Nanogap antennas with strong electromagnetic fields of the "hot spot" in the gap region of two adjacent particles that can significantly improve the optical properties of fluorophores hold great potential for ultrasensitive bioanalysis. Herein, a DNA computation-mediated self-assembly of Au NBP dimer-based plasmonic nanogap antennas was designed for imaging of intracellular correlated dual disease biomarkers. It is worth noting that with the benefit from the electromagnetic fields of the "hot spot" in the gap region and strand displacement amplification, the fluorescence intensity can be enhanced ∼14.7-fold by Au NBP dimer-based plasmonic nanogap antennas. In addition, the AND-gate sensing mechanism was confirmed through monitoring the response of three designed nAP-PH1, m-PH1, and PH1 probes, the fluorescence recovery in different cell lines (Hela and L02), and inhibitor-treated cells, respectively. Furthermore, thanks to the "dual keys" activation design, such an "AND-gate" sensing manner can be used for ultrasensitive correlated multiplexed molecular imaging, demonstrating its feasible prospect in correlated multiplexed molecular imaging.
具有相邻两个粒子间隙区域中“热点”强电磁场的纳米间隙天线可以显著提高荧光团的光学性质,在超灵敏生物分析中具有很大的潜力。本文设计了一种基于 DNA 计算介导的 Au NBP 二聚体等离子体纳米间隙天线的自组装,用于细胞内相关双重疾病生物标志物的成像。值得注意的是,得益于间隙区域“热点”中的电磁场和链置换扩增,基于 Au NBP 二聚体的等离子体纳米间隙天线可以将荧光强度增强约 14.7 倍。此外,通过监测三个设计的 nAP-PH1、m-PH1 和 PH1 探针、不同细胞系(Hela 和 L02)以及抑制剂处理细胞的响应,证实了与门传感机制。此外,由于采用了“双钥匙”激活设计,这种“与门”传感方式可用于超灵敏相关的多重分子成像,表明其在相关多重分子成像中具有可行的前景。
