Abstract:
Development of accurate analytical protocols for cancer biomarkers is used for the initial prescreening of malignant tumors, disease surveillance, and efficacy assessment with significant clinical benefits. In this work, we reported a liposome-mediated signal-off photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunoassay for the sensitive detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) using ternary transition metal sulfide CuS/ZnCdS as the photoactive material. Good photocurrents were acquired on the basis of specific oxidation reaction of dopamine on the CuS/ZnCdS. The energy band relationship of CuS/ZnCdS was determined, and the well-matched oxidation potential of dopamine was verified. To achieve accurate recovery of low-abundance CEA, systematic PEC evaluation from human serum samples was performed by combining with classical immunoreaction and liposome-induced dopamine amplification strategy with high stability and selectivity. Under optimum conditions, PEC immunoassay displayed good photocurrent responses toward target CEA with a dynamic linear range of 0.1–50 ng/mL with a detection limit of 31.6 pg/mL. Importantly, this system by combining with a discussion of energy level matching between semiconductor energy bands and small-molecules opens a new horizon for development of high-efficient PEC immunoassays. © 2025
