We have developed a nanotube-based colorimetric probe using multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), anti-immunoglobulin G (anti-IgG), and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The probe was used as an alternative to conventional colorimetric conjugates to obtain amplified signals in a sandwich-type immunoassay for ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), a potential biomarker for radiation doses and cancers. Results show that the MWNT-based probe colorimetry was 5000 times more sensitive than a conventional ELISA, while its concentration range was 10 000 times wider than that of the latter. Its limit of detection (LOD) was 0.2, fg/mL (54 aM, similar to 32 molecules in 1 mu L samples). Control experiments showed that detection of ATM molecules at the picogram-level could still be achieved in samples that contained protein makers present at more than 100 times the ATM concentration, demonstrating the high specificity of the technique. The MWNT-based probe also has the potential to become a universal probe for colorimetric assays of most protein markers because it can recognize the associated rabbit polyclonal antibodies.
