Abstract:
Sodium montmorillonites (Na-Mont), which could be transformed from nano-montmorillonites, have large surface area, chemical stability, nontoxicity, high cation exchange property and superior adsorption ability. In this paper, Na-Mont were used as a support of polyaniline (PANI) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) via the interaction of aniline and HAuCl4 solution. A sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor was developed to detect squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag). It used nitrogen-doped graphene sheets (N-GS) for the immobilization of primary anti-SCC antibodies (Ab1) and the combined Na-Mont-PANI-AuNPs nanocomposites as labels. Na-Mont-PANI-AuNPs have excellent catalytic ability towards the reduction of H2O2, thus enhance the sensitivity of the immunosensor. The immunosensor exhibits a wide linear range (1 pg/mL-5 ng/mL), a low detection limit (0.3 pg/mL), good reproducibility, selectivity and stability. This new type of immunosensor with Na-Mont-PANI-AuNPs as labels may provide potential application for the detection of SCC-Ag.
