Isoniazide modified Ag nanoparticles triggered photothermal immunoassay for carcinoembryonic antigen detection

Anal Biochem. 2023 Oct 25:115370. doi: 10.1016/j.ab.2023.115370. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAs the most well-known analytical tool, the thermometer has been extended to the field of biological analysis based on the photothermal effect. Herein, isoniazide modified Ag nanoparticles were prepared as nanolabels to build an immunoassay. The nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), dynamic laser scattering (DLS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR). When the target protein was present, the sandwich immunoassay was developed and the photothermal reaction was triggered by isoniazide modified Ag nanoparticles. As a reducing agent, isoniazide is used to transform phosphomolybdic acid hydrate into molybdenum blue solution. And molybdenum blue had good photothermal stability and high photothermal conversion efficiency. The temperature variation of molybdenum blue solution showed a positive correlation with the concentration of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Thus, the target protein of CEA was quantitative detection by thermometer. The linear response range is 0.1 ng mL-1 to 40 ng mL-1, and the detection limit is 0.08 ng mL-1. Moreover, the proposed protocol had satisfactory selectivity, accuracy, and reproducibility.PMID:37890548 | DOI:10.1016/j.ab.2023.115370
