Abstract
In this work, the direct electrochemical determination of poly-histidine tagged proteins using immunosensor based on anti-His (C-term) antibody immobilized on gold electrodes modified with 1,6-hexanedithiol, gold colloid particles or gold nanorods is described. The recombinant histidine-tagged silk proteinase inhibitor protein (rSPI2-His6) expressed in Pichia system selected as antigen for this immonosensor. An electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used as label free detection technique for immune conjugation. The gold nanorods modified electrode layer showed better analytical response than gold nano particles. The linear calibration range was observed between 10pg/ml and 1ng/ml with limit of detection 5pg/ml (S/N=3). Up to four successive assay cycles with retentive sensitivity were achieved for the immunosensors regenerated with 0.2M glycine–HCl buffer, pH 2.8. The performance of this immnosensor were compared with immuoblotting techniques.
