A novel ECL sensor based on a boronate affinity molecular imprinting technique and functionalized SiO 2 @CQDs/AuNPs/MPBA nanocomposites for sensitive determination of alpha-fetoprotein.
Biosensors & Bioelectronics 2018 November 21
In this work, a boronate-affinity sandwich electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor was constructed to detect alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) based on a multiple signal amplification strategy. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were utilized and modified on the surface with chitosan in order to facilitate electron transfer. The composite of the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) enhanced the selectivity of alpha-fetoprotein detection. 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (MPBA) was used as the tracing tag for capture of alpha-fetoprotein. SiO2 nanoparticles carried carbon quantum dots (CQDs) labeled with gold nanoparticles and produced an ECL signal. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the linear range for alpha-fetoprotein was between 0.001 and 1000 ng/mL with a correlation coefficient of 0.9952, and the detection limit was 0.0004 ng/mL (S/N = 3). This proposed ECL sensor displayed several advantages, including outstanding selectivity, fine reproducibility, high sensitivity, low detection limit and wide linear range. Furthermore, the newly constructed boronate-affinity sandwich ECL sensor was successfully applied to the determination of alpha-fetoprotein in serum samples, indicating great potential for application in clinical diagnostics.
