A novel immunosensor for detecting complement 3 (C3) in human serum was developed using sol-gel technology. This renewable biosensor offers a sensitive and feasible method for clinical analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Immunosensing

Background:

  • Complement 3 (C3) is a key protein in the immune system, and its dysregulation is linked to various diseases.
  • Accurate and sensitive detection of C3 in human serum is crucial for clinical diagnosis and monitoring.
  • Existing methods for C3 detection may have limitations in terms of speed, cost, or renewability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a renewable amperometric immunosensor for the quantitative determination of C3 in human serum.
  • To optimize the assay conditions for enhanced sensitivity and reliability.
  • To evaluate the feasibility of the proposed immunosensor for practical clinical analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of a renewable immunosensor using sol-gel entrapment of graphite, C3 antiserum, and sol-gel at low temperatures.

  • Utilizing a competitive binding assay with horseradish peroxidase-labeled C3 and o-AP substrate for amperometric detection.
  • Optimization of key assay parameters including antibody loading, labeled antigen concentration, incubation time, and temperature.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed immunosensor exhibited a linear detection range of 1.17-35.1 microg mL(-1) for C3.
    • A low detection limit of 0.56 microg mL(-1) was achieved.
    • The immunosensor demonstrated feasibility for analyzing C3 in human serum samples and its surface could be easily renewed.

    Conclusions:

    • The sol-gel based renewable amperometric immunosensor provides a sensitive and efficient platform for C3 detection in human serum.
    • The ability to renew the immunosensor surface enhances its practicality and cost-effectiveness for repeated use in clinical settings.
    • This technology holds promise for advancing diagnostic tools in clinical chemistry and immunology.
