    Journal: Talanta; 2005 Jan 30; 65(2):565-73. PubMed ID: 18969836.
    Abstract:
    Voltammetric enzyme immunosensors based on the employment of streptavidin modified screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) for the detection of rabbit IgG, as a model analyte, were described. Alkaline phosphatase (AP) and 3-indoxyl phosphate (3-IP) were used as the enzymatic label and substrate, respectively. The adsorption of streptavidin was performed by deposition of a drop of a streptavidin solution overnight at 4 degrees C on the pre-oxidized surface of the SPCEs. The analytical characteristics of these sensors were evaluated using biotin conjugated to AP. The immunosensor devices were based on a specific reaction of rabbit IgG with its biotinylated antibodies, which were immobilised on the modified screen-printed carbon electrodes through the streptavidin:biotin reaction. The immunosensors were used for a direct determination of AP labelled rabbit IgG, and for free rabbit IgG detection using a sequential competitive immunoassay. A calibration curve in the range of 5 x 10(-11) to 1 x 10(-9)M of rabbit IgG was obtained with a estimated detection limit of 5 x 10(-11)M (7.0ng/ml). These immunosensors were stable for 5 months if they were stored at 4 degrees C.
