A simple and direct immunosensor for the determination of carp (Carassius auratus) vitellogenin (Vtg), a female-specific protein, has been proposed based on an antibody-captured conducting polymer-coated electrode. The monoclonal antibody specific to carp (C. auratus) Vtg was immobilized by covalent coupling to the carboxylic acid group on the polymer. The antibody immobilization and antibody-antigen interaction have been demonstrated by means of quartz crystal microbalance and impedance spectroscopic techniques. The impedance change occurred at the sensor surface due to the specific immuno-interaction was utilized to determine Vtg. The sensor showed high selectivity and sensitive response to Vtg in a buffered medium without redox probe. Vtg was determined in the linear range from 1.0 to 8.0 microg/l with the standard deviation of +/-0.13 (n =3) and the detection limit was determined to be 0.42 microg/l. This method was applied to the determination of Vtg in real male and female carp (C. auratus) serum samples.
