Abstract: Anovel schistosoma japonicum(Sj) imunnosensor based on aggregation of chitosan and CNBr-activated alginate is developed.The complex formed by CNBr-activated alginate and antibody is aggregated on the surface of the paraffin-graphite-chitosan electrode by electrostatic adsorption(coacervation).The concentration of SjAg can be detected by determining the redox current of o-aminophenol oxidized by H2O2in the presence of HRP.The electrode can be reused by simple treatment.Moreover, the imunnosensor shows some improved performances including high sensitivity, selectivity and less non-specific adsorption.The sensor exhibits a linear response to SjAg in the concentration range from 0.64 to 40 μg/mL.The sensor was applied to the determination of SjAg in rabbit serum with satisfactory results.

Key words: CNBr-activated alginate, o-Aminophenol, Coacervation, Chitosan, Amperometric immunosensor
