We developed a signal-on electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor by using SI-ATRP to facilitate high-density immobilization of luminophores and manganese dioxide-graphene (MnO2-GO) composite to indirect deactivate the excited state of Ru(dcbpy)(3)(2+) for ultrasensitive detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). In this approach, manganese dioxide-graphene (MnO2-GO) composite served as an efficient quencher for indirect deactivating the excited state of Ru(dcbpy)(3)(2+). Surface initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) was applied to functionalize multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) as the functional monomer. A nanocomposite material of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer encapsulated AuNPs was used as the carrier to combine Ru(dcbpy)(3)(2+) and poly-GMA together for the synthesis of the ECL matrices. The prepared matrices were applied to bind amino-modified auxiliary probe I (A(1)), which was partially complementary with the CEA aptamer. Meanwhile, the MnO2-GO composite was modified with another amino-modified CEA aptamer-partial-complementary auxiliary probe II (A(2)). Through the hybridization of CEA aptamer with A(1) and A(2), the quencher MnO2-GO composite was linked with the ECL matrices, by which a low ECL signal was detected (off-state). However, in the presence of CEA, the sandwich-like structure was destroyed because CEA would bind to its aptamer in lieu of the auxiliary probes, which resulted in a recovery of ECL signal (on-state). The proposed ECL aptasensor showed high sensitivity with a detection limit of 25.3 fg mL(-1) and a wide linear range of 0.1 pg mL(-1) to 20 ng mL(-1). Consequently, with the excellent sensitivity, stability and satisfying precision, the as-proposed strategy constitutes a promising detection technique for clinical diagnosis.
