Sensitive Colorimetric Detection of Prostate Specific Antigen Using a Peroxidase-Mimicking Anti-PSA Antibody Coated Au Nanoparticle
BioChip Journal(2020)
摘要
The use of colorimetric bioassays for protein detection is one of the most promising diagnostic approaches, but their relatively poor detection limits have been a critical issue. In this study, we developed an efficient colorimetric bioassay based on antibody-coated peroxidase-mimicking Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) for the detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), which is one of the most widely used protein biomarkers for the diagnosis of prostate and breast cancers. Anti-PSA antibody adsorption on the Au NP surface result in 65% of the peroxidasemimicking properties of Au NPs was suppressed to maximize sensitivity of the assay. Anti-PSA antibody adsorption on the Au NP was optimized at 150 µg/mL anti-PSA4 antibody for 1 h incubation, and their surface was blocked with 2% BSA. The experimental conditions of the immunoassay detection were also investigated. A highest assay value was obtained at 10 µg/mL anti-PSA1 capture antibody using 3% BSA for surface blocking and at 2.5 pM anti- PSA4-Ab coated Au NPs for 1 h incubation with PSA antigen. As a result, PSA was detected at a wide range of 0.25 to 2,500 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.23 ng/mL. The anti-PSA-Ab coated Au NP- based assay was simple, easy to operate, and sensitive. The proposed peroxidase-mimicking anti-PSA Ab-coated Au NP-based assay could be further developed to detect other protein biomarkers.
