Gold nanoparticle-labeled detection antibodies for use in an enhanced electrochemical immunoassay of hepatitis B surface antigen in human serum

The application of gold nanoparticle-based electrochemical immunoassays have been extensively studied for the detection of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), but most often they exhibit low sensitivity. We describe the fabrication of a new electrochemical immunoassay for signal amplification of the antigen-antibody reaction combined with the nanogold-based bio-barcode technique. Hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) was initially immobilized on a nanogold/thionine/DNA-modified gold electrode, and then a sandwich-type immunoassay format was employed for the detection of HBsAg using nanogold-codified horseradish peroxidase-HBsAb conjugates as secondary antibodies. Under optimal conditions, the current response of the sandwich-type immunocomplex relative to the H₂O₂ system was proportional to HBsAg concentration in the range from 0.5 to 650 ng·mL^?1 with a detection limit of 0.1 ng·mL^?1 (S/N?=?3). The precision, reproducibility and stability of the immunosensor were acceptable. Subsequently, the immunosensors were used to assay HBsAg in human serum specimens. Analytical results were in agreement with those obtained by the standard chemiluminescence enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.     

Preparation,characterization and luminescence of transparent thin film of ionogels

The sol–gel fabrication of luminescent and transparent thin film of ionogels containing trivalent lanthanide complexes have been obtained from the silylated ionic liquid in the presence of lanthanide salts (Ln³⁺, Ln=Tb and Eu) and organic ligands. The resulting thin films were investigated by FT-IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and luminescence spectroscopy. FT-IR spectra reveal the hydrolysis and condensation of the silylated ionic liquid as well as the formation of luminescent lanthanide complexes in the thin films. Scanning electronic microscope images show the homogeneous characteristic of the thin films.
