Popis: Amyloid beta (a&beta
) 1-42, a peptide that is 1-42 amino acids long, is a major component of senile plaques in the brains of patients with Alzheimer&rsquo
s disease. A&beta
detection has become an essential antecedence to predict the declining mental abilities of patients. In this paper, a probeless capacitive biosensor for the non-Faradaic detection of a&beta
1-42 peptide was developed by immobilizing a specific anti-a&beta
antibody onto a self-assembled monolayer functionalized interdigitated chain-shaped electrode (anti-a&beta
/SAM/ICE). The novelty and difference of this article from previous studies is the direct detection of a&beta
peptide with no redox probe ((Fe(CN)6)3&minus
/4&minus
), which can avoid the denaturation of the protein caused by the metallization (binding of a&beta
to metal ion Fe which is presented in the redox couple). The direct detection of a&beta
with no redox probe is performed by non-Faradaic capacitive measurement, which is greatly different from the Faradaic measurement of the charge transfer resistance of the redox probe. The detection of various a&beta
1-42 peptide concentrations in human serum (HS) was performed by measuring the relative change in electrode interfacial capacitance due to the specific antibody-a&beta
binding. Capacitance change in the anti-a&beta
/SAM/ICE biosensor showed a linear detection range between 10 pg mL&minus
1 and 104 pg mL&minus
1, and a detection limit of 7.5 pg mL&minus
1 in HS, which was much lower than the limit of detection for CSF a&beta
1-42 (~500 pg mL&minus
1) and other biosensors. The small dissociation constant Kd of the antibody-antigen interaction was also found to be 0.016 nM in HS, indicating the high binding affinity of the anti-a&beta
/SAM/ICE biosensor in the recognizing of a&beta
1-42. Thus, the developed sensor can be used for label-free and direct measurement of a&beta
1-42 peptide and for point-of-care diagnosis of Alzheimer&rsquo
s disease without redox probe.
