研究目的
To develop a biosensor for detecting alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patient plasma using a graphene field-effect transistor (G-FET) for early diagnosis of HCC.
研究成果
The G-FET biosensor successfully detected AFP in human plasma from HCC patients, demonstrating its potential for early and point-of-care medical diagnosis of tumor markers. The biosensor's ability to quantitatively detect AFP in HCC patient plasma suggests practical applications in diagnostics.
研究不足
The G-FET could not detect AFP at a concentration of 2.8 ng mL?1 in HCC patient plasma, likely due to the additional washing process disrupting the anti-AFP-AFP binding interaction. The sensitivity in HCC patient plasma was lower than in PBS.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized a graphene field-effect transistor (G-FET) functionalized with 1-pyrenebutyric acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (PBASE) for the immobilization of an anti-AFP antibody. The detection of AFP was based on the shift in the voltage of the Dirac point (?VDirac) after AFP binding.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Human plasma samples from HCC patients were used, with AFP concentrations verified at Keimyung University School of Medicine. AFP was also detected in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) solution for comparison.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
G-FET biosensor, PBASE, anti-AFP antibody, AFP, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), bovine serum albumin (BSA), and large-sized graphene on a PET substrate.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The G-FET was functionalized with PBASE, followed by anti-AFP antibody immobilization. AFP detection was performed by measuring the shift in the Dirac point voltage after AFP binding in PBS and HCC patient plasma.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The sensitivity of the G-FET biosensor was evaluated by assessing the shift in the Dirac point voltage (?VDirac). The dissociation constant (KD) for the anti-AFP and AFP interaction was estimated using the Langmuir equation.
