    Abstract:
    The N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a marker of heart failure. A novel sandwich type electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunoassay is described for the NT-proBNP. The method is based on ECL resonance energy transfer (RET) between silver nanocubes that were covered with semicarbazide-modified gold nanoparticles (AgNC-sem@AuNPs) as the donor, and a Ti(IV)-based metal-organic framework of type MIL-125 as the acceptor. The ECL signal was strongly amplified by increasing the luminous efficiency. ECL-RET occurs due to the partial overlap between the ECL emission of the AgNC-sem@AuNPs (emission wavelength at 470 nm to 900 nm) and the visible absorption spectrum of MIL-125 (absorption wavelength at 406 nm to 900 nm). This results in the quenching of ECL. The AgNC-sem@AuNPs were placed on the electrode. The antibody was immobilized on AgNC-sem@AuNPs via Au-NH2 bond, and MIL-125 was utilized as a label for the secondary antibody. The assay works in the 0.25 pg mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1 concentration range and has a 0.11 pg mL-1 lower detection limit (at S/N = 3). Graphical abstract Schematic representation of self-enhanced luminescence mechanism (semicarbazide (Sem) as co-reaction accelerator) and Electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET): silver nanocubes (AgNCs) as the energy donor and MIL-125 as the energy acceptor.
