Abstract

Effective detection of cancer biomarkers plays a crucial role in the prevention of early cancer. Here, a sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor was successfully constructed for sensitive detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) using MoS2/CuS-Au as sensing platform and mulberry-like Au@PtPd porous nanorods (Au@PtPd MPs) as signal amplifiers. The large surface area and good biocompatibility of MoS2/CuS-Au increased the loading of primary antibody. And the good conductivity of MoS2/CuS-Au accelerated the electron transport rate of the electrode surface. Au@PtPd MPs with large specific surface area and a large number of catalytically active sites showed excellent electrocatalytic performance for hydrogen peroxide reduction. The sandwich-type immunosensor prepared by the signal amplification strategy exhibited a wide linear detection range (50 fg/mL to 100 ng/mL) and a low detection limit of 16.7 fg/mL (S/N = 3), featuring good selectivity, stability and reproducibility. Moreover, the satisfactory results in analysis of human serum samples indicated that it possessed a potential application promising in early clinical diagnoses.
