Abstract
Programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) can enhance the immune tolerance of tumor cells by suppressing the activity of T-cells, and is one of the culprits that lead to the immune escape of tumor cells. Thus, the sensitive and portable detection of PD-L1 levels is essential for many types of tumor prognosis. Herein, a novel dual-mode analytical device for the ultrasensitive detection of PD-L1 has been developed. In this configuration, an advanced organic-inorganic hybrid material of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) -BiOBr0.8I0.2 is designed as photocathode to enhance the photogenerated electron migration efficiency of the MWCNTs/SnS2-photoanode by external circuit, amplifying cathodic photocurrent without extra energy supply. The PD-L1 aptamer is loaded on the photocathode surface to ensure selectivity. The obtained sensing platform can achieve highly sensitive and specific detection of PD-L1 in complex environment, with a low detection limit of 0.29 pg mL-1. On the other hand, electrochromic material Prussian blue (PB) and MWCNTs/SnS2 are integrated to fabricate a portable sensing chip for PD-L1. Under illumination, photogenerated electrons of MWCNTs/SnS2 are injected into Prussian blue, and the blue PB is reduced to white product, indicating the concentration of PD-L1, without need of other instrument. This self-powered photoelectrochemical and visual analysis system has good practicability and is a promising clinical diagnosis tool.
