Amperometric carbohydrate antigen 19-9 immunosensor based on three dimensional ordered macroporous magnetic Au film coupling direct electrochemistry of horseradish peroxidase

A sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor for the detection of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) antigen based on the immobilization of primary antibody (Ab₁) on three dimensional ordered macroporous magnetic (3DOMM) electrode, and the direct electrochemistry of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) that was used as both the label of secondary antibody (Ab₂) and the blocking reagent. The 3DOMM electrode was fabricated by introducing core–shell Au–SiO₂@Fe₃O₄ nanospheres onto the surface of three dimensional ordered macroporous (3DOM) Au electrode via the application of an external magnet. Au nanoparticles functionalized SBA-15 (Au@SBA-15) was conjugated to the HRP labeled secondary antibody (HRP-Ab₂) through the Au–SH or Au–NH₃⁺ interaction, and HRP was also used as the block reagent. The formation of antigen–antibody complex made the combination of Au@SBA-15 and 3DOMM exhibit remarkable synergistic effects for accelerating direct electron transfer (DET) between HRP and the electrode. Under the optimal conditions, the DET current signal increased proportionally to CA 19-9 concentration in the range of 0.05 to 15.65 U mL⁻¹ with a detection limit of 0.01 U mL⁻¹. Moreover, the immunosensor showed high selectivity, good stability, satisfactory reproducibility and regeneration. Importantly, the developed method was used to assay clinical serum specimens, achieving a good relation with those obtained from the commercialized electrochemiluminescent method.     

A Signal‐Amplified Electrochemical Immunosensor Based on Prussian Blue and Pt Hollow Nanospheres as Matrix

Through electrodepositing Prussian blue (PB) and chitosan (CS), then casting Pt hollow nanospheres (HN‐Pt) and assembling CA19‐9 antibody on the electrode surface, an immunosensor was achieved. A new signal amplification strategy based on PB and HN‐Pt toward the electrocatalytic reduction of H₂O₂ was employed when performing the determination. The resulting immunosensor showed a high sensitivity, broad linear response to carbohydrate antigen 19‐9 (CA19‐9) in two ranges from 0.5 to 30 and 30 to 240 U mL^?1 with a low detection limit of 0.13 U mL^?1 (S/N=3). Moreover, it displayed good reproducibility and stability, and would be potentially attractive for clinical immunoassay of CA19‐9.     

A novel capacitive immunosensor based on gold colloid monolayers associated with a sol-gel matrix

A capacitive sensing method based on self-assembling gold nanoparticles to the surface of the sol-gel modified electrode has been developed for the direct detection of the human IgG in human serum. The capacitance of the immunosensor corresponding to the concentration of human IgG is investigated by alternating current impedance. The formed mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane (MPTS) film is ultrathin; the immobilization density of antibodies is high because of high surface-volume area of the assembled gold nanoparticles and the biological macromolecules when immobilized on gold nanoparticles can retain their bioactivity. This capacitive immunosensor prepared with present method can provide high sensitivity. The linear calibration curve was obtained in the range 8.3-2128 ng/ml, with a detection limit of 3.3 ng/ml when plotted versus the logarithm of the antigen concentration. After each immunoassay, the regeneration of the electrode could be performed through washing in basic solution without obvious decrease in response. No cross-reactivity was observed with other protein species. The dependence of sol-gel modified electrode stability on the pH value and ion strength was studied. The insulating properties of the different layers of the immunosensor were also investigated.     

Simultaneous detection of four biomarkers with one sensing surface based on redox probe tagging strategy

In this paper, a simple and sensitive amperometric immunosensor for simultaneous detection of four biomarkers by using distinguishable redox-probes as signal tags was proposed for the first time. In sandwich immunoassay format, four kinds of capture antibodies (C-Ab) were immobilized by gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) electro-deposited on the surface of glass carbon electrode (GCE); four kinds of detection antibodies (D-Ab) labeled with different redox probes (including anthraquinone 2-carboxylic acid (Aq), thionine (Thi), ferrocenecarboxylic acid (Fc) and tris(2,2’-bipyridine-4,4’-dicarboxylic acid) cobalt(III) (Co(bpy)₃³⁺)), were combined with 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid (PTCA), poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) and AuNPs functionalized carbon nanotubes, and served as signal tracer. When four target antigens were present, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) scan exhibited four well-resolved peaks, each peak indicated one antigen, and its intensity was quantitative correlational to the concentration of corresponding analyte. To verify the strategy, four biomarkers for diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma, including carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 CA125, and CA242, were used as model analytes, the immunosensor exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity, and peak current displayed good linear relationship to logarithm concentration in the ranges from 0.016 to 15 ng mL⁻¹ for CEA; 0.008 to 10 ng mL⁻¹ for CA19-9; 0.012 to 12 ng mL⁻¹ for CA125; 0.010 to 10 ng mL⁻¹ for CA242, and low detection limits of 4.2, 2.8, 3.3 and 3.8 pg mL⁻¹, respectively.     

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.     

Electrochemical immuno-bioanalysis for carcinoma antigen 125 based on thionine and gold nanoparticles-modified carbon paste interface

A novel electrochemical immunosensor for the determination of carcinoma antigen 125 (CA125) was developed by means of immobilizing CA125 antibody (anti-CA125) on gold nanoparticles (Au) and thionine (Thi)-modified carbon paste interface. To avoid the leak of hydrophilic gold nanoparticles and thionine from carbon paste interface, the Au-Thi-modified carbon paste electrodes (CPEs) were first treated in the mixture solution containing 10% HNO₃ and 2.5% K₂Cr₂O₇ for 1.5 min at +1.5 V to make the carbon surface with -COOH groups, which can react with -NH₂ groups on the thionine molecule, in the meantime, gold nanoparticles were absorbed on the thionine surface. Subsequently, CA125 antibodies were assembled onto the surface of gold nanoparticles. The fabrication process of the immunosensor was characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The performance and factors influencing the performance of the immunosensor were studied in detail. A direct electrochemical immunoassay format was employed to detect CA125 antigen based on the current change before and after the antigen-antibody reaction. The current change was proportional to CA125 concentration ranging from 10 to 30 U/ml with a detection limit of 1.8 U/ml (at 3δ). The immunosensors were used to analyze CA125 in human serum specimens. Analytical results of clinical samples show that the developed immunoassay has a promising alternative approach for detecting CA125 in the clinical diagnosis.     

Ferrocenyl-doped silica nanoparticles as an immobilized affinity support for electrochemical immunoassay of cancer antigen 15-3

The aim of this study is to elaborate a simple and sensitive electrochemical immunoassay using ferrocenecarboxylic (Fc-COOH)-doped silica nanoparticles (SNPs) as an immobilized affinity support for cancer antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3) detection. The Fc-COOH-doped SNPs with redox-active were prepared by using a water-in-oil microemulsion method. The use of colloidal silica could prevent the leakage of Fc-COOH and were easily modified with trialkoxysilane reagents for covalent conjugation of CA 15-3 antibodies (anti-CA 15-3). The Fc-COOH-doped SNPs were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The fabrication process of the electrochemical immunosensor was demonstrated by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. Under optimal conditions, the developed immunosensor showed good linearity at the studied concentration range of 2.0-240 U mL⁻¹ with a coefficient 0.9986 and a detection limit of 0.64 U mL⁻¹ at S/N = 3.     

Flow-injection immuno-bioassay for interleukin-6 in humans based on gold nanoparticles modified screen-printed graphite electrodes

A flow-injection electrochemical immunoassay system based on a disposable immunosensor for the determination of interleukin-6 (IL-6) was proposed. The immunosensor was prepared by entrapping horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled IL-6 antibody into gold nanoparticles-modified composite membrane at a screen-printed graphite electrode. With a non-competitive immunoassay format, the immunosensor was inserted in the flow system with an injection of sample, and the injected sample containing IL-6 antigen was produced transparent immunoaffinity reaction with the immobilized HRP-labeled IL-6 antibody. The formed antigen–antibody complex inhibited partly the active center of HRP, and decreased the immobilized HRP to H₂O₂ reduction. The performance and factors influencing the performance of the immunosensor were investigated. Under optimal conditions, the current change obtained from the labeled HRP relative to thionine–H₂O₂ system was proportional to the IL-6 concentration in the range of 5–100 ng L⁻¹ with a detection limit of 1.0 ng L⁻¹ (at 3δ). The flow-injection immunoassay system could automatically control the incubation, washing and measurement steps with acceptable reproducibility and good stability. Moreover, the proposed immunosensors were used to analyze IL-6 in human serum specimens. Analytical results of clinical samples show the developed immunoassay has a promising alternative approach for detecting IL-6 in the clinical diagnosis.     

A label-free amperometric immunosenor based on multi-layer assembly of polymerized o-phenylenediamine and gold nanoparticles for determination of Japanese B encephalitis vaccine

A label-free amperometric immunosensor for fast and sensitive assay of Japanese B encephalitis vaccine is presented. Antiserum of Japanese B encephalitis were immobilized on bilayer nano-Au/o-phenylenediamine polymer film with deposited Prussian blue as an electronic mediator on the Pt electrode. The electrochemical behavior of the biosensor was studied with Fe^2+/3+ as probe on the Pt surface using cyclic voltammetry technique. The variation of amperometric response to the concentration of Japanese B encephalitis vaccine, the target antigen, was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry in PBS. The immunosensor showed a specific response to Japanese B encephalitis vaccine in the range 1.1 × 10⁻⁸ to 1.9 × 10⁻⁶ lg pfu/ml (pfu/ml is plaque forming unit and lg is common logarithm) with a detection limit of 6 × 10⁻⁹ lg pfu/ml. The correlation coefficient is 0.9955. The incubation time, incubation temperature, pH, reproducibility and stability of the immunosensor were also studied. The present work supplied a promising test method for biological products.     

An ultrasensitive chemiluminescence immunosensor for PSA based on the enzyme encapsulated liposome

A highly sensitive chemiluminescence immunosensor for the detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was developed based on a novel amplification procedure with the application of enzyme encapsulated liposome. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) encapsulated and antibody-modified liposome acts as the carrier of a large number of markers and specific recognition label for the amplified detection of PSA. In the detection of PSA, the analyte was first bound to the specific capture antibody immobilized on the microwell plates, and then sandwiched by the antibody-modified liposomes encapsulating HRP. The encapsulated markers, HRP molecules were released by the lysis of the specifically bound liposomes in the microwell with Triton X-100 solution. Then, the analyte PSA could be determined via the chemiluminescence signal of HRP-catalyzed luminol/peroxide/enhancer system. The “sandwich-type” immunoassay provides the amplification route for the PSA detection in ultratrace levels. The CL emission intensity exhibits dynamic correlation to PSA concentration in the range from 0.74 pg/ml to 0.74 μg/ml with readily achievable detection limit of 0.7 pg/ml.     

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.     

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.     

Interdigitated Conductometric Immunosensor for Determination of Interleukin‐6 in Humans Based on Dendrimer G4 and Colloidal Gold Modified Composite Film

A highly sensitive, fast and stable conductometric immunosensor for determination of interleukin‐6 (IL6) in humans is developed by encapsulation of horseradish peroxidase‐labeled interleukin‐6 antibody (HRP‐anti‐IL6) in poly(amidoamine) fourth‐generation dendrimer (dendrimer) and colloidal gold (nanogold) modified composite architecture. The presences of nanogold and dendrimer 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‐IL6 and IL6 in sample solution introduced a barrier of direct electrical communication between the immobilized HRP and the gold electrode surface, thus local conductivity variations could be detected by the HRP electrocatalytic reaction in 0.02 M phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.0) containing 50 μM H₂O₂, 0.01 M KI and 0.15 M NaC1. Under optimal conditions, the proposed immunosensor exhibited a good conductometric response to IL6 in a linear range from 30 to 300 pg/mL with a relatively low detection limit of 10 pg/mL at 3δ. The precision and reproducibility are acceptable with the intra‐assay CV of 7.3% and 5.6% at 100 and 200 pg/mL IL6, respectively. The storage stability of the proposed immunosensor is acceptable in a pH 7.0 PBS at 4 °C for 8 days. Importantly, the proposed methodology could be extended to the detection of other antigens or biocompounds.     

Nanogold-functionalized magnetic beads with redox activity for sensitive electrochemical immunoassay of thyroid-stimulating hormone

A new electrochemical immunosensor for sensitive determination of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) was designed by using redox-active nanogold-functionalized magnetic beads (GoldMag) as signal tags on the nanogold–graphene interface. To construct such GoldMag nanostructures, polyethyleneimine-functionalized magnetic beads (PEI-MBs) were initially prepared by using a wet chemical method, and the electroactive thionine molecules and gold nanoparticles were then alternately immobilized on the surface of PEI-MBs by using an opposite-charged adsorption technique and an in situ synthesis method, respectively. The synthesized GoldMag nanostructures were utilized as signal tags for the label of horseradish peroxidase-anti-TSH conjugates (HRP-anti-TSH). With a sandwich-type immunoassay format, the conjugated signal tags on the transducer were increased with the increasing TSH concentration in the sample, thus enhancing the signal of the electrochemical immunosensor due to the labeled HRP toward the catalytic reduction of H₂O₂. Under optimal conditions, the current was proportional to the logarithm of TSH concentration ranging from 0.01 to 20 μIU mL⁻¹ in pH 6.0 HAc–NaAc containing 6 mM H₂O₂. The detection limit (LOD) was 0.005 μIU mL⁻¹ TSH at 3s_B. The immunosensor displayed an acceptable reproducibility, stability and selectivity. In addition, the methodology was evaluated with human serum specimens, receiving good correlation with results from commercially available electrochemiluminescent analyzer.     

An electrochemical immunosensor based on enzyme-encapsulated liposomes and biocatalytic metal deposition

A novel electrochemical immunosensor based on double signal amplification of enzyme-encapsulated liposomes and biocatalytic metal deposition was developed for the detection of human prostate specific antigen (PSA). Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-encapsulated and detection antibody-functionalized liposomes were first prepared and used as the detection reagent. In the sandwich immunoassay, the model analyte PSA was first captured by anti-PSA capture antibody immobilized on the electrode and then sandwiched with the functionalized liposomes. The bound liposomes were then lysed with surfactant to release the encapsulated ALP, which served as secondary signal amplification means. ALP on the electrode surface initiated the hydrolysis of ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AA-p) to produce ascorbic acid. The latter, in turn, reduced silver ions on the electrode surface, leading to deposition of the metal silver on the electrode surface. Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) was chosen to detect the amount of the deposited silver. The results showed that the anodic stripping peak current was linearly dependent on the PSA concentration in the range of 0.01-100 ng mL⁻¹, and a detection limit as low as 0.007 ng mL⁻¹ can be obtained. Since the cut-off value of human PSA is 4 ng mL⁻¹, the proposed electrochemical immunosensor would be expected to gain widespread applications for the detection of PSA in clinical diagnosis.     

Electrochemically oriented immobilization of antibody on poly-(2-cyano-ethylpyrrole)-coated gold electrode using a cyclic voltammetry

Using quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) as an immunosensor, this work investigates the contribution of a cyclic voltammetry (CV) on the proper immobilization of antibodies with the aim of enhancing its target recognition and binding ability. Primarily, CV in the range of −0.1 to 0.9 V was applied to form a layer of poly-(2-cyano-ethylpyrrole) (PCEPy) on gold quartz crystal electrode. Then the efficiencies of antibodies (anti-IgG, AIgG) immobilized electrochemically with CV applied in 0-0.65 V were compared to those immobilized via physical adsorption, by observing relative affinity towards AIgG-Fab and AIgG-Fc fragments. The results showed antibody-AIgG-Fab interaction could be enhanced about 4 times when CV is applied (11.2 ± 1.3 vs 41.6 ± 3.4 relative fluorescence unit). On the contrary, physisorbed antibodies showed a higher degree of affinity towards AIgG-Fc indicating inappropriate orientations of physisorbed antibodies. AIgG immobilized PCEPy-gold QC electrode was characterized further for its sensitivity towards a new target bovine albumin with both a QCM and fluorescence measurement. Such electrode exhibited a good sensitivity as well as a large linear dynamic range, from 0.4 μg/ml to 1.0 μg/ml and from 0.5 μg/ml to 10.0 μg/ml, at QCM and fluorescence measurement, respectively.     

Electrochemical Immunoassay for Carbohydrate Antigen‐125 Based on Polythionine and Gold Hollow Microspheres Modified Glassy Carbon Electrodes

A new electrochemical immunosensor for the detection of carbohydrate antigen‐125 (CA125), a carcinoma antigen, was developed by immobilization CA125 antibody (anti‐CA125) on gold hollow microspheres and porous polythionine (PTH) modified glassy carbon electrodes (GCE). The gold hollow microspheres provided a biocompatible microenvironment for proteins, and greatly amplified the coverage of anti‐CA125 molecules on the electrode surface. The performance and factors influencing the immunosensor were investigated in detail. The detection is based on the current change before and after the antigen‐antibody interaction. Under optimal conditions, the amperometric changes were proportional to CA125 concentration ranging from 4.5 to 36.5 U/mL with a detection limit of 1.3 U/mL (at 3σ). The CA125 immunosensor exhibited good precision, high sensitivity, acceptable stability, accuracy and reproducibility. The as‐prepared immunosensors were used to analyze CA125 in human serum specimens. Analytical results suggest that the developed immunoassay has a promising alternative approach for detecting CA125 in the clinical diagnosis.     

Label-free amperometric immunosensor based on prussian blue as artificial peroxidase for the detection of methamphetamine

A label-free amperometric immunosensor for the detection of methamphetamine was developed. The prussian blue deposited/l-cystine-modified electrode was covered with nano-Au/(3-mercaptorpropyl) trime-thoxysilane film. Then, the nano-Au was used for the immunosensor platform to capture a large amount of anti-methamphetamine. PB exhibited excellent electrocatalytical properties toward the reduction of H₂O₂ at low overpotentia to amplify the amperometric signal, which enhanced the sensitivity of the immunosensor. The active sites of PB could be shielded and the access of H₂O₂ from solution to the electrode might be partially blocked after the completion of immunoassay, led to a linear decrease in the response current of the electrode over the range from 1.0 × 10⁻⁸ to 5.0 × 10⁻⁶ mol L⁻¹of MA. The obtained immunosensor displayed excellent catalytic reduction toward H₂O₂ due to high activity and selectivity of PB. The influence of relevant experimental variables, including the construction of immunosensor platform, the amount of MPS and the time of immunoaction, was examined and optimized.     

Nanosilver-doped DNA polyion complex membrane for electrochemical immunoassay of carcinoembryonic antigen using nanogold-labeled secondary antibodies

A simple and sensitive electrochemical immunoassay protocol was developed for the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) using nanosilver-doped DNA polyion complex membrane (PIC) as sensing interface. To construct such an immunosensor, double-stranded DNA was initially assembled onto the surface of thionine/Nafion-modified screen-printed carbon electrode to adsorb silver ions with positive charges, then silver ions were reduced to nanosilver particles with the aid of NaBH₄, and then anti-CEA antibodies were immobilized on the nanosilver surface. Gold nanoparticles conjugated with horseradish peroxidase-labeled anti-CEA were employed as signal antibodies for the detection of CEA with a sandwich-type assay format. Under optimal conditions, the immunosensor exhibited a dynamic range of 0.03-32 ng mL⁻¹ with a low detection limit of 10 pg mL⁻¹ CEA. Intra- and inter-assay imprecision (CVs) were <9.5% and 6.5%, respectively. The response could remain 90.1% of the original current at 30th day. 50 real samples were evaluated using the immunosensor and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively, and received in accordance with those two methods.
