Abstract
In this work, based on boron nitride quantum dots (BNQDs) as energy donors and MnO2@MWCNTs-COOH as energy receptors, we designed an efficient electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) immunosensor for the detection of amyloid-β (Aβ42) protein, a biomarker of Alzheimer's disease (AD). First, the signal amplification of a ternary ECL system composed of BNQDs (as the ECL emitter), K2S2O8 (as the coreactant), and silver metal-organic gels (AgMOG, as the coreaction accelerator) was realized, and PDDA as stabilizer was added, a strong and stable initial ECL signal was obtained. AgMOG could not only support a large amount of BNQDs and Aβ42 capture antibody (Ab1) through Ag-N bond but also exhibit excellent ECL catalytic performance and enhance the luminescent intensity of BNQDs@PDDA-K2S2O8 system. In addition, due to the broad absorption spectrum of MnO2@MWCNTs-COOH and the extensive overlap with the ECL emission spectrum of BNQDs, the quenching probe Ab2-MnO2@MWCNTs-COOH could be introduced into the ternary system through a sandwich immune response. On this basis, the signal on-off ECL immunosensor was constructed to achieve the ultrasensitive detection of Aβ42 through signal transformation. Under the optimal conditions, the prepared ECL biosensor manifested a wide linear range (10 fg/mL-100 ng/mL) with a detection limit of 2.89 fg/mL and showed excellent stability, selectivity, and repeatability, which provided an effective strategy for the ultrasensitive detection of biomarkers in clinical analysis.
