  • Title: Multiplexed electrochemical immunoassay using streptavidin/nanogold/carbon nanohorn as a signal tag to induce silver deposition.
    Author: Zhao C, Wu J, Ju H, Yan F.
    Journal: Anal Chim Acta; 2014 Oct 17; 847():37-43. PubMed ID: 25261898.
    Abstract:
    An ultrasensitive multiplexed immunoassay method was developed by using streptavidin/nanogold/carbon nanohorn (SA/Au/CNH) as a novel signal tag to induce silver enhancement for signal amplification. The Au/CNH was prepared by in situ growth of nanogold on carboxylated CNH and functionalized with streptavidin. The SA/Au/CNH showed well dispersibility in physiological buffer and could sever as a common tracing tag to recognize biotinylated signal antibody. The immunosensor array was prepared on disposable screen-printed electrodes. Through sandwich-type immunoreaction and biotin-streptavidin affinity reaction, the SA/Au/CNH tag was captured on the immunoconjugates to induce silver deposition and amplify the electrochemical stripping signals. Using α-fetoprotein and carcinoembryonic antigen as model analytes, the proposed method showed wide linear ranges with the detection limits down to 0.024 pg mL(-1) and 0.032 pg mL(-1), respectively, and eliminated completely signal cross-talk between adjacent immunosensors. It provided a convenient, high-efficient and ultrasensitive electrochemical detection route for biological analytes, showing great potential in clinical application.
