In this work, we study the electrochemical properties of protein layer grafted on gold electrode for C-reactive protein detection. Two CRP-antibody immobilization methods were used: the first method is based on direct physisorption of CRP-antibody onto the gold surface and the second method is based on oriented CRP-antibody with protein G intermediate layer. The two developed immunosensors were tested against CRP antigen in phosphate buffer saline solution and in human plasma. The electrochemical characterization of each immobilized layers was achieved by cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy. The morphology of the deposited biomolecules was observed by Atomic Force Microscopy and the roughness was measured. Moreover, contact angle measurement was used for wettability studies. The response of the developed immunosensors was reproducible, rapid, and highly stable and a detection limit of 100 fg/mL and 10 pg/mL antigen was observed with and without protein G respectively. The developed immunosensors was used for CRP detection in human plasma.

Cystatin C (Cys-C) is emerging as a critical biomarker for assess gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a condition that significantly impacts maternal and fetal health. In this study, we developed a novel label-free electrochemical immunosensor designed for point-of-care applications, offering lower reagent consumption and rapid detection of Cys-C in pregnant women with GDM. Compared to traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), the sensor demonstrates enhanced sensitivity, reduced reagent usage, and faster detection.

Carbon dots in biosensing have advanced significantly, adding improvements to different detection techniques. In this study, an amperometric immunosensor for Salmonella Thyphimurium was designed using antibodies labeled with carbon dots (Cdots) from pequi almond (Caryocar brasiliensis). Cdots were synthesized by pyrolysis and characterized by FTIR, UV/fluorescence, electrochemistry, zeta potential, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Accompanying the occurrence of inflammatory reaction to release cytokines, pyroptosis can activate an immune response for resistance against cancer. Consequently, elevated levels of cytokines released by cancer cells are highly correlated with the effectiveness of cancer treatment. Herein, a noninvasive surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) immunosensor was developed to sensitively and specifically measure the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), a proinflammatory cytokine, during the cell pyroptosis process.

The development of advanced optical probes for point-of-care testing holds great importance in the field of diagnostic technologies. This study focused on the synthesis of a probe featuring both fluorescent and photothermal responses with single excitation wavelength, which was achieved through the combination of oxidized camellia oleifera shell powder (OC) and Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs). Notably, OC derived from the direct processing of raw material showed fluorescent and phosphorescent emissions simultaneously, and the positions of the two peaks overlapped with the absorbance range of PBNPs, making the fluorescent and phosphorescent emissions of OC effectively quenched by PBNPs.

Multi-signal-based self-calibrating biosensors have become a research focus due to their superior accuracy and sensitivity in recent years. Herein, the potential-resolved differential ECL immunoassay based on dual co-reactants regulation was developed. Meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP) functionalized zirconium dioxide (ZrO) composites (TCPP-ZrO) was first synthesized using TCPP as the luminophore and ZrO as the enhancer and stabilizer.
