    Abstract:
    Nanowires of copper(II)-based metal-organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs) of type Cu(II)(1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid) (1,4-NDC) were deposited on the surface of a copper foam by immersion of Cu(OH)2 nanowires in a solution of 1,4-NDC. An electrochemical immunosensor for the prostate specific antigen (PSA) is obtained by using the nanowire arrays as a redox signal probe. The signal is generated by the conversion of Cu(I) and Cu(II) of Cu-MOFs nanowires. Cu(1,4-NDC) nanowires contain many uncoordinated carboxyl groups which can bind to the amino groups of the PSA antibody. When PSA antibody binds to PSA antigen during an immune response, the current signal will decrease due to the electrical insulation of PSA antigen. The decrease of current is directly proportional to the increase of PSA concentration. The immunosensor, best operated at a voltage of typically -0.08 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), has a low limit of detection (4.4 fg·mL-1) and a wide linear range (0.1 pg·mL-1 to 20 ng·mL-1). This meets the demands of clinical diagnosis (with values <4 ng·mL-1) in serum. The method was applied to the determination of PSA in spiked serum. Graphical abstractSchematic representation of the in-situ growth of ordered Cu-MOFs wrapped with Cu(OH)2 nanowires, building the core-shell structure as the 3D electrode. A novel electrochemical immunosensor for PSA detection has been exploited, using the Cu-MOFs nanowire arrays on Cu foam as a redox signal probe for the first time.
