Sumario: | This work reports a study on the development of a sensitive immunosensor for the assay of actin, which is fabricated using sensing material chitosan-Zn nanoparticles (NPs) and anti-actin modified on glassy carbon electrode respectively. The prepared materials were characterized using transmission electron microscope (TEM), fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra, and circular dichroism (CD) techniques. Meanwhile, the electrochemical properties were studied by linear sweep voltammetric (LSV), electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS), and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). According to the experiments, under the optimum conditions, the linear fitting equation was I (μA) = −17.31 + 78.97c (R(2) = 0.9948). The linear range was from 0.0001 to 0.1 mg/mL and the detection limit (LOD, S/N = 3) was 21.52 ng/mL. The interference studies were also performed for checking the sensors’ selectivity to actin. With better properties of the chitosan-Zn NPs, the modified electrode is considered as a better candidate than Western blot or immunohistochemical method for real-time usability. The detection limit reported is the lowest till date and this method provides a new approach for quality evaluation. |
