High sensitive aptasensing chronic myeloid leukemia on circular electrode-modified by single-walled carbon nanotube

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a cancer in the bone marrow caused by the proliferation of granulocyte cells at all the maturation stages. Late diagnosis of CML decreases the patient survival rate, makes diagnosing CML is mandatory before entering the blastic phase. CD 19 is an important target for CML and is effectively utilized for therapeutic and diagnosis purposes. This research was focused on developing an aptamer-mediated circular interdigitated electrode (IDE) sensor for detecting the level of CD 19 and measured at 0-2 V with the step of 0.1 V. To improve the surface functionalization on IDE, the surface of IDE was modified with a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCN) to enhance the aptamer immobilization. SWCN increased the aptamer attachment and also enhanced the analytical performances on IDE. This SWCN-aptamer modified IDE detected the CD 19 as low as 10 nM on a linear co-regression range from 10 to 100 nM [y = 2.0126x - 2.3857; R² = 0.9749]. Furthermore, control performances with CD 33, and complementary aptamer did not show the increment of current, and CD 19 spiked human serum increased the current flow without significant interference, demonstrating the specific and selective detection of CD 19. This biosensor quantifies CD 19 biomarker at its lower level and diagnoses CML and its associated complications.
