Abstract: Gold nanoparticles labeled by both antibody(IgG) and single stranded DNA(ss-DNA) were synthesized and characterized. The stability and reactivity of the dual-labeled nanoparticles were compared with the conventional IgG or ss-DNA modified nanoparticles. It was found that the IgG adsorption significantly improved the stability of the nanoparticles in aqueous solution, which is beneficial for attaching ss-DNA. The presence of IgG also effectively prohibits the desorption of ss-DNA against dithiothreitol(DTT) displacement. The coverage on dual-labeled nanoparticles was found to be (50±15) ss-DNA/nanoparticle and (10±2) IgG/nanoparticle, respectively, compared to the value of (70±15) ss-DNA/nanoparticle of only ss-DNA-labeled gold nanoparticles. Dot-immuno and cross-linking experiments confirmed that both the IgG and ss-DNA retained their bioactivity on the nanoparticle surface. The dual-labeled nanoparticles have potential to be used as novel bio-probes for ultrasensitive detection.
