An Electrochemical Immunoassay System for Measuring Circulating Protein Biomarkers of Pediatric Soft Tissue Sarcoma
ECS Meeting Abstracts(2022)
Abstract
The combination of simple, inexpensive 3D-printed flow cells with electrochemical biosensors has recently emerged a promising strategy for detecting molecular biomarkers of disease. In this study, we report a multiplex electrochemical immunoassay based on pencil graphite electrode arrays, 3D-printed flow cells and magnetic bead bioconjugates for simultaneous detection of three biomarker proteins (cancer antigen 125 (CA-125), midkine (MK) and osteopontin (OPN)) linked to pediatric soft tissue sarcoma (PSTS). Magnetic bead bioconjugates are functionalized with large amounts of antibody and enzyme labels according to a previously reported strategy,1 pencil graphite electrodes are modified with gold nanoparticles and antibodies for specific capture of bioconjugate-labeled biomarkers, and 3D-printed flow cells to facilitate amperometric detection. Using this immunoassay platform, detection limits for CA-125, MK and OPN that are 100 times lower than those obtained using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) can be achieved. The combination of low-cost pencil graphite electrode arrays with the convenience of multi-labeled magnetic bead bioconjugates and simplicity of 3D-printed flow-cells results in a promising electrochemical biosensing strategy for biomarker proteins CA-125, MK, and OPN in human serum samples.
