A label-free electrochemical immunoassay for IgG detection based on the electron transfer.

In this study, a highly selective, label-free electrochemical immunoassay strategy based on the charge transport through the multilayer films associated with the electrocatalytic reduction of [Fe(CN)(6)](3-) is proposed using human immunoglobulin G (human IgG) as the model analyte. The antibody-antigen complex formed on the sensing interface can efficiently induce change of the surface charge characteristics, the conductivity of multilayer film and/or electron transfer distance, resulting in an immunoreaction signal. The current reduction is proportional to the amount of analyte.
