Abstract

An ultrasensitive photoelectrochemical sandwich immunoassay was developed to detect matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2, antigen, Ag) based on CdS:Mn/CdTe cosensitized TiO2 nanotubes (TiO2-NTs) and signal amplification of SiO2@Ab2 conjugates. Specifically, the TiO2-NTs electrode was first deposited with CdS:Mn by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction technique and then further coated with CdTe quantum dots (QDs) via the layer-by-layer method, forming TiO2-NTs/CdS:Mn/CdTe cosensitized structure, which was employed as a matrix to immobilize capture MMP-2 antibodies (Ab1); whereas, SiO2 nanoparticles were coated with signal MMP-2 antibodies (Ab2) to form SiO2@Ab2 conjugates, which were used as signal amplification elements via the specific antibody-antigen immunoreaction between Ag and Ab2. The ultrahigh sensitivity of this immunoassay derived from the two major reasons as below. First, the TiO2-NTs/CdS:Mn/CdTe cosensitized structure could adequately absorb the light energy, dramatically promote electron transfer, and effectively inhibit the electron-hole recombination, resulting in significantly enhanced photocurrent intensity of the sensing electrode. However, in the presence of target Ag, the immobilized SiO2@Ab2 conjugates could evidently increase the steric hindrance of the sensing electrode and effectively depress the electron transfer, leading to obviously decreased photocurrent intensity. Accordingly, the well-designed photoelectrochemical immunoassay exhibited a low detection limit of 3.6 fg/mL and a wide linear range from 10 fg/mL to 500 pg/mL for target Ag detection. Meanwhile, it also presented good reproducibility, specificity, and stability and might open a new promising platform for the detection of other important biomarkers.

摘要

一种基于 CdS:Mn/CdTe 共敏化 TiO2 纳米管(TiO2-NTs)和 SiO2@Ab2 结合物信号放大的超灵敏光电化学三明治免疫分析方法被开发用于检测基质金属蛋白酶-2(MMP-2,抗原,Ag)。具体而言,首先通过连续离子层吸附和反应技术在 TiO2-NTs 电极上沉积 CdS:Mn,然后通过层层法进一步涂覆 CdTe 量子点(QDs),形成 TiO2-NTs/CdS:Mn/CdTe 共敏化结构,将其用作固定捕获 MMP-2 抗体(Ab1)的基质;而 SiO2 纳米粒子则涂覆有信号 MMP-2 抗体(Ab2),以形成 SiO2@Ab2 结合物,通过 Ag 与 Ab2 之间的特异性抗体-抗原免疫反应,将其用作信号放大元件。该免疫分析的超高灵敏度源于以下两个主要原因。首先,TiO2-NTs/CdS:Mn/CdTe 共敏化结构可以充分吸收光能,显著促进电子转移,并有效抑制电子-空穴复合,从而显著增强传感电极的光电流强度。然而,在存在靶 Ag 的情况下,固定化的 SiO2@Ab2 结合物可以明显增加传感电极的空间位阻,并有效抑制电子转移,导致光电流强度明显降低。因此,所设计的光电化学免疫分析表现出 3.6 fg/mL 的低检测限和 10 fg/mL 至 500 pg/mL 的宽线性范围,用于检测靶 Ag。同时,它还表现出良好的重现性、特异性和稳定性,并且可能为其他重要生物标志物的检测开辟新的有前途的平台。
