Background:
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignant tumors and the leading cause of cancer deaths among women. The early diagnosis and treatment of BC are effective measures that can increase survival rates and reduce mortality. Carbohydrate antigens 15-3 (CA15-3) and carcinoma embryonic antigens (CEA) have been regarded as the most two valuable tumor markers of BC. The combined detection of CA15-3 and CEA could improve the sensitivity and accuracy of early diagnosis for BC.
Methods:
The multi-channel double-gate silicon nanowire field effect transistor (SiNW-FET) biosensors were fabricated by using the top-down semiconductor manufacturing technology. By surface modification of the different SiNW surfaces with monoclonal CA15-3 and CEA antibodies separately, the prepared SiNW-FET was processed into biosensor for dual-channel detection of CA15-3 and CEA.
Results:
The prepared SiNW-FET biosensors were proved to have high sensitivity and specificity for the dual-channel detection of CA15-3 and CEA, and the detection limit is as low as 0.1U/mL CA15-3 and 0.01 ng/mL CEA. Moreover, the SiNW-FET biosensors were able to detect CA15-3 and CEA in serum by connecting a miniature hemodialyzer.
Conclusion:
The present study reported a SiNW-FET biosensor for dual-channel detection of breast cancer biomarkers CA15-3 and CEA in serum, which has potential clinical application value for the early diagnosis and curative effect observation of BC.
