Abstract
In this paper, a novel detection technique for tumor marker carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) has been developed by using a solid-state nanopore as a tool. The system utilizes the specific affinity between aptamer-modified magnetic Fe3O4 and CEA, rather than directly detecting the translocation of CEA through the nanopore. The aptamer-modified magnetic Fe3O4 was hybridized with tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDNs), and TDNs were released after CEA was added. We investigate the translocation behavior of individual TDNs through solid-state nanopores. The frequency of the blockage signals for TDNs is recorded for indirect detection of CEA. We realized the detection of CEA with a concentration as low as 0.1 nM and proved the specificity of the interaction between the aptamer. In addition, our designed nanopore sensing strategy can detect CEA in real samples.
