- Description
- A method is presented for the electrochemical detection of the breast cancer biomarker human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). A glassy carbon electrode was modified using two techniques known as sequential adsorption and electro-polymerization, and the results are compared. The highly conductive polypyrrole (PPy) is used, in the presence of sulfur/nitrogen doped graphene quantum dots (SNGQDs) and a known cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc). The different nanomaterials were used as an immobilization platform for the HER2 specific HB5 aptamer via amide linkage. The nanomaterials were arranged in various ways on the glassy carbon electrode, to investigate the effect of the electrode interface on the operational characteristics of a biosensor. The immobilized aptamer selectively recognizes HER2 on the electrode interface, and this leads to an increased charge transfer resistance (Rct) of the electrode when using ferricyanide as the electrochemical probe. The developed immunosensors showed high sensitivity with the best detection limit of 0.00141 ng/mL. The results showed that the method is simple and sensitive enough for the determination of HER2 in serum samples with good reproducibility and accuracy.
