Abstract
The authors describe an amplified photoelectrochemical immunoassay for the tumor marker carbohydrate antigen 724 (CA724). The method employs a C3N4-MoS2 semiconductor as the photoelectric conversion layer. The nanocomposite was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and UV-vis diffuse reflectometry. The dye eosin Y was encapsulated into CaCO3 nanospheres which then were used as labels for antibody against CA724. In addition,Fe3O4 nanospheres were employed as magnetic platform for constructing photoelectrochemical sandwich immunoassay. TheCaCO3 nanospheres can be dissolved with aid of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and the carried eosin Y in CaCO3 is released. The released dyes sensitizes the C3N4-MoS2 semiconductor, which induces photocurrent amplification. Under optimal conditions and at a typical working voltage of 0V (vs. SCE), the photocurrent increases linearly in the range of 0.05mUmL-1 to 500mUmL-1 ofCA724, with a 0.02mUmL-1 detection limit. Graphical abstract TheC3N4-MoS2 complex, with high efficiency of electron transport, was synthesized to construct aphotoelectrochemical analyticalplatform. A sandwich-type immunoassay was established on the surface of magnetic beads. Carbohydrate antigen 724 in sample was detected sensitively by using sensitization of released eosin Y as signal amplifiery.
