An fluorescent aptasensor for sensitive detection of tumor marker based on the FRET of a sandwich structured QDs-AFP-AuNPs
摘要： The detection of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is of great importance for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) diagnosis, but it needs to be further improved because of poor sensitivity and complicated operating steps. In this paper, a simple and sensitive homogeneous aptasensor for AFP has been developed based on F?rster resonance energy transfer (FRET) where the AFP aptamer labeled luminescent CdTe quantum dots (QDs) as a donor and anti-AFP antibody functional gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as an acceptor. In the presence of AFP, the bio-affinity between aptamer, target, and antibody made the QDs and AuNPs close enough, thus the fluorescence of CdTe QDs quenched though the FRET between QD and AuNP. The fluorescent aptasensor for AFP showed a concentration-dependent decrease of fluorescence intensity in the low nanomolar range and a detecting linear range of 0.5-45 ng mL?1, with a detection limit of 400 pg mL?1. Moreover, this homogeneous aptasensor is simple and reliable, and obtained satisfying results for the detection of AFP in human serum samples. With more and more aptamers for biomarkers have been selected gradually, this approach could be easily extended to detection of a wide range of biomarkers. The proposed aptasensor has great potential for carcinoma screening in point-of-care testing and even in field use.

Growth of Spherical Gold Satellites on the Surface of Au@Ag@SiO <sub/>2</sub> Core–Shell Nanostructures Used for an Ultrasensitive SERS Immunoassay of Alpha-Fetoprotein
摘要： The identification and detection of cancer biomarkers in early stages is an important issue for the therapy of cancer. However, most methods are time-consuming, limited sensing sensitivity and specificity. In this work, we prepared a novel plasmonic multilayered core–shell-satellite nanostructure (Au@Ag@SiO2-AuNP) consisting of an gold nanosphere with silver coating core (Au@Ag), an ultrathin continuous silica (SiO2) shell and high coverage of gold nanospheres (AuNPs) satellites. Au@Ag core is prominent surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform and the thin SiO2 layer exhibits a long-range plasmon coupling between Au@Ag core to AuNPs satellites further leading to enhanced Raman scattering. Meanwhile, the outer AuNPs satellites have a high biocompatibility and long-term stability. Combining the above advantages, the well-designed metallic nanoassemblies would be a promising candidate for SERS-based applications in biochemistry. For specific detection of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), we utilized the SERS-active core-shell-satellite nanostructures modified with AFP antibody as immune probes and nitrocellulose membrane (NC) stabilized captured anti-AFP antibodies as solid substrate. To improve the detection performance, we further systematically optimized the parameters, including silver coating thickness of Au@Ag core, the density and size of satellite AuNPs. Under the optimized conditions, AFP could be detected by the SERS-based sandwich immunoassay with an ultralow detection limit of 0.3 fg/mL, and the method exhibited a wide linear response from 1 fg/mL to 1 ng/mL. The limit of detection (LOD) was considerably lower than conventional methods in literature. This work relies on the unique Au@Ag@SiO2-AuNP nanostructures as immune probe develops a new outlook for the application of multilayered nanoassemblies and demonstrates the great potential in early tumor markers detection.

A novel ECL sensor based on a boronate affinity molecular imprinting technique and functionalized SiO2@CQDs/AuNPs/MPBA nanocomposites for sensitive determination of alpha-fetoprotein
摘要： 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.

Detection of Alpha-Fetoprotein in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patient Plasma with Graphene Field-Effect Transistor
摘要： The detection of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in plasma is important in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in humans. We developed a biosensor to detect AFP in HCC patient plasma and in a phosphate buffer saline (PBS) solution using a graphene field-effect transistor (G-FET). The G-FET was functionalized with 1-pyrenebutyric acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (PBASE) for immobilization of an anti-AFP antibody. AFP was detected by assessing the shift in the voltage of the Dirac point (?VDirac) after binding of AFP to the anti-AFP-immobilized G-FET channel surface. This anti-AFP-immobilized G-FET biosensor was able to detect AFP at a concentration of 0.1 ng mL?1 in PBS, and the detection sensitivity was 16.91 mV. In HCC patient plasma, the biosensor was able to detect AFP at a concentration of 12.9 ng mL?1, with a detection sensitivity of 5.68 mV. The sensitivity (?VDirac) depended on the concentration of AFP in either PBS or HCC patient plasma. These data suggest that G-FET biosensors could have practical applications in diagnostics.
