Integrated magneto-fluorescence nanobeads for ultrasensitive glycoprotein detection using antibody coupled boronate-affinity recognition

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Aug 22;55(69):10312-10315. doi: 10.1039/c9cc04902a.

Abstract

Herein, we report a novel magnet-mediated antibody-boronate sandwich-typed assay (ABSTA) strategy for the ultrasensitive, specific, rapid, and enzyme-free detection of glycoproteins in complex samples. The proposed ABSTA method exhibited ultrahigh sensitivity for HCG with a detection limit of 0.19 mIU mL-1, which is approximately 40-fold lower than that of conventional sandwich enzyme immunoassay.
