A dual immunosensor is reported for the simultaneous determination of two important immunity-related cytokines: BAFF (B cell activation factor) and APRIL (a proliferation-induced signal). Sandwich-type immunoassays with specific antibodies (cAbs) and a strategy for signal amplification based on labelling the detection antibodies (dAbs) with binary MoS/MWCNTs nanostructures and using horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were implemented. Amperometric detection was carried out at screen-printed dual carbon electrodes (SPdCEs) through the hydroquinone HQ/HO system. The developed dual immunosensor provided limit of detection (LOD) of 0.08 and 0.06 ng mL for BAFF and APRIL, respectively, and proved to be useful for the determination of both cytokines in cancer cell lysates and serum samples from patients diagnosed with autoimmune diseases and cancer. The obtained results agreed with those found using ELISA methodologies.
BAFF(B 细胞激活因子)和 APRIL(增殖诱导信号)。采用夹心型免疫分析,使用特异性抗体(cAb),并基于用二硫化钼/多壁碳纳米管纳米结构标记检测抗体(dAb)以及使用辣根过氧化物酶(HRP)的信号放大策略。通过氢醌 HQ/HO 体系在丝网印刷双碳电极(SPdCEs)上进行安培检测。所开发的双免疫传感器对 BAFF 和 APRIL 的检测限(LOD)分别为 0.08 和 0.06ng/mL,并且可用于测定癌症细胞裂解物和自身免疫性疾病及癌症患者血清样品中的这两种细胞因子。所得结果与使用 ELISA 方法学得到的结果一致。
