Electrochemical biosensor for rapid and sensitive monitoring of sulfadimethoxine based on nanoporous carbon and aptamer system. Food Chem 2024; 445:138787. [PMID: 38382254 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.138787] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
In this study, a straightforward electrochemical aptasensor was developed to detect sulfadimethoxine (SDM). It included a glassy carbon electrode decorated by boron nitride quantum dots (BNQDs) and aptamer-functionalized nanoporous carbon (APT/CZ). CZ was first synthesized by calcinating a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8). Then, the electroactive dye methylene blue (MB) was entrapped inside its pores. By attaching aptamer to the CZ surface, APT/CZ acted as a bioguard, which prevented the MB release. Therefore, the electrochemical signal of the entrapped MB was high in the absence of SDM. Introducing SDM caused the conformation of aptamers to change, and a large number of MB was released, which was removed by washing. Therefore, the detection strategy was done based on the change in the electrochemical signal intensity of MB. The aptasensor was applied to detect SDM at a concentration range of 10-17 to 10-7 M with a detection limit of 3.6 × 10-18 M.

Abstract
In recent decades, there has been a concerning and consistent rise in the incidence of cancer, posing a significant threat to human health and overall quality of life. The transferrin receptor (TfR) is one of the most crucial protein biomarkers observed to be overexpressed in various cancers. This study reports on the development of a novel voltammetric immunosensor for TfR detection. The electrochemical platform was made up of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) functionalized with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), on which anti-TfR was immobilized. The surface characteristics and electrochemical behaviors of the modified electrodes were comprehensively investigated through scanning electron microscopy, XPS, Raman spectroscopy FT-IR, electrochemical cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy. The developed immunosensor exhibited robust analytical performance with TfR fortified buffer solution, showing a linear range (LR) response from 0.01 to 3000 μg/mL, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.01 μg/mL and reproducibility (RSD <4 %). The fabricated sensor demonstrated high reproducibility and selectivity when subjected to testing with various types of interfering proteins. The immunosensor designed for TfR detection demonstrated several advantageous features, such as being cost-effective and requiring a small volume of test sample making it highly suitable for point-of-care applications.

Abstract
The degree of the carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA-125) level in serum is positively correlated with the severity of ovarian cancer. In this study, a facile photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunoassay was devised for sensitive detection of CA-125 employing enzyme-catalyzed precipitation to weaken the photocurrent of hollow porous In2O3 nanotubes incorporating CdS nanoparticles. Upon the addition of the target analyte, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enriches as a result of the formation of the sandwich immunocomplex, which can catalyze the conversion of 4-chloro1-naphthol (4-CN) to benzo-4-chlorohexadienone (4-CD) employing H2O2 as a cofactor. The as-produced insoluble precipitate acts as an obstacle to hinder the absorption of visible light by photoactive materials, thereby resulting in a decrease in photocurrent. Moreover, the weakened signal can be easily read out by a digital multimeter (DMM), advancing the convenience of the detection system. The preliminary analysis data indicate that the PEC immunoassay shows an efficient response to CA-125 levels ranging from 0.1 to 100 U mL-1 with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.046 U mL-1 (S/N = 3). Most importantly, the proposed portable method has shown satisfactory performance in terms of selectivity, reproducibility, stability, and analysis in complex biological matrices.

Abstract
CA125 (carbohydrate antigen 125) is an important biomarker of ovarian cancer, so developing effective method for its detection is of great significance. In the present work, a novel sandwich-like electrochemical immunosensor (STEM) of CA125 was constructed by preparing nanoribbon-like Ti3C2Tx MXenes (Ti3C2TxNR) to immobilize primary antibody (PAb) of CA125 and UIO-66-NH2 MOFs structure to immobilize second antibody (SAb) and electroactive toluidine blue (Tb) probe. In this designed STEM assay, the as-prepared Ti3C2TxNR nanohybrid offers the advantages in large surface area and conductivity as carrier, and UIO-66-NH2 provided an ideal platform to accommodate SAb and a large number of Tb molecules as signal amplifier. In the presence of CA125, the peak currents of Tb from the formed STEM structure increase with the increase of CA125 level. After optimizing the related control conditions, a wide linear range (0.2-150.0 U mL-1) and a very low detection limit (0.05 U mL-1) of CA125 were achieved. It's thus expected the developed STEM strategy has important applications for the detection of CA125.

Abstract
In this study, a simple, specific and sensitive immunosensor for CEA detection was prepared based on BN nanosheets. Lewis acid-base interaction was sufficient for the immobilization of anti-CEA used as an antibody on the electrode surface without an activation agent. This immunosensor could be used for CEA determination without the need to use any label or secondary antibody. With its epedance-based recognition mechanism, this immunosensor offered a low LOD value of 0.017 ng/mL and a wide measurement range of 0.1-500 ng/mL and could be used for a long time. The analytical performance of this immunosensor is higher than the biosensors prepared in the literature. Compared to commercially available kits, it is attractive because it is cheap, simple and analyzes in a short time. This immunosensor, which has high selectivity against CEA in the presence of competitive agents in commercial human serum, has a high potential for clinical applications.

Abstract
The rising incidence and mortality rates of cancer have led to a growing need for precise and prompt early diagnostic approaches to effectively combat this disease. However, traditional methods employed for detecting tumor cells, such as histopathological and immunological techniques, are often associated with complex procedures, high analytical expenses, elevated false positive rates, and a dependence on experienced personnel. Tracking tumor markers is recognized as one of the most effective approaches for early detection and prognosis of cancer. While onco-biomarkers can also be produced in normal circumstances, their concentration is significantly elevated when tumors are present. By monitoring the levels of these markers, healthcare professionals can obtain valuable insights into the presence, progression, and response to treatment of cancer, aiding in timely diagnosis and effective management. This review aims to provide researchers with a comprehensive overview of the recent advancements in tumor markers using electrochemical immunosensors. By highlighting the latest developments in this field, researchers can gain a general understanding of the progress made in the utilization of electrochemical immunosensors for detecting tumor markers. Furthermore, this review also discusses the current limitations associated with electrochemical immunosensors and offers insights into paving the way for further improvements and advancements in this area of research.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex pathological process that is one of the leading causes of dementia globally. The demand for diagnostic tools that are minimally invasive, timely, and accurate is on the rise. Total tau (T-Tau) protein in blood serum is a promising biomarker for predicting early-stage AD diagnosis. In this study, the hexagonal boron nitride (HBN) based immunosensor platform was developed to detect T-Tau in artificial blood serum. After the exfoliation of HBN, its surface was coated with polydopamine (PDA) in alkaline conditions. The Anti-T-Tau was immobilized on a hydrophilic nanocomposite surface using PDA's reactive catechol and quinone groups, eliminating the need for extra crosslinkers. The working electrode surface of the screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) was coated with HBN-PDA nanocomposite using the drop-casting method. The biofunctional surface was created by directly immobilizing Anti-T-Tau on the HBN-PDA nanocomposite-modified SPCE. The analytical performance of the HBN-PDA/Anti-T-Tau/T-Tau immunosensor in the presence of T-Tau isoforms was determined through electrochemical measurements. The linear detection range was 1-30 pg/mL with a detection limit of 0.42 pg/mL for T-Tau, which is suitable for detecting T-Tau in the blood serum.

Abstract
Epithelial ovarian cancer is a malignant tumor of the female reproductive system with insidious symptoms, aggressiveness, risk of metastasis, and high mortality. Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), a standard biomarker for screening epithelial ovarian cancer, can be applied to track cancer progression and treatment response. Here, we constructed an aptamer-based electrochemical biosensor to achieve sensitive detection of CA125. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) was used as the stable layered substrate, combined with the irregular branched structure of gold nanoflowers (AuNFs) to provide the sensing interface with a large specific surface area by one-step electrodeposition AuNFs@MoS2. The simplified electrode modification step increased the stability of the electrode while ensuring excellent electrochemical performance and providing many sulfhydryl binding sites. Then, AuNFs@MoS2/CA125 aptamer/MCH sensor was designed for CA125 detection. Based on AuNFs@MoS2 electrode, CA125 aptamer with sulfhydryl as the sensitive layer was fixed on the electrode by gold sulfur bonds. 6-Mercapto-1-hexanol (MCH) was used to block the electrode and reduce the non-specific adsorption. Finally, DPV analysis was applied for CA125 detection with the range of 0.0001 U/mL to 500 U/mL. Our designed aptamer sensor showed reasonable specificity, reproducibility, and stability. Clinical sample testing also proved the consistency of our sensor with the gold standard in negative/positive judgment. This work demonstrated a novel strategy for integrating nanostructures and biocompatibility to build advanced cancer biomarker sensors with promising applications.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC), one of the most common and life-threatening cancers, has the highest incidence rate among women. Early diagnosis of BC oncomarkers is considered the most effective strategy for detecting and treating BC. Finding the type and stage of BC in women as soon as possible is one of the greatest ways to stop its incidence and negative effects on medical treatment. The development of biosensors for early, sensitive, and selective detection of oncomarkers has recently attracted much attention. An electrochemical nano biosensor (EN) is a very suitable option for a powerful tool for cancer diagnosis. This comprehensive review provides information about the prevalence and pathobiology of BC, recent advances in clinically available BC oncomarkers, and the most common electrochemical nano biosensors for point-of-care (POC) detection of various BC oncomarkers using nanomaterial-based signal amplification techniques.

[PMID: 36719438 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-023-04569-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2022] [Revised: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
The blood levels of cancer antigen 125 (CA125) and human epididymal secretory protein 4 (HE4) are measured in the diagnosis and progression monitoring of ovarian cancer (OC), and the Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm (ROMA) score% values are calculated for cancer risk assessment. For the first time, disposable dual screen-printed carbon electrodes modified with reduced graphene oxide, polythionine, and gold nanoparticles were used to fabricate label-free electrochemical dual CA125-HE4 immunosensors for the sensitive, fast, and practical simultaneous determination of CA125 and HE4. DPV and SWV methods were used to simultaneously determine antigens in two different linear ranges (1-100 pg mL-1 and 1-50 ng mL-1). High sensitivity, low LOD, and LOQ were obtained for two linear ranges with a correlation coefficient above 0.99. The application stability of the dual CA125-HE4 immunosensors was determined as 60 days, and the storage stability was determined as 16 weeks. The dual immunosensors exhibited high selectivity in eight different antigen mixtures. The reusability of the dual immunosensors has been tested up to 9 cycles. ROMA score% values for pre-menopausal and post-menopausal status were calculated using the concentration of CA125 and HE4 in the blood serum and assessing OC risk. The disposable dual immunosensors can be used in point-of-care tests for rapid and practical simultaneous determination of CA125 and HE4 with high selectivity, sensitivity, and repeatability.

Abstract
Boron nitride nanoparticles have been reported for boron drug delivery. However, its toxicity has not been systematically elucidated. It is necessary to clarify their potential toxicity profile after administration for clinical application. Here, we prepared erythrocyte membrane-coated boron nitride nanoparticles (BN@RBCM). We expect to use them for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) in tumors. In this study, we evaluated the acute toxicity and subacute toxicity of BN@RBCM of about 100 nm and determined the half-lethal dose (LD50) of the particles for mice. The results showed that the LD50 of BN@RBCM was 258.94 mg/kg. No remarkable pathological changes by microscopic observation were observed in the treated animals throughout the study period. These results indicate that BN@RBCM has low toxicity and good biocompatibility, which have great potential for biomedical applications.

Abstract
With its fatal effects, cancer is still one of the most important diseases of today's world. The underlying fact behind this scenario is most probably due to its late diagnosis. That is why the necessity for the detection of different cancer types is obvious. Cancer studies including cancer diagnosis and therapy have been one of the most laborious tasks. Since its early detection significantly affects the following therapy steps, cancer diagnosis is very important. Despite researchers' best efforts, the accurate and rapid diagnosis of cancer is still challenging and difficult to investigate. It is known that electrochemical techniques have been successfully adapted into the cancer diagnosis field. Electrochemical sensor platforms that are brought together with the excellent selectivity of biosensing elements, such as nucleic acids, aptamers or antibodies, have put forth very successful outputs. One of the remarkable achievements of these biomolecule-attached sensors is their lack of need for additional labeling steps, which bring extra burdens such as interference effects or demanding modification protocols. In this review, we aim to outline label-free cancer diagnosis platforms that use electrochemical methods to acquire signals. The classification of the sensing platforms is generally presented according to their recognition element, and the most recent achievements by using these attractive sensing substrates are described in detail. In addition, the current challenges are discussed.

Abstract
Herein, a novel dual-channel electrochemical immunosensor was fabricated via vertical growth of AuPt-decorated boron-doped graphene (AuPt-BG) nanosheets as a signal amplification platform to detect cancer antigen 153 (CA153). Highly open, porous AuPt-BG films were synthesized using one-step electron-assisted hot-filament chemical vapor deposition. The Au-Pt alloy nanoparticles were dispersed on BG nanosheets to improve their biocompatibility, and antibodies (Ab) were directly bonded to the AuPt-BG electrode. The architectures enlarged the loading of CA153Ab and efficiently catalyzed the Fe(CN)63-/4- reaction, ultimately amplifying the signals. This novel strategy allows the simultaneous detection of CA153 in the oxidation and reduction channels, improving the reliability of the detection results. The AuPt-BG-based immunosensor exhibited a lower detection limit (0.0012 mU mL-1, S/N = 3) and wider linear range (0.1-4 × 104 mU mL-1) along with improved reproducibility, selectivity, and stability for the assay of CA153. Owing to the high process controllability of AuPt-BG films, a large-area electrode for in-vitro analyses and a flexible microelectrode for in-vivo analyses were prepared, which confirmed that the AuPt-BG-based sensor is an ideal CA153 detection platform for clinical diagnosis and practical applications.

Abstract
In recent years, electrochemical biosensors (ECBSs) have shown significant potential for real-time disease diagnosis and in situ physical condition monitoring. As a multi-constituent oral fluid comprising various disease signaling biomarkers, saliva has drawn much attention in the field of point-of-care (POC) testing. In particular, during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, ECBSs which hold the simplicity of a single-step assay compared with the multi-step assay of traditional testing methods are expected to relieve the human and economic burden caused by the massive and long-term sample testing process. Noteworthily, ECBSs for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in saliva have already been developed and may replace current testing methods. Furthermore, the detection scope has expanded from routine indices such as sugar and uric acid to abnormal biomarkers for early-stage disease detection and drug level monitoring, which further facilitated the evolution of ECBSs in the last 5 years. This review is divided into several main sections. First, we discussed the latest advancements and representative research on ECBSs for saliva testing. Then, we focused on a novel kind of ECBS, organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs), which hold great advantages of high sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio and on-site detection. Finally, application of ECBSs with integrated portable platforms in oral cavities, which lead to powerful auxiliary testing means for telemedicine, has also been discussed.

Abstract
Recently, there has been increasing interest in electrochemical printed sensors for a wide range of applications such as biomedical, pharmaceutical, food safety, and environmental fields. A major challenge is to obtain selective, sensitive, and reliable sensing platforms that can meet the stringent performance requirements of these application areas. Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials advances have accelerated the performance of electrochemical sensors towards more practical approaches. This review discusses the recent development of electrochemical printed sensors, with emphasis on the integration of non-carbon 2D materials as sensing platforms. A brief introduction to printed electrochemical sensors and electrochemical technique analysis are presented in the first section of this review. Subsequently, sensor surface functionalization and modification techniques including drop-casting, electrodeposition, and printing of functional ink are discussed. In the next section, we review recent insights into novel fabrication methodologies, electrochemical techniques, and sensors' performances of the most used transition metal dichalcogenides materials (such as MoS2, MoSe2, and WS2), MXenes, and hexagonal boron-nitride (hBN). Finally, the challenges that are faced by electrochemical printed sensors are highlighted in the conclusion. This review is not only useful to provide insights for researchers that are currently working in the related area, but also instructive to the ones new to this field.

Sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor based on nitrogen-doped porous carbon and nanoporous trimetallic nanozyme (PdAgCu) for determination of prostate specific antigen.

Abstract
A sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor was designed for the ultrasensitive detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), using Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) modified nitrogen-doped porous carbon (NPC) as sensor platform and trimetallic PdAgCu mesoporous nanospheres (PdAgCu MNSs) as enzyme-mimicking labels. NPC was prepared by a facile one-step pyrolysis strategy of biomimetic phylloid zeolite imidazole framework (ZIF-L) nanosheets. Through this strategy, the graphitization of the microcrystalline structure enhanced the electrical conductivity, while its enlarged specific surface area and abundant pore volume can enrich H2O2 to improve the catalytic efficiency. Moreover, Au NPs were used to modify NPC without cross-linking agents to further optimize electron transport while capturing primary antibodies, improving stability and sensitivity of the immunosensor. PdAgCu MNSs with uniform size, cylindrical open mesoporous channels, and continuous crystal frame structure were self-assembling synthesized by electrostatic adsorption and ascorbic acid (AA) co-reduction with amphiphilic dioctadecyldimethylammonium chloride (DODAC) as surfactant-cum-micelle, whose unique structure maximizes the use of polyatoms to expose catalytic sites, exhibiting good biocompatibility and electrocatalytic ability. Under the optimal conditions, the immunosensor showed superior sensitivity, a wide dynamic detection range (10 fg mL-1 ~ 100 ng mL-1) and a low limit of detection (LOD, 3.29 fg mL-1). This work provides a convenient strategy for the clinical detection of PSA.

Abstract
One-step and efficient preparation of few-layer hydroxylated boron nitride nanosheets (OH-BNNSs) in electrochemical methods is still challenging. Here, we developed an electrolyte composed of a mixture of deep eutectic solvent (DES, choline chloride-urea) and water for electrochemical methods to enhance the exfoliation and oxidation processes, enabling the one-step preparation of OH-BNNSs. It was found that the obtained OH-BNNSs were an average lateral size of 625 nm and thickness of six layers. Furthermore, the OH-BNNSs and DES were added to the poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) substrate to prepare composite gel polymer electrolyte (PVA/DES/OH-BNNSs GPE) for solid-state flexible supercapacitor. The OH-BNNSs can effectively shorten the ionic transport distance and enhance ion conductivity. In addition, their excellent mechanical properties can significantly prevent the electrolyte structure from collapsing during reuse. In the meantime, DES was introduced to improve ionic conductivity and broaden the operating voltage window of supercapacitor. As a result, the symmetric solid-state flexible supercapacitor consisting of activated carbon electrodes and PVA/DES/OH-BNNSs GPE appeared a wide voltage window of 2.3 V, high specific capacitance of 151.22 F g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and remained 98% capacitance after 1500 charge-discharge cycles. This study not only opened a new pathway to efficient exfoliation of insulating layered materials but also found a novel gel polymer electrolyte for solid-state flexible supercapacitors.

Abstract
In this paper, we present a robust and versatile method for developing non-label aptasensors with high sensitivity. Amyloid-like protein aggregates were facilely synthesized with the commonly used passivating agent bovine serum albumin (BSA) in developing biosensors, and the produced amyloid-like phase-transited BSA (PTB) exhibited excellent antifouling performances and robust interfacial adhesion with the electrode surface. In order to improve the detection sensitivity of electrochemical measurements, reduced graphene oxide was electrochemically deposited onto the electrode surface. Moreover, gold nanoparticles were introduced to enhance the conductivity of the PTB film and facilitate subsequent aptamer modification. Two common biological species, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and cytochrome c (cyt c), were chosen as detection targets, and their corresponding aptasensors were successfully constructed and systematically evaluated. The proposed aptasensors based on the PTB-Au antifouling composite exhibited high sensitivity and specificity towards ATP and cyt c detection, and the detection limits were calculated to be 0.26 nM and 0.64 nM for ATP and cyt c, respectively. Hence, this work provides a simple approach to develop highly sensitive aptasensors without any labeling process, and thus promises its great application in biological analysis.

A label-free electrochemical immunosensor based on a gold-vertical graphene/TiO 2 nanotube electrode for CA125 detection in oxidation/reduction dual channels. Mikrochim Acta 2022; 189:257. [PMID: 35701556 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-022-05332-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
A label-free immunosensor was constructed in oxidation and reduction dual channel mode for the trace detection of cancer antigen 125 (CA125) in serum. The gold-vertical graphene/titanium dioxide (Au-VG/TiO2) electrode was used as the signal-amplification platform, and cytosine and dopamine were used as probes in the oxidation and reduction channels, respectively. VG nanosheets were synthesized on a TiO2 nanotube array via chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and Au nanoparticles were deeply embedded on the surface and in the root of the VG nanosheets via electrodeposition. The CA125 antibody was then directly immobilized onto the electrode surface, benefitting from its natural affinity for Au nanoparticles. In the oxidation and reduction channels the CA125 antibody-Au-VG/TiO2 immune electrode had the same response concentration range (0.01-1000 mU∙mL-1) for the determination of the CA125 antigen. However, the oxidation channel had a higher sensitivity (14.82 μA•(log(mU•mL-1))-1 at a working potential of ~ 1.25 V vs. SCE), lower detection limit (0.0001 mU∙mL-1), higher stability, and lower performance deviation than the reduction channel. This immunosensor was successfully used for CA125 detection in human serum. The recoveries of spiked serum samples ranged from 99.8 ± 0.5 to 100 ± 0.4%. The study on the difference in the sensing performance between oxidation and reduction channels provides a preliminary experimental reference for exploring dual-channel synchronous detection immunosensors and verifying the accuracy of the assay based on dual-channel data, which will promote the development of reliable electrochemical immunosensor technology.

Sensitive and specific clinically diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 employing a novel biosensor based on boron nitride quantum dots/flower-like gold nanostructures signal amplification. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 207:114209. [PMID: 35339072 PMCID: PMC8938305 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2022.114209] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2022] [Revised: 03/07/2022] [Accepted: 03/19/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
The sudden increase of the COVID-19 outbreak and its continued growth with mutations in various forms has created a global health crisis as well as devastating social and economic effects over the past two years. In this study, a screen-printed carbon electrode reinforced with boron nitride quantum dots/flower-like gold nanostructures (BNQDs/FGNs/SPCE) and functionalized by highly specific antisense DNA oligonucleotide presents an alternative and promising solution for targeting SARS-CoV-2 RNA without nucleic acid amplification. The platform was tested on 120 SARS-CoV-2 RNA isolated from real clinical samples (60 positive and 60 negative confirmed by conventional RT-PCR method). Based on obtained quantitative results and statistical analysis (box-diagram, cutoff value, receiver operating characteristic curve, and t-test), the biosensor revealed a significant difference between the two positive and negative groups with 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity. To evaluate the quantitation capacity and detection limit of the biosensor for clinical trials, the detection performance of the biosensor for continuously diluted RNA isolated from SARS-CoV-2-confirmed patients was compared to those obtained by RT-PCR, demonstrating that the detection limit of the biosensor is lower than or comparable to that of RT-PCR. The ssDNA/BNQDs/FGNs/SPCE showed negligible cross-reactivity with RNA fragments isolated from Influenza A (IAV) clinical samples and also remained stable for up to 14 days. In conclusion, the fabricated biosensor may serve as a promising tool for point-of-care applications.

A dual-signal output electrochemical immunosensor based on Au-MoS 2/MOF catalytic cycle amplification strategy for neuron-specific enolase ultrasensitive detection. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 195:113648. [PMID: 34555636 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2021.113648] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2021] [Revised: 09/13/2021] [Accepted: 09/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
In this work, a dual-signal output electrochemical immunosensor based on the Au-MoS2/MOF high-efficiency catalytic cycle amplification strategy for the sensitive detection of neuron-specific enolase (NSE). The mixed-valence structure MOF (Fe2+/Fe3+-MOF) exhibits high-speed charge mobility and excellent electrochemical performance. Notably, nanoflowers-like MoS2 (MoS2 NFs), as a co-catalyst, were introduced into Fe2+/Fe3+-MOF to successfully ensure the stable cycle of Fe2+/Fe3+ at the electrode interface. The constantly emerging of "fresh" active sites significantly amplified the current signal response. According to the electrochemical behavior, the catalytic cycle mechanism and electron transfer pathways between MoS2 and Fe2+/Fe3+-MOF were further discussed. The two output signals of a sample realized the self-calibration of the immunoassay results, which improved the reliability and sensitivity of the immunosensor. Under optimal conditions, the linear range was 1.00 pg/mL∼100 ng/mL, and the low detection limits were 0.37 pg/mL and 0.52 pg/mL. The results suggest that the as-proposed immunosensor will be promising in the biological analysis and early clinical diagnosis of cancer biomarkers.
