Simultaneous detection of multiple biomarkers is essential for effective cancer screening. Taking ovarian cancer as an example, the combined detection of CA125 and HE4 has proven to be the most efficient and accurate among multiple biomarker combinations. In this study, we proposed a dual immunosensor based on weak value amplification (WVA) to detect ovarian cancer. By modifying the sensor surface through a self-assembled monolayer technique and utilizing recombinant protein G for antibody enrichment and directional capture, the sensor enables high-precision, simultaneous detection of CA125 and HE4, with detection limits of 5.39 U/mL and 1.79 ng/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the sensor demonstrates excellent specificity, effectively distinguishing target analytes from non-target molecules. This study provides a novel approach for early cancer screening and clinical diagnosis, highlighting the potential of WVA-based immunosensors in ovarian cancer detection.

The European Union (EU) has detected matrine (MAT) in honey and tea exported from China, which is neurotoxic, hepatotoxic, developmentally toxic, and reproductively toxic. To develop a rapid method for the detection of MAT in honey and tea, we designed and analyzed hapten in terms of structure-function similarity, surface electrostatic potential, 3D conformation, and Mulliken atomic charges, prepared a monoclonal antibody (mAb) with high sensitivity (IC 50 = 0.59 μg/L) and specificity to recognize MAT, and developed an immunosensor based on gold nanoparticles (GNP-based immunosensor) for the rapid qualitative detection of MAT in honey and tea samples with visual limit of detection (vLOD) of 2 and 5 μg/kg, respectively. The accuracy of the GNP-based immunosensor was verified by spiking recovery experiments. The GNP-based immunosensor is instrument-free and can be completed within 8 min with the advantages of convenience, rapidity and high sensitivity, which provides a tool for MAT monitoring of honey and tea in China.

A substantial outstanding challenge in diagnostics and disease monitoring is the ability to assay rapidly and conveniently for protein biomarkers within complex biological media. Bi 2 Se 3 , as an important topological insulator (TI) material, was synthesized by a solvothermal method and characterized structurally. Subsequently, the composite of Bi 2 Se 3 and ionic liquid ([BMIm]BF 4 IL) was used as a sensing interface to cross-link goat anti-human immunoglobulin G (anti-IgG) via glutaraldehyde (GA) to fabricate an Bi 2 Se 3 /IL/GA/anti-IgG-carbon paste electrode (CPE). The nonspecific binding sites were enclosed with bovine serum albumin (BSA) to develop a label-free IgG immunosensor. The result showed that the proposed label-free IgG immunosensor exhibited high specificity with a detection limit of 0.8 ng mL −1 and linear range from 2 to 300, and 300 to 2200 ng mL −1 . Besides, the immunosensor exhibited high specificity for IgG detection, acceptable reproducibility, and stability. Thus, the strategy reported here paved a simple way to design a sensitive and cost-effective sensing platform for extension to other disease biomarkers.

In this work, a highly selective and sensitive cortisol immunosensor based on MXene and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MXene-MWCNTs) hybrid composite was proposed. The immunosensor was developed by screen printing technique on a flexible polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) substrate followed by modification of MXene-MWCNTs and anti-cortisol antibodies with EDC/NHS coupling agent. Owing to the large surface area and excellent conductivity of MXene-MWCNTs, the immunosensor exhibited a low detection limit and a wide linear range toward cortisol from 0.1 fg/mL to 1 µg/mL, which covered the normal range of free cortisol in sweat. Additionally, the immunosensor was applied to evaluate the cortisol level in human sweat samples, and the results were validated by a commercial chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) assay. The present platform provides an effective method for non-invasive monitoring of human sweat cortisol levels, which may be well-suited for hormone screenings in healthy monitoring and medical diagnosis.

CA125 (carbohydrate antigen 125) is an important biomarker of ovarian cancer, so developing effective method for its detection is of great significance. In the present work, a novel sandwich-like electrochemical immunosensor (STEM) of CA125 was constructed by preparing nanoribbon-like Ti 3 C 2 T x MXenes (Ti 3 C 2 T x NR) to immobilize primary antibody (PAb) of CA125 and UIO-66-NH 2 MOFs structure to immobilize second antibody (SAb) and electroactive toluidine blue (Tb) probe. In this designed STEM assay, the as-prepared Ti 3 C 2 T x NR nanohybrid offers the advantages in large surface area and conductivity as carrier, and UIO-66-NH 2 provided an ideal platform to accommodate SAb and a large number of Tb molecules as signal amplifier. In the presence of CA125, the peak currents of Tb from the formed STEM structure increase with the increase of CA125 level. After optimizing the related control conditions, a wide linear range (0.2–150.0 U mL −1 ) and a very low detection limit (0.05 U mL −1 ) of CA125 were achieved. It’s thus expected the developed STEM strategy has important applications for the detection of CA125. Graphical abstract

Deoxynivalenol (DON) has drawn considerable attention for its obvious pathogenicity and wide use in agro-products, which cause a potential threat to human health. In this work, an electrochemical immunosensor is developed for the highly sensitive and selective detection of DON in wheat flour using AuNPs-BP-MWCNTs-COOH and antibodies. The AuNPs-BP-MWCNTs-COOH nanocomposite was prepared via an in situ reduction reaction and ultrasonic-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation. The nanocomposite exhibits a larger surface area, decent stability, excellent electron transfer capability, good protein binding capability and prominent specificity. The plentiful carboxyl group on the nanocomposite can bind to the amino group of the antibody, and AuNPs have an affinity for the sulfhydryl group of the antibody, which makes it feasible for the nanocomposite to load the antibody. The peak currents are plotted against the logarithm of DON concentration from 0.002 to 80 ng mL−1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.5 pg mL−1. This approach establishes an effective label-free immunosensor platform for the detection of DON with high sensitivity and selectivity in various food and agricultural products.

An enzyme immunoassay was developed based on the coulometric measurement of immunoglobulin M (IgM) against Hantaan viruses (HTNV) by using virus-like particles (VLPs) as recognition molecules. The surface functionalization of screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) was achieved through paste-exfoliated graphene that was modified with a COOH group and a thionine mediator through supramolecular-covalent scaffolds, on SPCEs by using the binder contained in the ink. After the covalent immobilization of the antibody, the sensor was used for the sandwich enzyme immunoassay of IgM against HTNV. By using HTNV VLPs as the second recognization molecules, the resulting sensor efficiently monitored the reaction of IgM against HTNV and anti-IgM antibody with high specificity. By attaching HTNV nucleocapsid protein antibody conjugate with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) onto VLPs, the signal response of the assay was derived from the coulometric measurement of H 2 O 2 reduction mediated by thionine on the electrode surface after the application of a potential (− 0.2 V vs. Ag/AgCl). The ratio of charges measured before or after H 2 O 2 addition was used to quantify IgM because these charges could be used as background charges or total charges, respectively. The ratio exhibited good agreement with IgM concentration within a range 0.1 to 1000 pg mL −1 , and a detection limit of 0.06 pg mL −1 was obtained. The assay demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity toward HTNV-specific IgM in serum. Graphical abstract

In this paper, a label-free electrochemical immunosensor for sensitive detection of prostate antigen (PSA) was developed based on a NiFe PBA/AuNPs composite. The prostate antigen antibody was immobilized and the immunosensor was constructed by using a glassy carbon electrode modified with a nanocomposite consisting of nickel–iron Prussian blue analog (NiFe PBA) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Due to the good biological affinity of AuNPs for biomolecules, as well as the porous nanostructure and regular shape of NiFe PBA, NiFe PBA/AuNPs nanocomposites significantly improve the electron transport rate, while achieving excellent performance for the sensor. Due to the interaction between the antibody and the antigen on the modified electrode, the current signal of the NiFe PBA itself is reduced due to the redox changes in Fe2+ and Fe3+, which can be determined by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Therefore, the monitoring of prostate antigen detection is realized. Under optimal experimental conditions, the immunosensor exhibited excellent detection performance with a dynamic response range from 0.5 pg mL−1 to 1000 pg mL−1 for the PSA concentration and a detection limit of 0.23 pg mL−1 (S/N = 3). In addition, the PSA aptasensor has good selectivity, high stability, and satisfactory reproducibility and has broad potential in clinical research and diagnostic applications.

Conventional electrochemical immunosensors use electroactive materials often suffer from leakage of electroactive materials and signal instability. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an electrochemical immunosensor based on MOF-235 adsorption aggregation signal amplification strategy for the sensitive detection of PSA. Methylene blue (MB) is a cationic dye with redox properties. It has electrochemical reversibility, high electron transfer rate and good biocompatibility. Therefore, it is often used as an electroactive substance in electrochemical immunosensors. However, the non-specificity and poor stability of MB will inevitably distort the diagnostic results and limit its application. In this experiment, MOF-235, a fluffy metal porous MOF material with two carboxyl groups has been prepared and it has a large specific surface area and good biocompatibility. Meanwhile, it can generate electrostatic attraction with the amino groups on MB, and firmly fix methylene blue on the MOF material, which can effectively prevent the signal leaks of MB during the test, and after being adsorbed, the reunion of MB can be controlled, which is conducive to electron transmission thus amplifying the electrical signal. The produced electrochemical immunosensor has good stability and repeatability, and the concentration of the analyte is directly linear with the magnitude of the electrical signal. Under optimum conditions, the proposed immunosensor shows a wide detection range from 10 pg·mL −1 to 1200 pg·mL −1 with a low detection limit of 3 pg·mL −1 .

Immunoassays play an important role in the monitoring and detection of mycotoxins in food. However, mycotoxin conjugates in the immunoassay system synthesized with toxic mycotoxin as raw material has seriously harmed the environment and human health during and after the performance. In this work, using mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) as a model happen, a selected DON mimotope (phage-displayed peptide) that specifically binds to anti-DON antibody was served as a mimetic competing antigen in electrochemical immunosensor for ultrasensitive and green detection of DON. Under the optimized conditions, the mimotope peptide-based electrochemical immunosensor showed a dynamic range of 0.1–10,000 pg/ml and the limit detection (LOD) of 0.07 pg/ml. In addition, the accuracy and reproducibility of the established electrochemical immunosensor were evaluated by testing cross-reactivity and spiking DON negative samples. The result showed that mimotope peptide-based immunosensor has negligible cross-reactivity with other mycotoxins, and the average recovery of corn and wheat sample was 90.4%–118% and 101.3%–111%, respectively. Furthermore, the novel concept might provide potential applications to a general method for the immunosensor of various toxic small molecules.

3, 3′, 5, 5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) has been widely used as a chromogenic substrate for colorimetric immunoassays . Normally, the colorless TMB is oxidized into yellow TMB 2+ (in acidic solution) to indicate the presence of the target molecules. However, this kind of monochromic intensity changes seriously confine the accuracy of visual inspection. Herein, we demonstrate for the first time that TMB 2+ can quantitatively and efficiently etch gold nanorods (AuNRs). The addition of AuNRs into a solution containing different amount of TMB 2+ generates vivid color responses as colorful as a rainbow, and the etching process can be finished within 90 s. As a result, the exact concentration of TMB 2+ can be easily distinguished with the naked eyes by the corresponding solution color. Based on this finding, we incorporate AuNRs into the well-developed, commercially available horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-TMB immunoassay system, so that it can be utilized for semiquantitative detection of a broad range of disease biomarkers with the naked eyes (termed ‘NEQ-IA’). Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and Prostate specific antigen (PSA) had been chosen as example targets to test the feasibility of the proposed biosensor. The results showed good accordance with the conventional methods. Because no sophisticated apparatus but human eyes are used as the readout, the proposed NEQ-IA could be a good supplementary to current state-of-the-art immunoassay methods for those applications that require the use of portable and affordable devices, for example, for the detection of disease biomarkers at home and in the field.

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a major concern for public health and the rapid detection of trace OTA in food is always a challenge. To minimize OTA exposure to consumers, a nanobody (Nb)-mediated förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based immunosensor using quantum dots (Nb-FRET immunosensor) was proposed for ultrasensitive, single-step and competitive detection of OTA in agro-products at present work. QDs of two sizes were covalently labeled with OTA and Nb, acting as the energy donor and acceptor, respectively. The free OTA competed with the donor to bind to acceptor, thus the FRET efficiency increased with the decrease of OTA concentration. The single-step assay could be finished in 5 min with a limit of detection of 5 pg/mL, which was attributed to the small size of Nb for shortening the effective FRET distance and improving the FRET efficiency. The Nb-FRET immunosensor exhibited high selectivity for OTA. Moreover, acceptable accuracy and precision were obtained in the analysis of cereals and confirmed by the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Thus the developed Nb-FRET immunosensor was demonstrated to be an efficient tool for ultrasensitive and rapid detection of OTA in cereals and provides a detection model for other toxic small molecules in food and environment.
