Dengue virus (DENV) is a reemerging mosquito-borne disease that is endemic in more than 125 countries, affecting 200 million people per year. Screening testing has been a good attempt to minimize the impact caused by high morbity and mortality rates of DENV. In this study, a simple and disposable label-free electrochemical immunosensor based on a carbon ink graphite screen-printed electrode (SPE) one-step fabricated was developed for detection of non-structural 1 protein (NS1). The SPE surface was modified by drop casting, depositing a colloidal suspension containing amine-functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNP-NH2). AuNPs were synthetized by a photoinduced physical method, illuminating preformed gold seeds with a light-emitting diode (LED,) at blue region, by using the polyethyleneimine (NH2) as reductor and stabilizing agent. UV-VIS spectroscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the amine AuNPs. Electrocatalytic activity of AuNPs allowed more sensitivity for a label-free detection of NS1 by square wave voltammetry (SWV), with linear response from 0.1 to 2 µg mL-1. It was found a good linearity (coefficient of correlation of 0.995 (p<0.01) and a limit of detection of 0.03 µg mL-1 NS1 for analytical responses. AuNP-NH2 synthesis provided an easy oriented immobilization of anti-NS1 antibodies by Fc portion, resulting in a simple fabrication immunosensor with relative high performance and feasibility for early diagnostic of DENV.

A label-free electrochemical biosensing strategy based on gold nanoparticle involved layer-by-layer self assembly for the detection of protein is proposed using platelet derived growth factor-BB dimer (PDGF-BB) as the model analyte. Utilizing the strong sulfur-Au affinity, ethanthiol and capture probe modified gold nanoparticles are self-assembled onto the surface of gold electrode successively. The aptamer probe for target protein hybridizes with the capture probe and the biosensor is fabricated. By measuring ac current voltammetry, the target protein can be sensitively detected in a linear dynamic range from 1-1000 ng/mL with a low detection limit of 0.5 ng/mL. Making use of self-assembled gold nanoparticles layer, a large amount of capture probes can be modified onto the gold electrode, supporting the high sensitivity of the proposed strategy. In addition, good reproducibility, high selectivity and stability are achieved. In particular, the biosensor can be easily regenerated by melting in hot water, making it reusable.
