Abstract
Estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) are the three crucial biomarkers for the clinical diagnosis of breast cancer. Sensitive and precise detection of ER, PR, and HER2 is of great significance for the diagnosis of breast cancer. Herein, through a simple solvent-induced self-assembly process, the self-carried allochroic nanoparticles were prepared by using some hydrophobic pH indicator molecules for allochroic NPs-linked immunosorbent assay (named ALISA) of ER, PR, and HER2, respectively. Meanwhile, the introduction of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and antibody (Ab) enhanced the dispersity of the self-assembled nanoparticles as signal tags. Since the ultra-high loading and high-efficiency release of pH indicators, the ALISA exhibitssatisfactory selectivity and sensitivity, which demonstrated the great potential in the early diagnosis and postoperative monitoring of breast cancers. Furthermore, the smartphone was introduced to combine with the ALISA for point-of-care testing, indicating the high feasibility in practical applications.
