Abstract

An electrochemical nanoimmunosensor based on multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was developed for the amplified detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA). The amplified detection was achieved by the enhanced precipitation of 4-chloro-1-naphthol (CN) using a higher number of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) molecules attached on MWCNTs. The PSA nanoimmunosensor was fabricated by immobilizing a monoclonal anti-PSA antibody (anti-PSA) on the AuNP-attached thiolated MWCNT on a gold electrode. The sensor surface was characterized using scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, quartz crystal microbalance, and electrochemical techniques. Cyclic and square wave voltammetric techniques were used to monitor the enhanced precipitation of CN that accumulated on the electrode surface and subsequent decrement in the electrode surface area by monitoring the reduction process of the Fe(CN)(6)(3-)/Fe(CN)(6)(4-) redox couple. Under the optimized experimental condition, the linear range and the detection limit of PSA immunosensor were determined to be 1.0 pg/mL to 10.0 ng/mL and 0.40 ± 0.03 pg/mL, respectively. The validity of the proposed method was compared with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method in various PSA spiked human serum samples.
