Article Abstract
Monodisperse poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) nanospheres were obtained by emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization and characterized by physicochemical methods. The effects of various reaction parameters on the particle properties were investigated. The particle size was controlled in the range of 350-420 nm. To introduce carboxyl groups, the PGMA nanospheres were hydrolyzed and oxidized with KMnO4. Subsequently, the enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and the electron mediator thionine were covalently attached to the PGMA nanospheres to obtain an antibody indicator suitable for enzyme-based electrochemical immunosensors. Combined HRP and thionine binding to the nanospheres had beneficial effects for the labeling efficiency and at the same time prevented the formation of soluble electron mediators.

Oriented antibody immobilization has been widely employed in immunoassays and immunodiagnoses due to its efficacy in identifying target antigens. Herein, a heptapeptide ligand, HWRGWVC (HC7), was coupled to poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) nanospheres (PGMA-HC7). The antibody immobilization behavior and antigen recognition performance were investigated and compared with those on PGMA nanospheres by nonspecific adsorption and covalent coupling via carbodiimide chemistry.

Glycosylation on the cell surface contains abundant biological information, and detecting the glycan on cell surfaces can offer critical insight into biology and diseases. Here, a signal amplification strategy for the sensitive detection of glycan expression on the cell surface was proposed. In this approach, glycans on the cell surface were detected with poly(glycidyl methacrylate)-grafted silica nanosphere labeled with quantum dots (QDs) and biotin through the specific affinity reaction of avidin-biotin on the cancer cells.

A signal amplification strategy for sensitive detection of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) using quantum dots (QDs)-polymer-functionalized silica nanosphere as the label was proposed. In this approach, silica nanospheres with good monodispersity and uniform structure were employed as carriers for surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate, which is readily available functional monomer that possessing easily transformable epoxy groups for subsequent CdTe QDs binding through ring-open reaction. Then, human anti rabbit TNF-α antibody (anti-TNF-α, Ab2, served as a model protein) was bonded to CdTe QDs-modified silica nanospheres coated with polymer to obtain QDs-polymer-functionalized silica nanosphere labels (Si/PGMA/QD/Ab2).
