| Summary: | The authors describe a disposable electrochemical
immunosensor strip for the detection of the Japanese encephalitis
virus (JEV). The assay is based on the use of a screen
printed carbon electrode (SPCE) modified with carbon nanoparticles
(CNPs) that were prepared from starch nanoparticles
and deposited on the SPCE working electrode whose surface
was functionalized with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane. Next,
antibody of JEV was immobilized on the surfaces of the
CNPs. The analytical performance of immunosensor strip
was characterized using cyclic voltammetry (with
hexacyanoferrate as the redox probe) and electrochemical
impedance spectroscopy. The deposition of CNPs
enhances the electron transfer kinetics and current intensity
of the SPCE by 63% compared to an unmodified
SPCE. Under optimized conditions, the calibration plot
is linear within the 5–20 ng·mL−1 JEV concentration range,
the limit of detection being 2 ng·mL−1 (at an S/N ratio of 3),
and the assay time is 20 min. This immunosensor strip was
successfully applied to the detection of JEV in human serum
samples. It represents a cost-effective alternative to conventional
diagnostic tests for JEV. |
