Streptavidin, as a dopant, has been incorporated into a polypyrrole film to bind biotinylated antibody onto the electrode surface. With four biotin binding sites, the incorporation of streptavdin, as confirmed by FTIR and impedance spectroscopy, provided a new method to amplify the response signal from antibody-antigen interaction. Biotinylated anti-goat IgG, as a probe, and goat IgG, as a target, were employed to evaluate the characteristics of the biosensor. With the amplification strategy, the detection sensitivity of the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was significantly improved. A linear relationship between the charge transfer resistance change (Delta R-t) and the concentration of goat IgG ranging from 10 pg/mI to 100 ng/n-d was obtained. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.
