ABSTRACT
It is valuable to develop a sensing platform for not only detecting a tumor marker in body fluids but also measuring its expression at single cells. In the present study, a simple closed bipolar electrodes-based electrochemiluminescence (BPEs-ECL) imaging strategy was developed for visual immunoassay of prostate specific antigen (PSA) at single cells using functional nanoprobes of heterogeneous Ru(bpy)32+@SiO2/Au nanoparticles. Multiple-assisted ECL signal amplification strategy was introduced into the detection system on the basis of the synergetic amplifying effect of the anodic and cathodic amplification. On the basis of the synergetic amplifying effect, the detection limits of PSA by using photomultiplier tube and charge-coupled device (CCD) imaging are 3.0 and 31 pg/mL, respectively. The obtained immunosensor was employed to evaluate PSA levels in serum samples with a satisfying result. Moreover, the obtained functional nanoprobes were used to visually profile the PSA expression on the surface of single LNCaP cells (a kind of prostate cancer cells) based on a bare BPE. The results show that the functional nanoprobes-based ECL imaging immunoassay provides a promising visual platform for detecting tumor markers (proteins and cancer cells) and thus shows a high potential in cancer diagnosis.
