Using Boehmite Nanoparticles as an Undercoat, and Riboflavin as a Redox Probe for Immunosensor Designing: Ultrasensitive Detection of Hepatitis C Virus Core Antigen

Authors

Abstract:

In this study a label-free electrochemical Immunosensor for ultrasensitive detection of Hepatitis C virus core antigen in serum samples was fabricated by using a simple approach. In this method a low-cost and sensitive immunosensor was fabricated based on a boehmite nanoparticles (BNPs) modified glassy carbon. The BNPs provide a specific platform with increased surface area which is capable of loading more antibody molecules as a receptor element of Hepatitis C virus core antigen on the electrode surface. It seems that BNP/ antibody conjugate may be an ideal platform for the development of an efficient immunosensor. It is worth noting that the proposed nanoimmunosensor combines the advantages of the elimination of another substrates in modifying the electrode and reducing the length of the modifying process. The experimental parameters, such as pH and incubation of time were optimized. Under the optimal conditions at modified GCE, a linear relationship was realized in the range of 0.08 to 110 pg mL−1, with the detection limit of 10 fg mL−1. The proposed method was applied to the determination of Hepatitis C virus core antigen in serum samples with the desirable results.

MultisHRP-DNA-coated CMWNTs as signal labels for an ultrasensitive hepatitis C virus core antigen electrochemical immunosensor.

An ultrasensitive and selective electrochemical immunosensor was developed for the detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) core antigen. The immunosensor consists of graphitized mesoporous carbon-methylene blue (GMCs-MB) nanocomposite as an electrode modified material and a horseradish peroxidase-DNA-coated carboxyl multi-wall carbon nanotubes (CMWNTs) as a secondary antibody layer. After modifica...

Preparation and characterization of PLGA Nanoparticles containing recombinant core-NS3 Fusion protein of hepatitis C virus as a nano-vaccine candidate

Introduction: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the most serious causes of cirrhosis, liver cancer and ultimately death, worldwide. The new direct-acting drugs are not accessible for many patients around the world and progress toward new therapeutic and anaphylactic vaccines design has not been fast enough. This study was aimed to prepare and assess a recombinant fusion protein core-NS3 (rC-N) ...

Ultrasensitive electrochemiluminescence immunosensor using PtAg@carbon nanocrystals composites as labels and carbon nanotubes-chitosan/gold nanoparticles as enhancer.

An ultrasensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor was developed using PtAg@carbon nanocrystals (CNCs) as excellent labels based on carbon nanotubes-chitosan/AuNPs (CNT-CHIT/AuNPs) composite modified screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) for prostate protein antigen (PSA) detection. The CNCs were obtained simply by electro-oxidation of graphite with abundant carboxyl groups at the...

A novel nanoaggregation detection technique of TNT using selective and ultrasensitive nanocurcumin as a probe.

Here, for the first time, we designed an ultrasensitive nanocurcumin based nanomaterials surface energy transfer (NSET) probe for detection of trace amount of TNT with excellent sensitivity (1 nM) and selectivity over other nitro explosives via nanoaggregation and we found the largest fluorescent enhancement to date for sensing TNT (upto 800 fold).
