Highly sensitive and cost-effective ITO-based immunosensor system modified by 11-CUTMS: Analysis of SOX2 protein in real human serum


Published in International Journal of Biological Macromolecules 2019

Abstract

In this study it is aimed to construct an immunosensor system for detection of Sex-determining region Y-box 2 (SOX2) antigen by using Indium tin oxide- polyethylene terephthalate (ITO-PET) as working electrode. Firstly, ITO-PET electrode surfaces were hydroxylated by using NH4OH/H2O2/H2O and were incubated with 11-cyanoundecyltrimethoxysilane (11-CUTMS), respectively. After silanization process, anti- SOX2 was immobilized on modified ITO-PET electrodes. All immobilization processes were examined with Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Cyclic voltammetry (CV). The basic parameters such as 11-CUTMS and anti-SOX2 concentrations, anti-SOX2 and SOX2 incubation period were optimized. The immunosensor prepared under optimal conditions gave a response for a wide concentration range of SOX2 protein (0.02 pg mL?1
