Abstract
Development of simple solid-phase electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor with convenient fabrication for high-performance detection of tumor biomarkers is crucial. Herein, a solid-phase ECL immunoassay was constructed based on a bipolar silica nanochannel film (bp-SNA) modified electrode for highly sensitive detection of carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA 125). Inexpensive and readily available indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode was used as the supporting electrode for the growth of bp-SNA. bp-SNA consists of a bilayer SNA film with different functional groups and charge properties, including negatively charged inner layer SNA (n-SNA) and positively charged outer layer SNA (p-SNA). The nanochannels of bp-SNA were used for the immobilization of ECL emitter tris(bipyridine)ruthenium(II), while the outer surface was utilized for constructing the immunorecognition interface. Due to the dual electrostatic interaction composed of electrostatic attraction from n-SNA and electrostatic repulsion from p-SNA, ECL emitter could be stably confined within bp-SNA, providing stable and high ECL signals to the modified electrode. After amino groups on the outer surface of bp-SNA were derivatized with aldehyde groups, recognition antibodies could be covalently immobilized, and an immunosensor was obtained after blocking nonspecific sites. When CA 125 binds to the antibodies on the recognition interface, the formed complex reduces the diffusion of the co-reactant tripropylamine (TPrA) to the supporting electrode, decreasing the ECL signal. Based on this mechanism, the constructed immunosensor can achieve sensitive ECL detection of CA 125. The linear detection range is from 0.01 to 100 U/mL, with a detection limit of 4.7 mU/mL. CA 125 detection in serum is also achieved. The construction immunosensor has advantages including simple and convenient fabrication, high stability of the immobilized emitter, and high selectivity, making it suitable for CA 125 detection.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Chemistry is a high visiblity and quality journal, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the chemical sciences. Field Chief Editor Steve Suib at the University of Connecticut is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to academics, industry leaders and the public worldwide.
Chemistry is a branch of science that is linked to all other main fields of research. The omnipresence of Chemistry is apparent in our everyday lives from the electronic devices that we all use to communicate, to foods we eat, to our health and well-being, to the different forms of energy that we use. While there are many subtopics and specialties of Chemistry, the fundamental link in all these areas is how atoms, ions, and molecules come together and come apart in what some have come to call the “dance of life”.
All specialty sections of Frontiers in Chemistry are open-access with the goal of publishing outstanding research publications, review articles, commentaries, and ideas about various aspects of Chemistry. The past forms of publication often have specific subdisciplines, most commonly of analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistries, but these days those lines and boxes are quite blurry and the silos of those disciplines appear to be eroding. Chemistry is important to both fundamental and applied areas of research and manufacturing, and indeed the outlines of academic versus industrial research are also often artificial. Collaborative research across all specialty areas of Chemistry is highly encouraged and supported as we move forward. These are exciting times and the field of Chemistry is an important and significant contributor to our collective knowledge.
