Abstract

Based on the etching of gold nanorods (GNRs) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), a multicolor immunosensor for visual detection of enterovirus 71 infection is proposed. Once the immunocomplex is formed, the horseradish peroxidase bound to the ELISA plate oxidizes 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into TMB2+ in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Subsequently, TMB2+ quantitatively etches GNRs to the short GNRs, leading to a blue shift of longitudinal localized surface plasmon resonance and corresponding color responses. This change is used to develop two types of cut-off standards, which respondto the human anti-enterovirus at a concentration of71 IgM antibody. The method has been validated with clinical serum samplesand showed high sensitivity and specificity . This visual immunosensor has an important application value for point-of-care detection of EV71, especially in areas lacking detection equipment. Graphical abstract.
