Abstract

AbstractPlacental Growth factor (PlGF) is one of the biomarkers useful for detecting pregnancy hypertension disorder, Pre‐eclampsia. Herein, we focus on developing a label‐free immunosensor using simple electrochemical methods to detect PlGF antigens for pre‐eclampsia diagnosis. The work includes the electrochemical deposition of Palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) on the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface using amperometry followed by electropolymerization of diaminobenzoic acid (DABA) onto the PdNPs/GCE. Antibody (aPlGF) was covalently immobilized on the pDABA/PdNPs/GCE using EDC/NHS reaction. The interaction of the antibody with the antigen was measured using differential pulse voltammetric technique. The linear range obtained for the immunosensor is 1–25 ng mL−1 with a limit of detection of 53 pg mL−1. The stability and reproducibility of the sensor were obtained in the acceptable range. The developed sensor was used to detect PlGF antigen in artificial blood and urine samples by spike recovery analysis.
