  • Title: Nanogold-actuated biomimetic peroxidase for sensitized electrochemical immunoassay of carcinoembryonic antigen in human serum.

    Journal: Anal Chim Acta; 2010 Sep 30; 678(2):169-75. PubMed ID: 20888448.
    Abstract:
    A new electrochemical immunoassay protocol for the determination of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in human serum was developed by means of immobilizing horseradish peroxidase-labeled anti-CEA antibodies (HRP-anti-CEA) on the nanogold/nano-Fe(3)O(4) particles-functionalized polyion complex (PIC) membrane. With a one-step immunoassay format, the formed immunocomplex inhibited partly the bioactive center of the immobilized HRP, and decreased the HRP toward the reduction of H(2)O(2). Nanogold-actuated nano-Fe(3)O(4) mimetic peroxidase was used for the sensitivity improvement of the electrochemical immunosensor with Prussian blue (PB) as mediators. Under optimal conditions, the electrochemical immunosensor displayed a wide dynamic range of 0.1-220 ng mL(-1) with a relative low detection limit (LOD) of 10 pg mL(-1) CEA (at 3σ). Intra- and inter-assay show good precisions with a coefficient of variation (CV) lower than 7.8% and 7.3%, respectively. No significant difference at the 95% confidence level was encountered in the analysis of 17 human serum specimens between the electrochemical immunosensor and automatic electrochemiluminescent (ECL) analyzer for the determination of CEA.
