Abstract
An electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor based on ECL resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) was designed to sensitively detect hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg). In this ECL-RET system, luminol was employed as ECL donor, and gold nanoparticles functionalized zirconium organoskeleton (UiO-66-NH2@Au) was prepared and served as ECL acceptor. The UiO-66-NH2@Au possessed an ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption between 400 nm and 500 nm, and the absorption spectra overlapped with the ECL spectrum of luminol. Furthermore, Graphene oxide-poly(aniline-luminol)-cobalt nanoparticles conjugates (GO-PALu-Co) was prepared to optimize the ECL behavior through the catalysis of Cobalt nanoparticles and served as a stable 3D porous film to load capture probe primary antibody (Ab1). Based on the ECL-RET biosensing method, the UiO-66-NH2@Au-labeled Ab2 and target HBsAg could pair with primary antibody Ab1 to form sandwich-type structure, and the ECL signal of GO-PALu-Co was quenched. Under optimized experimental conditions, the ECL-RET analytical method represented eminent analytical performance for HBsAg detection with a wide linear relationship from 2.2 × 10-13 to 2.2 × 10-5 mg/mL, and a detection limit of 9 × 10-14 mg/mL (S/N = 3), with spiked sample recoveries ranging from 97.27 % to 102.73 %. The constructed sensor has good stability, reproducibility, and specificity. It can be used to detect HBsAg in human serum and has the potential to be used for the sensitive detection of other disease biomarkers.

ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:7075-7084. [PMID: 38371773 PMCID: PMC10870287 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c09050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 12/24/2023] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/20/2024]
Abstract
Later flow immunochromatographic assay has been widely used in clinical, environmental, and other diagnostic applications owing to its high sensitivity and throughput. However, most immunoassays operate in the "turn-off" mode for detecting targets of low molecular weight. The signal intensity decreases as the analyte concentration increases, which poses a challenge for achieving ultrasensitive detection at low concentrations and is counterintuitive to new users. In this work, a fluorometric immunochromatographic assay (FICA) is developed to simultaneously read "turn-on" fluorescent and "turn-off" colorimetric signals, where ZnCdSe/ZnS quantum dots act as fluorescence donors and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) act as quenchers. The fluorescent signal (excitation/emission wavelengths of 365/525 nm) is positively correlated with analytes' concentration. Taking sibutramine (SBT) as the analysis target, the visual limit of detection for SBT reached 3.9 ng/mL, and the limit of Quantitation was 5.0 ng/mg in spiked samples. The developed FICA achieves a high sensitivity in SBT detection, which is much lower than that of the colloidal gold-based immunochromatographic assay. This dual-function detection mode has great potential to be used as a rapid on-site semiquantitative method, providing an alternative mode for the determination of low levels of target analytes.

Abstract
Nowadays, developing a cost-effective, easy-to-operate, and efficient signal amplification platform is of important to microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPAD) for end-use markets of point-of-care (POC) assay applications. Herein, an ultrasensitive, paper-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) bioassay platform is constructed by in situ grown ZnO/ZnIn2S4 heterojunctions onto paper fibers, which acted as photoactive signal amplification probes for enhancing the sensitivity of antibodies-based diagnostic assays, for the sensitive detection of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) targets. The crystalline flake-like ZnIn2S4 composited with hexagonal nanorods (NRs) morphology of ZnO is an in situ grown, at the first time, onto cellulose fibers surface supported with Au nanoparticle (Au NP) modification to improve conductivity of the device working zone. The obtained composites on paper fibers are implemented as a flexible paper-based photoelectrode to realize remarkable performance of the fabricated μPAD, resulting from the enhanced PEC activity of heterojunctions with effective electron-hole pair separation for accelerating photoelectric conversion efficiency of the sensing process under light irradiation. Once the target AFP was introduced into the biosensing interface assistant, with a specific recognition interaction of AFP antibody, a drastically photocurrent response was generated, in view of the apparent steric effects. With the concentration increase of AFP targets, more immune conjugates could be confined onto the biosensing interface, eventually leading to the quantitative decrease of photocurrent intensity. Combined with an ingenious origami design and permitting the hydrophobic/hydrophilic conversion procedure in the bioassay process, the ultrasensitive PEC detection of AFP targets was realized. Under the optimized conditions, the level of AFP could be sensitively tracked by the prepared μPAD with a liner range from 0.1 to 100 ng mL-1 and limit of detection of 0.03 ng mL-1. This work provides a great potential application for highly selective and sensitive POC testing of AFP, and finally, developments for clinical disease diagnosis.

A simple label-free electrochemical sensor for sensitive detection of alpha-fetoprotein based on specific aptamer immobilized platinum nanoparticles/carboxylated-graphene oxide.

Abstract
A label-free electrochemical aptamer-based sensor has been fabricated for alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) detection. Platinum nanoparticles on carboxylated-graphene oxide (PtNPs/GO-COOH) modified screen-printed graphene-carbon paste electrode (SPGE) was utilized as an immobilization platform, and the AFP aptamer was employed as a bio-recognition element. The synthesized GO-COOH helps to increase the surface area and amounts of the immobilized aptamer. Subsequently, PtNPs are decorated on GO-COOH to enhance electrical conductivity and an oxidation current of the hydroquinone electrochemical probe. The aptamer selectively interacts with AFP, causing a decrease in the peak current of the hydroquinone because the binding biomolecules on the electrode surface hinder the electron transfer of the redox probe. Effects of aptamer concentration and AFP incubation time were studied, and the current changes of the redox probe before and after AFP binding were investigated by square wave voltammetry. The developed aptasensor provides a linear range from 3.0–30 ng mL−1 with a detection limit of 1.22 ng mL−1. Moreover, the aptamer immobilized electrode offers high selectivity to AFP molecules, good stability, and sensitive determination of AFP in human serum samples with high recoveries.

Abstract
AbstractIn this study, N-(4-aminobutyl)-N-ethylisoluminol (ABEI) was used as an energy donor, while sodium fluorescein was used as an enhancer and energy acceptor, which resulted in it producing resonance energy transfer and greatly increasing the strength of chemiluminiscence (CL). When horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is added, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) will quickly separate into hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and superoxide ions (O2·−). If tyrosine (Tyr) is present in the system, the hydroxyl group on the benzene ring of Tyr robs ·OH and O2·− in the CL system, thereby reducing the intensity of CL. Based on this phenomenon, a luminescence system of ABEI and sodium fluorescein system was established to detect Tyr for the first time. This method has an ultra-low detection limit and a wide linear range, and is cheap and easy to operate. Under various optimal conditions, the linear range is from 3.0×10−8 to 3.0×10−5 mol/L, and the limit of detection is 2.4×10−8 mol/L. It has been successfully used in the detection of dairy products with satisfactory results.

Abstract
The detection of cancer biomarkers at an early stage of tumor development is vital for effective diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Current diagnostic tools can often detect cancer only when the biomarker levels are already too high, so that the tumors have spread and treatments are less effective. It is urgent therefore to develop highly sensitive assays for the detection of such biomarkers at the lowest possible concentration. In this context, we developed a sandwich immunoassay based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for the ultrasensitive detection of α-fetoprotein (AFP), which is typically present in human serum as a biomarker indicative of early stages of hepatocellular carcinoma. In the immunoassay design, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) modified with a monoclonal antibody was used as a capture probe for AFP. A secondary antibody linked to an SERS-encoded nanoparticle was employed as the Raman signal reporter, that is, the transducer for AFP detection. The sandwich immunocomplex "capture probe/target/SERS tag" was deposited on a silicon wafer and decorated with silver-coated gold nanocubes to increase the density of "hot spots" on the surface of the immunosensor. The developed SERS immunosensor exhibits a wide linear detection range (1 pg mL-1 to 10 ng mL-1) with a limit of detection as low as 0.03 pg mL-1 toward AFP with good reproducibility (RSD < 6%) and stability. These parameters demonstrate that the proposed immunosensor has the potential to be used as an analytical platform for the detection of early-stage cancer biomarkers in clinical applications.

Antibody engineering-driven controllable chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer for immunoassay with tunable dynamic range. Anal Chim Acta 2021; 1152:338231.

Abstract
The donor-acceptor distance is a critical factor for the occurrence of chemiluminescent resonance energy transfer (CRET). We herein evaluate the donor-acceptor distance and transfer efficiency of CRET immunoassays of a series of donors which contain different sized antibody fragments, intact monoclonal antibody (IgG), antigen binding fragment (Fab), and single chain fragment antibody (scFv). Core/multishell quantum dots were used as the acceptor in three CRET systems. IgG is the maximum antibody fragment, leading to the longest donor-acceptor distance and the lowest transfer efficiency. Donors with Fab and scFv show significantly decreased distance and increased transfer efficiency. These results suggest an inverse correlation between donor size and transfer efficiency and can be used to provide guidance for the construction of controllable CRET. By combining the controllable CRET with immunoassay, we further develop a tunable sulfamethazine analytical system. Three different sized donors based CRET immunoassay show a markedly different sensitivity and dynamic range. Such adjustable detection provides greater flexibility for contaminant detection in different foodstuffs with different residue limits. This work not only illustrates the effect of donor-acceptor distance on regulating the energy transfer efficiency of CRET system, but also provides a guideline for the construction of a tunable immunoassay.

Abstract
MIT is a promising strategy in antibody free analysis for tumour markers. Conventional nanosized MIPs with off-line analysis are beset by tedious operation and unsatisfactory analysis performance. In this work, an on-line analytical device to directly detect AFP, which is a typical tumour marker in cancer screening, was prepared for the first time. A microscope slide was chosen to be the basis of the device. APBA-PA, a polymerizable fluorescent boronic acid monomer, was synthesised and grafted on the surface of the microscope slide to act as the signal transduction pathway between the templates and the device. Along with the hydrolysis of TEOS and the elution of the templates, a portable, stable, easy to operate and low-cost analysis device for AFP with excellent repeatability was successfully prepared. Owing to the excellent selectivity and highly sensitive fluorescence response ability of the device towards the templates, the on-line detection of AFP in human serum was realized. A series of characterizations were applied to the device, and its analysis performance and possible detection mechanism were carefully studied. Furthermore, the device exhibited appropriate application prospects by comparing its analysis results with those of the commercially available ELISA. In our perception, this work is an important step towards MIPs for clinical applications.

Abstract
Abstract
Radiationless resonance electronic excitation energy transfer (ET) is a fundamental physical phenomenon in luminescence spectroscopy playing an important role in natural processes, especially in photosynthesis and biochemistry. Besides, it is widely used in photooptics, optoelectronics, and protein chemistry, coordination chemistry of transition metals and lanthanides as well as in luminescent analysis. ET involves the transfer of electronic energy from a donor (D) (molecules or particles) which is initially excited, to an acceptor (A) at the ground state to emit it later. Fluorescence or phosphorescence of the acceptor that occurs during ET is known as sensitized. There do many kinds of ET exist but in all cases along with other factors the rate and efficiency of ET in common solvents depends to a large extent on the distance between the donor and the acceptor. This dependency greatly limits the efficiency of ET and, correspondingly, does not allow the determination of analytes in highly diluted (10–9–10–15 M) solutions. To solve the problem of distance-effect, the effects of concentrating and bring close together the donor and acceptor in surfactant micelles (liquid nanosystems) or sorption on solid nanoparticles are used. Various approaches to promote the efficiency of ET for improvement determination selectivity and sensitivity using liquid and solid nanoobjects is reviewed and analyzed.

Abstract
Due to the risks that water contamination implies for human health and environmental protection, monitoring the quality of water is a major concern of the present era. Therefore, in recent years several efforts have been dedicated to the development of fast, sensitive, and selective sensors for the detection of heavy metal ions. In particular, fluorescent sensors have gained in popularity due to their interesting features, such as high specificity, sensitivity, and reversibility. Thus, this review is devoted to the recent advances in fluorescent sensors for the monitoring of these contaminants, and special focus is placed on those devices based on fluorescent aptasensors, quantum dots, and organic dyes.

Abstract
Surface modified colloidal gold (Au) and silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) were used as efficient quenchers of luminol (LH2) fluorescence either in homogeneous aqueous medium or its noncovalent assembly with bovine serum albumin (BSA). The mechanism as well as the extent of fluorescence quenching was found to be strongly dependent on the nature of the nanoparticles. While simple static type fluorescence quenching mechanism was perceived with AuNP, a more complex protocol involving quenching sphere model was envisaged for AgNP quenching. Nevertheless, the magnitude of Stern-Volmer (SV) quenching constant (KSV ~ 108-1010 M-1) was calculated to be ca. 104 times more for surface quoted NPs in comparison with BSA-NP bioconjugates system. On the other hand, a highly efficient (E ≈ 95%) energy transfer (ET) process was predicted for LH2 captured in the hydrophobic assembly with BSA in presence of AgNP as an acceptor. The ET efficiency is critically dependent on the concentration of BSA and nicely correlated with the extent of NP surface coverage. However, fluorescence quenching on AuNP surface is relatively less responsive towards protein concentration, primarily due to the difference in surface activity as well as the mode of interaction of the protein with NPs. Graphical Abstract Energy transfer from excited luminol to metal nanoparticles is strongly modulated in presence of serum albumins.

Abstract
Magnetofluorescent nanocomposites with optimal magnetic and fluorescent properties were prepared and characterized by combining magnetic nanoparticles (iron oxide@polymethyl methacrylate) with fluorescent nanoparticles (rhodamine 6G@mSiO2). Experimental parameters were optimized to produce nanocomposites with high magnetic susceptibility and fluorescence intensity. The detection of a model biomarker (alpha-fetoprotein) was used to demonstrate the feasibility of applying the magnetofluorescent nanocomposites combined with quantum dots and using magnetic fluorescence-linked immunoassay. The magnetofluorescent nanocomposites enable efficient mixing, fast re-concentration, and nanoparticle quantization for optimal reactions. Biofunctional quantum dots were used to confirm the alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) content in sandwich immunoassay after mixing and washing. The analysis time was only one third that required in ELISA. The detection limit was 0.2 pg mL-1, and the linear range was 0.68 pg mL-1-6.8 ng mL-1. This detection limit is lower, and the linear range is wider than those of ELISA and other methods. The measurements made using the proposed method differed by less than 13% from those obtained using ELISA for four AFP concentrations (0.03, 0.15, 0.75, and 3.75 ng mL-1). The proposed method has a considerable potential for biomarker detection in various analytical and biomedical applications. Graphical abstract Magnetofluorescent nanocomposites combined with fluorescent quantum dots were used in magnetic fluorescence-linked immunoassay.

Abstract
In vitro biosensors have been an integral component for early diagnosis of cancer in the clinic. Among them, no-wash biosensors, which only depend on the simple mixing of the signal generating probes and the sample solution without additional washing and separation steps, have been found to be particularly attractive. The outstanding advantages of facile, convenient, and rapid response of no-wash biosensors are especially suitable for point-of-care testing (POCT). One fast-growing field of no-wash biosensor design involves the usage of nanomaterials as signal amplification carriers or direct signal generating elements. The analytical capacity of no-wash biosensors with respect to sensitivity or limit of detection, specificity, stability, and multiplexing detection capacity is largely improved because of their large surface area, excellent optical, electrical, catalytic, and magnetic properties. This review provides a comprehensive overview of various nanomaterial-enhanced no-wash biosensing technologies and focuses on the analysis of the underlying mechanism of these technologies applied for the early detection of cancer biomarkers ranging from small molecules to proteins, and even whole cancerous cells. Representative examples are selected to demonstrate the proof-of-concept with promising applications for in vitro diagnostics of cancer. Finally, a brief discussion of common unresolved issues and a perspective outlook on the field are provided.

Abstract
Periodically patterned Au nanorods in TiO2 nanocavities (Au NRs@TiO2) were fabricated via magnetron sputtering followed by a thermal dewetting process. This innovative Au NRs@TiO2 heterostructure was used as a plasmonic sensing platform for photoelectrochemical detection of glucose and lactose. This Au NRs@TiO2 patterned heterostructure possesses superior sensing properties to other Au nanoparticle-based sensors because (i) localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) generated at Au/TiO2 interfaces enhanced sensitivity of glucose (lactose) amperometric detection; (ii) periodic Au nanocrystals in TiO2 nanocavities accelerated charge separation and transfer rate, especially under monochromatic blue light irradiation; (iii) discrete planar architectures comprising Au NRs immobilized on TiO2 substrates significantly improved stability and reusability of the sensors. A low detection limit of 1 μM (10 μM) and a high sensitivity of 812 μA mM-1 cm-2 (270 μA mM-1 cm-2) were achieved on the Au NRs@TiO2 heterostructures for glucose (lactose) detection without the addition of enzymes. Good selectivity and superb stability over more than 8 weeks was also demonstrated using these Au NRs@TiO2 heterostructures for glucose (lactose) detection. Additionally, this cost-efficient technique can be easily extended to other photoelectrochemical sensing systems when considering the combination of sensing and visible or infrared light source enhancement.

Abstract
Using a dual DNA aptamer (CEA aptamer linked to hemin aptamer), capable of rapidly capturing carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and hemin, an all-in-one dual-aptasensor with 1,1'-oxalyldiimidazole (ODI) chemiluminescence detection was developed for the early diagnosis of human cancer. CEA and hemin competitively bound with the dual DNA aptamer while the mixture in a detection cell was incubated for 30min at room temperature. When Amplex Red and H2O2 were added in the detection cell after the incubation, the yield of resorufin formed from the reaction Amplex Red and H2O2 depended on the concentration of HRP-mimicking G-quardruplex DNAzyme formed from the binding interaction between hemin and the dual DNA aptamer. Bright red light was observed with the addition of ODI and H2O2 in the detection cell containing resorufin. Relative CL intensity of all-in-one dual-aptasensor, operated with the competitive reaction of CEA and hemin in the presence of the dual aptamer, was exponentially decreased with the increase of CEA concentration in human serum. The limit of detection (LOD=3σ) of the all-in-one dual-aptasensor which operated with excellent accuracy, precision, and reproducibility was as low as 0.58ng/ml. The good correlation between the easy to use all-in-one dual-aptasensor and conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), operated with time consuming procedures (e.g., long incubations and multiple washings), indicates that the rapid all-in-one dual-aptasensor can be applied as a novel clinical tool for the early diagnosis of breast cancer.

Abstract
Ultrasensitive and quantitative fast screening of cancer biomarkers by immunochromatography test strip (ICTS) is still challenging in clinic. The gold nanoparticles (NPs) based ICTS with colorimetric readout enables a quick spectrum screening but suffers from nonquantitative performance; although ICTS with fluorescence readout (FICTS) allows quantitative detection, its sensitivity still deserves more efforts and attentions. In this work, by taking advantages of colorimetric ICTS and FICTS, we described a reverse fluorescence enhancement ICTS (rFICTS) with bimodal signal readout for ultrasensitive and quantitative fast screening of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). In the presence of target, gold NPs aggregation in T line induced colorimetric readout, allowing on-the-spot spectrum screening in 10 min by naked eye. Meanwhile, the reverse fluorescence enhancement signal enabled more accurately quantitative detection with better sensitivity (5.89 pg/mL for CEA), which is more than 2 orders of magnitude lower than that of the conventional FICTS. The accuracy and stability of the rFICTS were investigated with more than 100 clinical serum samples for large-scale screening. Furthermore, this rFICTS also realized postoperative monitoring by detecting CEA in a patient with colon cancer and comparing with CT imaging diagnosis. These results indicated this rFICTS is particularly suitable for point-of-care (POC) diagnostics in both resource-rich and resource-limited settings.

Abstract
Exploration of quantum dots (QDs) as energy acceptors revolutionizes the current chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET), since QDs possess large Stokes shifts and high luminescence efficiency. However, the strong and high concentration of oxidant (typically H2O2) needed for luminol chemiluminescence (CL) reaction could cause oxidative quenching to QDs, thereby decreasing the CRET performance. Here we proposed the use of bienzyme-QDs bioconjugate as the energy acceptor for improved CRET sensing. Two enzymes, one for H2O2 generation (oxidase) and another for H2O2 consumption (horseradish peroxidase, HRP), were bioconjugated onto the surface of QDs. The bienzyme allowed fast in situ cascaded H2O2 generation and consumption, thus alleviating fluorescence quenching of QDs. The nanosized QDs accommodate the two enzymes in a nanometric range, and the CL reaction was confined on the surface of QDs accordingly, thereby amplifying the CL reaction rate and improving CRET efficiency. As a result, CRET efficiency of 30-38% was obtained; the highest CRET efficiency by far was obtained using QDs as the energy acceptor. The proposed CRET system could be explored for ultrasensitive sensing of various oxidase substrates (here exemplified with cholesterol, glucose, and benzylamine), allowing for quantitative measurement of a spectrum of metabolites with high sensitivity and specificity. Limits of detection (LOD, 3σ) for cholesterol, glucose, and benzylamine were found to be 0.8, 3.4, and 10 nM, respectively. Furthermore, multiparametric blood analysis (glucose and cholesterol) is demonstrated.

[PMID: 26620098 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2015.11.053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2015] [Revised: 10/29/2015] [Accepted: 11/17/2015] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) graphene, sp2-hybridized carbon, and its two major derivatives, graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) have played an important role in immunoassays (IAs) and immunosensing (IMS) platforms for the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), an implicated tumor biomarker found in several types of cancer. The graphene family with high surface area is functionalized to form stable nanocomposites with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and electron mediators. The capture anti-CEA antibody (Ab) with high density can be anchored on AuNPs of such composites to provide remarkable detection sensitivity, significantly below the level found in normal subjects and cancer patients. Electrochemical and fluorescence/chemiluminescence-quenching properties of graphene-based nanocomposites are exploited in various detection schemes. Future endeavors are envisioned for the development of an array platform with high-throughput for CEA together with other tumor biomarkers and C-reactive protein, a universal biomarker for infection and inflammation. The ongoing efforts dedicated to the replacement of a lab-based detector by a cellphone with smart applications will further enable cost-effective and frequent monitoring of CEA in order to establish its clinical relevance and provide tools for real-time monitoring of patients during chemotherapy.

Abstract
A homogeneous immunoassay for the sensitive and selective determination of trace amounts of α-fetoprotein (AFP, a cancer marker) by detection in the near-infrared (NIR) region based on luminescence energy transfer (LET) from NaYF4:Yb,Tm/NaGdF4 core-shell upconverting nanoparticles to gold nanorods (GNRs) is presented. The carboxyl-functionalized NaYF4:Yb,Tm/NaGdF4 core-shell upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) were excited by a 980 nm continuous wavelength laser, and its emission peak appeared at a near-infrared wavelength (∼804 nm). The carboxyl-functionalized upconverting nanoparticles were conjugated with the anti-AFP (Ab1) and acted as donor. GNRs with a high absorption band around 790 nm, which was overlapped the UCNPs emission, were synthesized and acted as the acceptor. The donor (negatively charged) interacted with the acceptor (positively charged) via electrostatic interactions to bring them into close proximity. LET could occur, producing a quenching phenomenon. When the AFP antigens were added into the system, the binding affinity between AFP and Ab1 was stronger than the electrostatic interactions, which released the energy acceptors from the energy donors, interrupting luminescence energy transfer, and therefore, the luminescence was recovered. On the basis of the restored luminescence, a turn-on optical immunosening system was developed. Under the optimal conditions, the linear range of detection was from 0.18 to 11.44 ng/mL for AFP (R = 0.99), with a detection limit as low as 0.16 ng/mL. The proposed method has also been used to monitor AFP in human serum samples. Therefore, further study based on the NaYF4:Yb,Tm/NaGdF4 core-shell nanoparticles-GNRs construction may open the way for a new class of NIR-LET biosensors with wide applications.

Abstract
Chemiluminescence (CL) is an important method for quantification and analysis of various macromolecules. A wide range of CL agents such as luminol, hydrogen peroxide, fluorescein, dioxetanes and derivatives of oxalate, and acridinium dyes are used according to their biological specificity and utility. This review describes the application of luminol chemiluminescence (LCL) in forensic, biomedical, and clinical sciences. LCL is a very useful detection method due to its selectivity, simplicity, low cost, and high sensitivity. LCL has a dynamic range of applications, including quantification and detection of macro and micromolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, DNA, and RNA. Luminol-based methods are used in environmental monitoring as biosensors, in the pharmaceutical industry for cellular localization and as biological tracers, and in reporter gene-based assays and several other immunoassays. Here, we also provide information about different compounds that may enhance or inhibit the LCL along with the effect of pH and concentration on LCL. This review covers most of the significant information related to the applications of luminol in different fields.

Abstract
Detection of tumor markers is important for cancer diagnosis. Field-effect transistors (FETs) are a promising method for the label-free detection of trace amounts of biomolecules. However, detection of electrically charged proteins using antibody-immobilized FETs is limited by ionic screening by the large probe molecules adsorbed to the transistor gate surface, reducing sensor responsiveness. Here, we investigated the effect of probe molecule size on the detection of a tumor marker, α-fetoprotein (AFP) using a FET biosensor. We demonstrated that the small receptor antigen binding fragment (Fab), immobilized on a sensing surface as small as 2–3 nm, offers a higher degree of sensitivity and a wider concentration range (100 pg/mL–1 μg/mL) for the FET detection of AFP in buffer solution, compared to the whole antibody. Therefore, the use of a small Fab probe molecule instead of a whole antibody is shown to be effective for improving the sensitivity of AFP detection in FET biosensors. Furthermore, we also demonstrated that a Fab-immobilized FET subjected to a blocking treatment, to avoid non-specific interactions, could sensitively and selectively detect AFP in human serum.

Abstract
We have designed a single-stranded DNAzyme-aptamer sensor for homogeneous target molecular detection based on chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET). The structure of the engineered single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) includes the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-like DNAzyme, optimum-length linker (10-mer-length DNA), and target-specific aptamer sequences. A quencher dye was modified at the 3' end of the aptamer sequence. The incorporation of hemin into the G-quadruplex structure of DNAzyme yields an active HRP-like activity that catalyzes luminol to generate a chemiluminescence (CL) signal. In the presence of target molecules, such as ochratoxin A (OTA), adenosine triphosphate (ATP), or thrombin, the aptamer sequence was folded due to the formation of the aptamer/analyte complex, which induced the quencher dye close to the DNAzyme structure. Consequently, the CRET occurred between a DNAzyme-catalyzed chemiluminescence reaction and the quencher dye. Our results showed that CRET-based DNAzyme-aptamer biosensing enabled specific OTA analysis with a limit of detection of 0.27ng/mL. The CRET platform needs no external light source and avoids autofluorescence and photobleaching, and target molecules can be detected specifically and sensitively in a homogeneous manner.

Abstract
We report a new chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET) technique, using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as efficient energy acceptor, for homogeneous measurement of cell apoptosis enzyme with high sensitivity. In the design of the CRET system, we chose the highly sensitive chemiluminescence (CL) reaction between luminol and hydrogen peroxide catalysed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) because the CL spectrum of luminol (λ max 425 nm) partially overlaps the visible absorption bands of AuNPs. In this system, the peptide substrate (DEVD) of caspase 3 was linked to the AuNP surface by Au-S linkage. HRP was attached to the AuNP surface by means of a bridge formed by the streptavidin-biotin reaction. CRET occurred as a result of formation of AuNP-peptide-biotin-streptavidin-HRP complexes. The CL of luminol was significantly reduced, because of the quenching effect of AuNPs. The quenched CL was recovered after cleavage of DEVD by caspase 3, an enzyme involved in the apoptotic process. Experimental conditions were systematically investigated. Under the optimum conditions the increase of the CL signal was linearly dependent on caspase 3 concentration within the concentration range 25 pmol L(-1) to 800 pmol L(-1) and the detection limit of caspase 3 was as low as 20 pmol L(-1), one order of magnitude lower than for FRET sensors based on graphene oxides. Our method was successfully used to detect drug-induced apoptosis of cells. This approach is expected to be extended to other assays, i.e., using other enzymes, analytes, CL substances, and even other nanoparticles (e.g., quantum dots and graphene).

Abstract
In this article, we report a gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) sensing platform based on chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET) for light on detection of biomolecules. In designing such a CRET-based biosensing platform, the aptamer was first covalently labeled with a chemiluminescent reagent, N-(4-aminobutyl)-N-ethylisoluminol (ABEI). The ABEI labeled aptamer was then hybridized with AuNPs functionalized ssDNA which was complementary to the aptamer, obtaining the aptasensor. The CRET between ABEI and AuNPs in the aptasensor led to the CL quenching of ABEI. In the presence of a target analyte, it formed a complex with aptamer, and released ABEI-aptamer from AuNPs surface that resulted in CL recovery of ABEI. To test this design, a thrombin (used as a model analyte) aptasensor was prepared and evaluated. The results indicate that the proposed approach is simple and provided a linear range of 50-550 pM for thrombin detection with a detection limit of 15 pM. This new methodology can be easily extended to assay other biomolecules by simply changing the recognition sequence with the substrate aptamer.

Visual representation and quantification of biological processes at the cellular and subcellular levels within living subjects are gaining great interest in life science to address frontier issues in pathology and physiology. As intact living subjects do not emit any optical signature, visual representation usually exploits nano-scale imaging agents as the source of image contrast. Many imaging agents have been developed for this purpose, some of which exert nonspecific, passive, and physical interaction with a target. Current research interest in molecular imaging has mainly shifted to fabrication of smartly integrated, specific, and versatile agents that emit fluorescence or luminescence as an optical readout. These agents include luminescent quantum dots (QDs), biofunctional antibodies, and multifunctional nanoparticles. Furthermore, genetically encoded nano-imaging agents embedding fluorescent proteins or luciferases are now gaining popularity. These agents are generated by integrative design of the components, such as luciferase, flexible linker, and receptor to exert a specific on-off switching in the complex context of living subjects. In the present review, we provide an overview of the basic concepts, smart design, and practical contribution of recent nano-scale imaging agents, especially with respect to genetically encoded imaging agents.
