    Abstract:
    A dual signal-amplified sandwich electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor was fabricated for trace detection of procalcitonin (PCT). CeO2-Au@Pt composed of sea urchin-like Au@Pt nanoparticles coated on CeO2 hollow nanospheres was immobilized on electrode surface to electrochemically catalyze H2O2 to produce a large number of superoxide anion (O2•-). The immunosensor was prepared by linking the capture antibody on immobilized CeO2-Au@Pt with heptapeptide (HWRGWVC), which could maintain the activity of the antibody. The prepared Au star@BSA was used to bind abundant luminol for labeling the secondary antibody (Ab2). Upon the sandwich-typed immunoreactions, the O2•- could react with the introduced luminol on the immunosensor surface to produce strong ECL intensity. With an outstanding linear detection range and a low detection limit of 17 fg/mL, the ECL immunosensor permitted ultrasensitive detection of PCT at a low H2O2 concentration and demonstrated its high application potential in the clinical assay.
