Abstract
Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein secreted by placental trophoblast cells in pregnancy. HCG is a heterodimer composed of two different α- and β-subunits, with the latter being unique to HCG. As well as being the most important diagnostic markers for pregnancy, HCG is also a tumor marker, therefore, quantitative detection of HCG is of great value. Numerous advanced technologies have been developed for HCG concentration detection including electrochemical immunoassay, chemiluminescent immunoassay, fluorescence immunoassay, resonance scattering spectrometry, atomic emission spectrometry, radioimmunoassay, MS and so on. Some have pursued simple and easy operation, while others have emphasized on accuracy and applications in clinical medicine. This review provides a comprehensive summary of various methods of detecting HCG.

SERS quantitative detection of trace human chorionic gonadotropin using a label-free Victoria blue B as probe in the aggregated immunonanogold sol substrate. LUMINESCENCE 2014; 30:790-7. [PMID: 25428635 DOI: 10.1002/bio.2821] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2014] [Revised: 09/09/2014] [Accepted: 10/22/2014] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
Nanogold particles (NG) were modified by anti-rabbit antibody (RAb) against human chorionic gonadotropin to obtain an immunonanogold probe (ING). In pH 7.0 Na2HPO4-citrate buffer solution containing KCl, ING probes formed large aggregates in which Victoria blue B (VBB) molecules were adsorbed on the surface and which exhibited strong surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) at a peak of 1612 cm(-1). After addition of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) an immune reaction with the ING probe occurred to form dispersive ING-hCG complexes with non-SERS activity that led to a decreased SERS peak at 1612 cm(-1). The decreased SERS intensity was linear to the concentration of hCG over 2.4-73.2 ng/mL. The ING reaction was studied in detail by SERS, scanning electron microscope (SEM), resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS), surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption and laser scattering techniques. SERS quenching was observed and discussed.
