ABSTRACT
The early detection of biomarker proteins in clinical samples is of great significance for the diagnosis of diseases. However, it is still a challenge to detect low-concentration protein. Herein, a label-free aptamer-based amplification assay, termed the ATC-TA system, that allows fluorescence detection of very low numbers of protein without time-consuming washing steps and pre-treatment was developed. The target induces a conformational change in the allosteric aptasensor, triggers the target cycling and transcription amplification, and ultimately converts the input of the target protein into the output of the light-up aptamer (R-Pepper). It exhibits ultrahigh sensitivity with a detection limit of 5.62 fM at 37 â and the accuracy is comparable to conventional ELISA. ATC-TA has potential application for the detection of endogenous PDGF-BB in serum samples to distinguish tumor mice from healthy mice at an early stage. It also successfully detects exogenous SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins in human serum. Therefore, this high-sensitive, universality, easy-to-operate and cost-effective biosensing platform holds great clinical application potential in early clinical diagnosis.
