) labeled antibodies co-coated with HRP on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were used as the secondary probe to achieve signal amplification. HRP tags were retained in the flow cells after a sandwich immunoassay. By controlling two switches on the two channels, chemiluminescent substrates were injected orderly man way, and then signals for CEA and AFP were sequentially detected by HRP-luminol-H(2)O(2). Due to the increased amount of HRP on AuNPs and the increased amount of monoclonal antibodies on Fe(3)O(4)/SiO(2), the signals were largely amplified. Under the optimal conditions, CEA and AFP could be detected in the linear ranges of 1.0 - 80 and 1.0 - 75 ng mL(-1) with detection limits of 0.25 and 0.5 ng mL(-1), respectively.     

A reusable electrochemical immunosensor for carcinoembryonic antigen via molecular recognition of glycoprotein antibody by phenylboronic acid self-assembly layer on gold

A reusable amperometric immunosensor based on the reversible boronic acid-sugar interaction is proposed. The immunosensor was prepared by self-assembling a thiol-mixed monolayer comprised of conjugates of 3-aminophenylboronic acid with 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (APBA-MUA) and 11-mercapto-1-undecanol (MU) on gold. The resulting boronic acid coating layer can specifically bind with the glycoprotein antibody, enzyme conjugated carcinoembryonic antibody (HRP-anti-CEA). Voltammetric and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic (EIS) studies and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) measurements show that the binding of HRP-anti-CEA to the APBA interface is reversible and the HRP-anti-CEA can be removed with an acidic buffer or a solution containing sorbitol. The bound enzyme-conjugated antibody can retain its enzyme catalytic activity to the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and its immunoactivity while binding with CEA to form an immunocomplex. After the formation of the immunocomplex, the access of the active center of HRP to thionine was partially inhibited. This leads to a linear decrease in the electrocatalytic response of HRP-anti-CEA-modified electrode over a CEA concentration range of 2.5 to 40.0 ng mL(-1). After monitoring the immunoreaction signals, the immunocomplex can be easily removed from the APBA interface with a regeneration solution. This regenerated APBA interface can rebound with HRP-anti-CEA and be recognized by the antigen, through which a reusable immunosensor with an RSD of 7.1% for four cycles can be obtained. Under optimal conditions, the detection limit for the CEA immunoassay is 1.1 ng mL(-1), at three times background noise. Serum CEA determination results, obtained with the proposed method, shows that the immunosensor has an acceptable accuracy.     

Ultrasensitive electrochemical immunosensor of carcinoembryonic antigen based on gold-label silver-stain signal amplification

A novel gold-label silver-stain electrochemical immunosensor based on polythionine-gold nanoparticles (PTh-Au NPs) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) as a platform and secondary antibody labeled Au NPs (Ab₂-Au NPs) as immumoprobe for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) detection. The sandwich-type biosensor adopted anodic stripping voltammetry to detect silver stripping signal when the Ab₂-Au NPs of the formed immunocomplexes were stained with silver.     

Biofunctionalized dendritic polyaniline nanofibers for sensitive electrochemical immunoassay of biomarkers

Multi-armed dendritic polyaniline nanofibers (MPANFs) were first synthesized and functionalized with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and carcinoembryonic antibody (anti-CEA) for highly efficient electrochemical immunoassay of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA, as a model analyte here) in this work. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques were employed to characterize the synthesized MPANFs. By using anti-CEA-conjugated core-shell gold-Fe(3)O(4) nanocomposites (GoldMag) as immunosensing probes and biofunctionalized MPANFs as molecular tags, a new sandwich-type homogeneous immunoassay strategy was developed for the determination of CEA by coupling with a home-made flow-through magneto-controlled microfluidic device. Under optimal conditions, the electrochemical immunoassay exhibited a wide dynamic range of four orders of magnitude from 1.0 pg mL(-1) to 50 ng mL(-1) with a low detection limit of 0.1 pg mL(-1) CEA at 3σ. Intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation were below 10%. The assayed results for clinical serum specimens with the electrochemical immunoassay were received in good accordance with the results obtained from the referenced enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.     

Highly conducting gold nanoparticles-graphene nanohybrid films for ultrasensitive detection of carcinoembryonic antigen

A new label-free amperometric immunosensor was developed for detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) based on chitosan-ferrocene (CS-Fc) and nano-TiO₂ (CS-Fc + TiO₂) complex film and gold nanoparticles-graphene (Au-Gra) nanohybrid. CS-Fc + TiO₂ composite membrane was first modified on a bare glass carbon electrode. Then Au-Gra nanohybrid was formed on the CS-Fc + TiO₂ membrane by self-assembly strategy. Next, further immobilization of anti-CEA was constructed according to the strong interaction between Au-Gra and the amido groups of anti-CEA. Since Au-Gra nanohybrid films provided a congenial microenvironment for the immobilization of biomolecules, the surface coverage of antibody protein could be enhanced and the sensitivity of the immunosensor has been improved. The good electronic conductive characteristic might be attributed to the synergistic effect of graphene nanosheets and Au NPs. The modified process was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Under optimized conditions, the resulting biosensor displayed good amperometric response to CEA with linear range from 0.01 to 80 ng/mL and a detection limit of 3.4 pg/mL (signal/noise = 3). The results demonstrated that the immunosensor has advantages of high conduction, sensitivity, and long life time. This assay approach showed a great potential in clinical applications and detection of low level proteins.
