RESUMO
In this work, a chemiluminescence (CL) aptasensor for sensitive carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) detection was constructed based on the CL system of luminol-H2O2-NaOH. Magnetic carbon nanotubes (MCNTs), as the base material, was modified with CEA-aptamer and DNA1, and was combined with the novel flower-shaped Ag@ZIF-67 of modified with DNA2 through the principle of base complementary pairing. CEA combined with aptamer when it existed in the solution. At the same time, MCNTs was adsorbed at the bottom of the container under the influence of external magnetic field, and Ag@ZIF-67 enhanced the CL signal. The CL aptasensor demonstrated high selectivity and sensitivity for CEA in human serum sample with (1-4): a detection limit of 4.53 × 10-3 ng/mL in case the detection range was 0.05-500 ng/mL. Furthermore, the proposed method had been shown great potential in cancer diagnosis.

In this work, hemin@ZIF-67 composites were prepared and were used to construct a chemiluminescence (CL) aptasensor for alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) detection. Hemin is a catalytic porphyrin with two carboxylate groups that can covalently bond to metal ions. A hemin/ZIF-67 composite was prepared via covalent bonding between the carboxyl groups of hemin and the cobalt ion of ZIF-67, and these materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Hemin@ZIF-67 was used as the peroxidase material, and the aptamer of alpha-fetoprotein was modified on its surface by electrostatic adsorption. Then a simple CL aptasensor was constructed based on the CL system of luminol-H2O2-NaOH. Under the optimal conditions, the CL intensity value was linearly proportional to the concentration of AFP in the range of 4 × 10-10 to 200 × 10-10 mg/mL. The detection limit was 1.3 × 10-10 mg/mL. Thus the aptasensor enables highly sensitive and selective detection of AFP.
