Disease-related biomarkers are objectively measurable molecular signatures of physiological status that can serve as disease indicators or drug targets in clinical diagnosis and therapy, thus acting a tool support personalized medicine. For example, the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) biomarker is now widely used to screen patients for prostate cancer. However, few such currently available, process identification validation prolonged complicated by inefficient methods discovery reliable...

Quantum dots (QDs) have the potential to simplify performance of multiplexed analysis. In this work, a novel protocol for performing simultaneous dual-protein immunoassay, i.e. two lung cancer biomarkers, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE), based on dual-color QDs, is described. First, capture antibodies (both with biotin tags), antigens detection were mixed together sandwich complexes thus formed in homogeneous solution, then streptavidin coated polystyrene...

We introduce here a novel assay for the detection of platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) via hybridization chain reaction (HCR) based on an aptameric system, where stable DNA monomers assemble only upon exposure to target PDGF-BB aptamer. In this process, two complementary species biotinylated hairpins coexist in solution until introduction initiator aptamer strands triggers cascade events that yields nicked double helices analogous alternating copolymers. detail, firstly opens...

Sensitive detection and accurate diagnosis/prognosis of glioma remain urgent challenges. Herein, dispersed magnetic covalent organic framework nanospheres (MCOF) with uniformed Fe3O4 nano-assembly as cores high-crystalline COF shells were prepared by monomer-mediated in-situ interface growth strategy. Based on the unique interaction between MCOF hairpin DNA, a fluorescent signal amplified miRNA biosensor was constructed. It could realize sensitive miRNA-182 in different matrixes, where...

There are potential advantages, in terms of simplicity and speed, for detecting DNA hybridization steps directly without using any external labels, especially the multiplexed assays. In current paper, we describe use a carrier-resolved label-free assay simultaneous detection multiple targets. Herein demonstrate that this protocol, three homogeneous carriers thermosensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), polystyrene beads, magnetic respectively, determination short fragments specific to...

We have developed a new aptamer-based chemiluminescence (CL) biosensing platform for the sequential detection of two small molecules as exemplified by adenosine and cocaine. Each comprises NH2-functionalized capture DNA immobilized on magnetic beads; this can hybridize with one end aptamer. A corresponding reporter probe labeled either digoxigenin or biotin its 5′-terminus recognizes other The target compounds cocaine act specific competitors to aptamer–reporter binding, aptamers...

Fibroblast activation protein-alpha (FAPα) is a key modulator of the microenvironment in multiple pathologies and becoming next pan-cancer target for cancer diagnostics therapeutics. Chemiluminescence (CL) luminophores are considered as one most sensitive families probes detection imaging applications due to their high signal-to-noise ratio. Until now, however, no such effective CL probe was reported FAPα detection. Herein, we developed novel endogenous activity by incorporating...
