| Abstract: |
| In this paper, a novel label free electrochemical immunosensor was introduced based on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with carboxylated carbon nanotube (C-MWCNT)/ gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)/ polyaniline (PANI) for the detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA). The precise magnitude of prostate specific antigen (PSA) tumor marker in blood is vital for early cancer diagnosis and clinical management. The AuNPs were utilized as a connector for PSA antibody immobilization through NH2 groups on antibody. Investigations on modified electrode surface were performed by FT-IR spectrum and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The result of FT-IR confirmed the electrodeposition of AuNPs on the electrode surface. According to SEM image, COOH-MWCNTs/PANI/AuNPs were immobilizedAs a sensitive analytical method for the detection of PSA, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was employed in different ranges of antigen concentration, 33 pg.mL-1 to 1.5 ng.mL-1, from the linear relationship between antigen concentration and peak current. Additionally, the equation of the calibration plot is I(µA) = -142.52 C(ng.mL-1)+313.32 (R2=0.9902). |
