Abstract
The objective of this study was to develop an aptamer-based bifunctional bio-nanogate, which could selectively respond to target molecules, and control enzymatic reaction for electrochemical measurements. It was successfully applied for sensitive, selective, rapid, quantitative, and label-free detection of avian influenza viruses (AIV) H5N1. A nanoporous gold film with pore size of ~20 nm was prepared by a metallic corrosion method, and the purity was checked by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) study. To improve the performance of the bio-nanogate biosensor, its main analytical parameters were studied and optimized. We demonstrated that the developed bio-nanogate was capable of controlling enzymatic reaction for AIV H5N1 sensing within 1h with a detection limit of 2(-9)HAU (hemagglutination units). The enzymatic reaction was able to cause significant current change due to the presence of target AIV. A linear relationship was found in the virus titer range of 2(-10)-2(2)HAU. No interference was observed from non-target AIV subtypes such as H1N1, H2N2, H4N8 and H7N2. The developed approach could be adopted for sensing of other viruses.
