Abstract:

15 nm-nanogold was used to label monoclone goat antihuman α-fetoprotein antibody(GAFP) to obtain immunonanogold probe(AuGAFP) for α-fetoprotein(AFP). Both nanogold and the probe have catalytic effect on the slow Cu2O particle reaction between Fehling reagent and glucose that exhibit a resonance scattering peak at 620 nm. Combining AFP-AuGAFP immunoreaction with centrifugation technique, a highly sensitive immunonanogold catalytic-Cu2O particle resonance scattering spectral assay for AFP was proposed. With addition of AFP, the AFP-AuGAFP immunocomplex increased, the excess probe in the supernatant decreased, and the resonance scattering intensity at 620 nm decreased linearly. The decreased intensity ΔIRS was linear to AFP concentration[ρ(AFP)] in the range of 0.10—16.0 ng/mL, with a regression equation of ΔIRS=4.27ρ(AFP)+1.28, and a detection limit of 0.05 ng/mL. This method was applied to the detection of AFP in sera, with high sensitivity and good selectivity, in addition to low-cost reagents and easy controlling reaction.
