摘要
Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) is an important biomarker in the diagnosis of liver cancer, thus designing simple and effective method to detect AFP great significance. In this work, N-doped hollow nanocarbon spheres decorated with gold nanoparticles (NHNS/Au) hybrids were produced and adopted as the material for modifying electrode to assemble a simple and sensitive label-free electrochemical immunosensor of AFP. Scanning-/transmission-electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray technology and electrochemical methods were introduced to characterize the NHNS/Au nanohybrids; and AFP antibody was assembled on the modified electrode surface based on "Au-S" bond between Au and antibody. By introducing [Fe(CN)(6)](4-/3-) as the signal probe, its electrochemical signal can be suppressed when AFP was bonded by AFP antibody, thus a simple and effective immunosensor of AFP was constructed. After optimizing the related testing conditions, a wide linearity from 0.0 to 15.0 ng mL(-1) and a low analytic limitation of 0.06 pg mL(-1) were achieved for AFP analysis. Furthermore, the proposed simple and label-free immunosensor was applied successfully in human serum for AFP analysis and the received results are satisfactory, revealing the designed proposal offers a significant clinical application for AFP detection.
