Abstract

A novel electrochemical biosensor is described for detection of breakpoint cluster region gene and a cellular abl (BCR/ABL) fusion gene in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) by using thiolated-hairpin locked nucleic acids (LNA) as the capture probe. The hairpin LNA probe was immobilized on the nanogold (NG)/poly-eriochrome black T (EBT) film-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The immobilized LNA probe could selectively hybridize with its target DNA on LNA/NG/EBT/GCE surface. The immobilization and hybridization of the LNA probe were characterized with cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The hybridization of the immobilized LNA probe with the target DNA was detected by differential pulse voltammetry with the electroactive methylene blue as an indicator. The results indicated this new method has excellent specificity for single-base mismatch and complementary after hybridization, and a high sensitivity. This novel electrochemical biosensor has been used for assay of PCR real sample with satisfactory result.
