Abstract
Nanomaterials as tracing tags have been widely used in biosensors with high sensitivity and selectivity. In this work, a signal amplification electrochemical aptamer sensing strategy for the detection of protein was designed by combining the hybridization-inducing aggregate of DNA-functionalized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and differential pulse stripping voltammetry (DPSV) detection. The multiprobes containing hybridization DNA and aptamers were anchored onto the silver nanoparticles. The protein assay was prepared through the immobilization of capture aptamer that specifically recognizes platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB) on gold nanoparticles modified screen-printed electrode (SPE) array. After a sandwich-type reaction, two kinds of DNA-modified AgNPs were simultaneously added on the electrode surface for specifically recognizing PDGF-BB and forming the AgNPs aggregate caused by in situ hybridization of DNA. Compared to the signal-labeled tag, the tracing aggregate tags showed a strong electroactivity for signal amplification through stripping detection of silver after preoxidation. By using the hybridization-inducing aggregate as electrochemical readouts, the sensor showed wide linear range and low detection limit. The hybridization-inducing AgNPs aggregate were further used as tracing tags in multiplied proteins assays for PDGF-BB and thrombin by using the SPE array chip as sensing platform. The cross-talk between different aptamer-modified electrodes on the same array was avoided because of the advantage of labeled AgNPs. The array detection was also applied in the logic gate operation. The proposed method described here is ideal for multianalytes determination in clinical diagnostics with good analytical performance.Keywords
