Role of Defects of Carbon Nanomaterials in the Detection of Ovarian Cancer Cells in Label-Free Electrochemical Immunosensors
Developing label-free immunosensors to detect ovarian cancer (OC) by cancer antigen (CA125) is essential to improving diagnosis and protecting women from life-threatening diseases. Four types of carbon nanomaterials, such as multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), vapor-grown carbon fiber (VGCFs), gra...

description | Developing label-free immunosensors to detect ovarian cancer (OC) by cancer antigen (CA125) is essential to improving diagnosis and protecting women from life-threatening diseases. Four types of carbon nanomaterials, such as multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), vapor-grown carbon fiber (VGCFs), graphite KS4, and carbon black super P (SP), have been treated with acids to prepare a carbon nanomaterial/gold (Au) nanocomposite. The AuNPs@carbon nanocomposite was electrochemically deposited on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to serve as a substrate to fabricate a label-free immunosensor for the detection of CA125. Among the four AuNPs@carbon composite, the AuNPs@MWCNTs-based sensor exhibited a high sensitivity of 0.001 µg/mL for the biomarker CA125 through the square wave voltammetry (SWV) technique. The high conductivity and surface area of MWCNTs supported the immobilization of AuNPs. Moreover, the carboxylic (COO-) functional groups in MWCNT improved to a higher quantity after the acid treatment, which served as an excellent support for the fabrication of electrochemical biosensors. The present method aims to explore an environmentally friendly synthesis of a layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly of AuNPs@carbon nanomaterials electrochemical immunoassay to CA125 in a clinical diagnosis at a low cost and proved feasible for point-of-care diagnosis. |
