An aptamer-based field-effect transistor (Apta-FET) is a well-developed assay method with high selectivity and sensitivity. Due to the limited information density that natural nucleotide library holds, the Apta-FET faces fundamental restriction in universality to detect various types of analytes. Herein, we demonstrate a type of Apta-FET sensors based on an artificial nucleotide aptamer (AN-Apta-FET). The introduction of an artificial nucleotide increases the diversity of the potential aptamer structure and expands the analyte category of the Apta-FET. The AN-Apta-FET specifically detects hepatoma exosomes, which traditional Apta-FET fails to discriminate from other tumor-derived exosomes, with a limit of detection down to 242 particles mL. The AN-Apta-FET distinguishes serum samples of hepatocellular carcinoma patients within 9 min from those of healthy people, showing the potential as a comprehensive assay tool in future disease diagnosis.
基于适配体的场效应晶体管(Apta-FET)是一种成熟的检测方法,具有高选择性和高灵敏度。由于天然核苷酸文库的信息密度有限,Apta-FET在检测各种类型分析物的通用性上面临根本限制。在此,我们展示了一种基于人工核苷酸适配体的Apta-FET传感器(AN-Apta-FET)。人工核苷酸的引入增加了潜在适配体结构的多样性,并扩大了Apta-FET的分析物类别。AN-Apta-FET能够特异性检测肝癌外泌体,而传统Apta-FET无法将其与其他肿瘤来源的外泌体区分开来,检测限低至242个颗粒/毫升。AN-Apta-FET能够在9分钟内区分肝细胞癌患者和健康人的血清样本,显示出其在未来疾病诊断中作为综合检测工具的潜力。
