Development of simple, robust, and reliable detection strategy of disease biomarkers holds tremendous promise for early clinical diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. In this work, through combining a silver nanoparticle (AgNP) linked immunoassay and aggregation induced emission (AIE)-based fluorogenic Ag probe, we developed a silver-amplified fluorescence immunoassay for the detection of disease biomarkers. This method overcame the intrinsic limitations of enzymes as the dissolution of AgNPs generated numerous Ag, which could switch on the fluorogenic Ag probe driven by tetrazolate-Ag complexation. As a proof of concept, our method could be used for determining α-fetoprotein (AFP) with a linear relationship in concentrations ranging from 0.1 ng mL to 5 μg mL and a low limit of detection of 42 pg mL. Our method was successfully confirmed for the detection of AFP in real serum samples from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, demonstrating the great potential for clinical diagnosis.

Background: Cereals are susceptible to aflatoxin contamination during storage and transportation, which is highly carcinogenic and teratogenic, and seriously threaten human health. The accurate and rapid detection of total aflatoxin (including aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, and G2) is of great importance for food safety. Conventional fluorescence immunoassays have the advantage of being sensitive and fast; however, these methods can be affected by strong background and matrix interference.

The development of a nanoparticle-based detection methodology for sensitive and specific DNA-based diagnostic applications is described. The technology utilizes gold nanoparticles derivatized with thiol modified oligonucleotides that are designed to bind complementary DNA targets. A glass surface with arrays of immobilized oligonucleotide capture sequences is used to capture DNA targets, which are then detected via hybridization to the gold nanoparticle probes.
