    Abstract:
    A novel non-enzymatic immunoassay was designed for ultrasensitive electrochemical detection of carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) using β-cyclodextrin functionalized Cu@Ag (Cu@Ag-CD) core-shell nanoparticles as labels and β-cyclodextrin functionalized graphene nanosheet (CD-GN) as sensor platform. CD-GN has excellent conductivity which promoted the electric transmission between base solution and electrode surface and enhanced sensitivity of immunosensor. In addition, owing to supramolecular recognition of CD-GN for the guest molecule, quite a few synthesized adamantine-modified primary antibodies (ADA-Ab1) were immobilized on the CD-GN by supramolecular host-guest interaction between CD and ADA. Cu@Ag-CD as a signal tag could be captured by ADA-modified secondary antibody (ADA-Ab2) through a host-guest interaction, leading to a large loading of Cu@Ag nanoparticles with high electrical conductivity and catalytic activity. The fabricated immunosensor exhibits excellent analytical performance for the measurement of CEA with wide range linear (0.0001-20 ng/mL), low detection limit (20 fg/mL), good sensitivity, reproducibility and stability, which provide an enormous application prospect in clinical diagnostics.
