We developed a novel Ru(bpy)-based electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor utilizing palladium nanoparticle (Pd NP)-functionalized graphene-aerogel-supported FeO (FGA-Pd) for real-sample analysis of prostate specific antigen (PSA). 3D nanostructured FGA-Pd, as a novel ECL carrier, was prepared by in situ reduction. Large amounts of Ru(bpy) could combine with FGA-Pd via electrostatic interaction to establish a brand-new ECL emitter (Ru@FGA-Pd) for improving ECL efficiency. The obtained Ru@FGA-Pd composite was utilized to label the secondary antibody, which generated strong ECL signals with tripropylamine (TPrA) as a coreactant. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the participation of Pd NPs endowed FGA with favorable electrocatalytic ability in the luminescence process to produce more excited state [Ru(bpy)]* for realizing desirable signal amplification. In addition, the primary antibody was captured by gold nanoparticle (Au NP)-functionalized FeO nanodendrites (Au-FONDs), which possessed good electrical conductivity and favorable biocompatibility. Under optimum conditions, the fabricated sandwich-type ECL immunosensor showed a sensitive response to PSA with a low detection limit of 0.056 pg/mL (S/N = 3) and a calibration range of 0.0001-50 ng/mL. Featuring favorable selectivity, stability, and repeatability, the proposed immunosensor is expected to blaze a novel trail for the real sample detection of PSA and other biomarkers.
我们开发了一种新型基于 Ru(bpy) 的电化学发光(ECL)免疫传感器,利用钯纳米粒子(Pd NP)功能化石墨烯气凝胶负载的 FeO(FGA-Pd)用于前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)的实际样品分析。3D 纳米结构的 FGA-Pd 作为一种新型的 ECL 载体,通过原位还原制备。大量的 Ru(bpy) 可以通过静电相互作用与 FGA-Pd 结合,建立一个全新的 ECL 发射器(Ru@FGA-Pd),以提高 ECL 效率。所得的 Ru@FGA-Pd 复合材料被用于标记二抗,其与三丙胺(TPrA)作为共反应物产生强烈的 ECL 信号。此外,我们证明了 Pd NPs 的参与使 FGA 在发光过程中具有良好的电催化能力,产生更多的激发态[Ru(bpy)]*,以实现理想的信号放大。此外,金纳米粒子(Au NP)功能化的 FeO 纳米枝晶(Au-FONDs)捕获了一抗,Au-FONDs 具有良好的导电性和良好的生物相容性。在最佳条件下,所构建的三明治型 ECL 免疫传感器对 PSA 表现出灵敏的响应,检测限低至 0.056 pg/mL(S/N = 3),校准范围为 0.0001-50 ng/mL。该免疫传感器具有良好的选择性、稳定性和可重复性,有望为 PSA 和其他生物标志物的实际样品检测开辟新途径。
