• 摘要：Herein, an electrochemical immunosensor capable of detecting targets in human serum with ultralow fouling and high sensitivity was successfully constructed through a click reaction. One designed biotinylated peptide was associated with the other peptide functionalized with biotin and azide groups at its two terminals, to form a branched antifouling peptide through the streptavidin-biotin affinity interaction, and it was attached to the electrode to construct an antifouling interface. Then, the exposed azide group on the branched peptide was used to link the antibody modified with 5'-dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO), and the immunosensor was thus constructed with the aid of the click reaction between the azide group and the DBCO. The developed antifouling immunosensor demonstrated a wide linear response range for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and a low limit of detection of 40 fg mL(-1), which is much superior to the sensing performance of the immunosensor prepared through the normal EDC/NHS method. The immunosensor was capable of assaying CEA in undiluted serum samples with satisfying accuracy when compared with a clinically approved method. This work offered an effective strategy to develop various biosensors through the conjugation of antifouling peptides with different antibodies.
