This study describes the development of an electrochemical immunoassay for the direct detection of methylated DNA using dissolved oxygen as the redox probe. The immunoassay is based on a redox conducting polymer and gold nanoparticles, which enhance sensor performance. No secondary antibodies or enzymes are needed in the construction of this immunoassay.
The present work describes the development of an electrochemical immunosensor for the direct determination of methylated DNA using dissolved oxygen as the redox probe. The oxygen-sensitive response is possible due to the presence of a redox conducting polymer based on the Bismarck Brown Y dye (poly(azo-BBY)). In addition to the azo-polymer, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were formed in the polymer film by encapsulation to increase the active surface area and enhance sensor performance. The platform was easily synthesized using a single-step electropolymerization technique in a solution containing the BBY monomer and HAuCl4 salt. The immunosensor was developed by simply immobilizing the 5-methylcytosine antibody (Ab-5-mC) with high affinity to 5mC on the surface of a device coated with azo-polymer-AuNPs dots. No secondary antibodies or enzymes were used in constructing this device. The immunosensor performance was evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in different concentrations of 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) in 0.10 mol L-1 phosphate buffer solution (PBS) solution containing atmospheric oxygen. A calibration curve was obtained by varying the resistance of the system as a function of the 5-mC concentration, revealing a limit of detection (LOD) in picograms per milliliter.
