Reducing background signal is an effective method to improve the sensitivity of amperometric immunosensors, which are significant in the detection of cancer. Herein, a novel immunosensor probe was synthesised using zeolitic imidazolate framework-hydroquinone-bovine serum albumin (ZIF-8-HQ-BSA). Based on the probe, an "off-on" strategy was applied in the immunosensor to amplify ΔI, the current signal "turn off and on". The ZIF-8-HQ-BSA probe initially showed little current signal since ZIF-8 and BSA exhibit poor conductivity. To amplify the current signal "turn on", the structure of ZIF-8 was broken after treatment with HCl, releasing hydroquinone to be absorbed by the polyaniline hydrogel substrate. Hydroquinone can produce a strong signal and also exhibits strong catalytic ability for HO to further enhance the signal. Following this method, the immunosensing platform was used to detect cytokeratins antigen 21-1 (CYFRA21-1) in human serum and revealed a wide liner range from 0.1 pg mL to 100 ng mL with a low detection limit of 0.65 pg mL (S/N = 3), demonstrating good consistency with an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. Thus, the amperometric immunosensing platform discussed in this work has high potential for application in healthcare monitoring, clinical diagnostics, and biomedical devices.
降低背景信号是提高电流型免疫传感器灵敏度的有效方法,这对于癌症检测具有重要意义。本文合成了沸石咪唑酯骨架-对苯二酚-牛血清白蛋白(ZIF-8-HQ-BSA)新型免疫传感器探针。基于该探针,我们在免疫传感器中应用了“关-开”策略来放大 ΔI,即电流信号的“关-开”。由于 ZIF-8 和 BSA 的导电性差,ZIF-8-HQ-BSA 探针最初显示出很小的电流信号。为了放大电流信号“开”,用 HCl 处理后 ZIF-8 的结构被破坏,释放出对苯二酚被聚苯胺水凝胶基底吸收。对苯二酚可以产生很强的信号,并且对 HO 也具有很强的催化能力,进一步增强了信号。采用这种方法,该免疫传感平台用于检测人血清中的细胞角蛋白抗原 21-1(CYFRA21-1),并显示出从 0.1 pg mL 到 100 ng mL 的宽线性范围,检测限低至 0.65 pg mL(S/N=3),与电化学发光免疫分析具有良好的一致性。因此,本文讨论的电流型免疫传感平台在医疗保健监测、临床诊断和生物医学设备方面具有很高的应用潜力。
