Abstract
Recent research has looked to develop innovative, powerful and novel biofunctionalized nanoparticles, controlling and tailoring their properties in a very predictable manner to meet the needs of clinic immunoassays in the biomedical field. This minireview briefly summarizes recent advances covering the last 3 years, exploiting nanoparticle-based electrochemical, optical, mass-sensitive, colorimetric and immunodipstick assays. The enormous signal enhancement associated with the use of nanoparticles and formation of nanoparticle-antibody-antigen assemblies provide the basis for sensitive detection of disease-related proteins or biomarkers. Rather than being exhaustive, this minireview focuses on selected examples to illustrate novel concepts and promising applications. Finally, a small amount of speculation of possible future developments in nanoparticle-based immunoassays is provided.
