Turn-on near-infrared electrochemiluminescence sensing of thrombin based on resonance energy transfer between CdTe/CdS coresmall/shellthick quantum dots and gold nanorods.
    Biosensors & bioelectronics, 2016, Aug-15, Volume: 82

    Here we designed a near-infrared electrochemiluminescence (NECL) aptasensor for turn-on ultrasensitive determination of thrombin. It was based on the ECL resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) of CdTe/CdS coresmall/shellthick quantum dots (QDs) to gold nanorods (AuNRs). AuNRs which functioned as ECL acceptors were assembled onto CdTe/CdS film by DNA hybridization between aptamers and their complementary oligonucleotides. In the absence of thrombin, the NECL of QDs was quenched as a result of the ECL-RET of QDs to AuNRs. In the presence of thrombin, the NECL of the system was "turned on" because thrombin can replace the AuNRs onto the QDs film, owing to the specific aptamer-protein affinity interactions. In this way, the increment of ECL intensity and the concentration of thrombin showed a logarithmic linear correlation in the range of 100 aM to 10 fM with a detection limit of 31 aM (S/N=3). Importantly, the developed aptasensor was successfully applied to thrombin sensing in real serum samples.

A sensitive electrochemiluminescent aptasensor based on perylene derivatives as a novel co-reaction accelerator for signal amplification.
    Biosensors & bioelectronics, 2016, Nov-15, Volume: 85

    Herein, a novel signal amplification strategy was designed using the perylene derivative as the co-reaction accelerator toward graphene-CdTe quantum dots (G-CdTe)/S2O8(2-) system to construct a highly sensitive electrochemiluminescent (ECL) aptasensor for thrombin (TB) detection. Firstly, the G-CdTe nanocomposites were prepared by one-step method of in situ generating CdTe quantum dots onto the surface of the graphene oxide by using 3-mercaptopropionic acid as the CdTe QDs stabilizer. Then, a kind of perylene derivative (PTC-Lys), was synthesized by covalently binding L-lysine to 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid, which was further immobilized onto the G-CdTe by the π-π* stacking and cross-linked the detection thrombin aptamer (TBA II) to obtain the TBA II/PTC-Lys/G-CdTe signal probes. It is worth pointing out that PTC-Lys acting as an efficient co-reaction accelerator interacted with the co-reactant of S2O8(2-) rather than G-CdTe to promote the more oxidant mediators of SO4(•-), which could further react with G-CdTe to produce excited state species G-CdTe* for emitting light. Compared with the G-CdTe/S2O8(2-) ECL system, our proposed strategy with the introduction of co-reaction accelerator of PTC-Lys exhibited ultra-high sensitivity to quantify the concentration of TB from 1.0×10(-7)nM to 10nM with a detection limit of 34aM.

Label-free sensing of thrombin based on quantum dots and thrombin binding aptamer.
    Talanta, 2013, Mar-30, Volume: 107

    A facile and sensitive label-free approach for detection of thrombin based on CdTe quantum dots (QDs) and thrombin binding aptamer (TBA) is presented. The crude QDs can be "activated" with fluorescence enhancement by adding extra Cd(2+) to the solution in basic medium. As a result, the positively charged Cd(2+)-activating CdTe QDs could interact with the negatively charged TBA, leading to fluorescence quenching. When thrombin was added, TBA was induced to form a G-quadruplex structure and combined specifically with its target, releasing the QDs with a recovery of the fluorescence intensity. The sensing approach is based on the strongly specific interactions between TBA and thrombin over the electrostatic interactions between TBA and positively charged QDs. Based on the fluorescence enhancement of QDs, selective detection of thrombin was successfully achieved. A linear response for thrombin was observed in the range from 1.4 nM to 21 nM with a detection limit of 0.70 nM.
