Multi-armed dendritic polyaniline nanofibers (MPANFs) were first synthesized and functionalized with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and carcinoembryonic antibody (anti-CEA) for highly efficient electrochemical immunoassay of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA, as a model analyte here) in this work. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques were employed to characterize the synthesized MPANFs. By using anti-CEA-conjugated core-shell gold-Fe(3)O(4) nanocomposites (GoldMag) as immunosensing probes and biofunctionalized MPANFs as molecular tags, a new sandwich-type homogeneous immunoassay strategy was developed for the determination of CEA by coupling with a home-made flow-through magneto-controlled microfluidic device. Under optimal conditions, the electrochemical immunoassay exhibited a wide dynamic range of four orders of magnitude from 1.0 pg mL(-1) to 50 ng mL(-1) with a low detection limit of 0.1 pg mL(-1) CEA at 3σ. Intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation were below 10%. The assayed results for clinical serum specimens with the electrochemical immunoassay were received in good accordance with the results obtained from the referenced enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.

Background: Estriol (E3) is a common estrogen responsible for regulating the female reproductive system, but excessive amount can pose health risks to humans and wild life. Therefore, sensitive and accurate detection of estriol level is crucial. A novel competitive ECL immunosensor based on a dual signal amplification strategy of AuNPs@GO@SmMoSe and Gd(MoO) was fabricated for ultrasensitive detection of estriol.

The sensitive detection of inflammatory biomarkers in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) is highly desirable for the evaluation of periodontal disease. Luminol-based electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensors offer a promising approach for the fast and convenient detection of biomarkers. However, luminol's low ECL efficiency under neutral conditions remains a challenge.

A sandwich electrochemical immunosensor was proposed for the sensitive detection of protective antigen ( PA) toxin based on cadmium sulphide nanocrystals (CdS NCs) and polypyrrole-gold nanoparticle-modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (PPy-AuNPs/MWCNTs). Herein, PPy-AuNPs/MWCNTs were used as a biocompatible and conducting matrix for immobilization of rabbit anti-PA antibody [RαPA antibody, capturing antibody (Ab1)] and to facilitate excellent electrical conductivity. PPy-AuNPs/MWCNTs were synthesized through a one-step chemical reaction of pyrrole and Au on the surface of MWCNTs.

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensors are highly promising tools for monitoring biochemical molecules. Constructing high-performance heterojunctions is a general method to improve the sensitivity of PEC immunosensors. The internal electric field (IEF) formed at the heterojunction interface plays a crucial role in coordinating the separation of photogenerated carriers.
