Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been frequently utilized for the construction of diverse colorimetric biosensors. Normally, AuNPs with sharp edges could have better sensitivity. However, the poor monodipersity of AuNPs with sharp edges seriously confines their utility for colorimetric biosensing. Herein, we demonstrate the utility of highly uniform gold nanobipyramids (Au NBPs) for ultrasensitive colorimetric detection of H5N1 virus. The proposed method is based on the fact that alkaline phosphatase (ALP) could catalyze the decomposition of 4-aminophenyl phosphate (4-APP) to generate 4-aminophenol (4-AP), which would then reduce silver nitrate to metal silver and then deposited on Au NBPs. The metal silver shell coated on the Au NBPs changed the refractive index of gold and thus resulted in a blue shift of longitudinal localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and accompanied a vivid color change. This method exhibited a higher sensitivity than that of other Au NPs such as gold nanorods due to the high-index-faceted on the tips of the Au NBPs. This method was used to detect the activity of ALP. It exhibited a linear range of 0.1–5 mU/mL with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.086 mU/mL. Finally, the proposed method was used in immunoassay to detect H5N1 virus. The results showed that the corresponding linear range for the detection of H5N1 virus antigen was 0.001–2.5 ng/mL, and the LOD was determined to be 1 pg/mL, which is more sensitive than those in most of the colorimetric biosensors reported previously.
金纳米粒子(AuNPs)经常被用于构建各种比色生物传感器。通常情况下,边缘锐利的 AuNPs 具有更好的灵敏度。然而,边缘锋利的 AuNPs 单分散性较差,严重限制了其在比色生物传感中的应用。在此,我们展示了高度均匀的金纳米双锥体(Au NBPs)在超灵敏比色检测 H5N1 病毒中的应用。我们提出的方法是基于碱性磷酸酶(ALP)能催化 4- 氨基苯基磷酸(4-APP)分解生成 4- 氨基苯酚(4-AP),然后将硝酸银还原成金属银并沉积在金纳米双金字塔上。镀在金 NBPs 上的金属银外壳改变了金的折射率,从而导致纵向局部表面等离子体共振(LSPR)蓝移,并伴随着鲜艳的颜色变化。与金纳米棒等其他金纳米粒子相比,由于金 NBPs 顶端的高折射率面,这种方法具有更高的灵敏度。该方法用于检测 ALP 的活性。其线性范围为 0.1-5 mU/mL,检出限(LOD)为 0.086 mU/mL。最后,将所提出的方法用于免疫测定法检测 H5N1 病毒。结果表明,该方法检测 H5N1 病毒抗原的线性范围为 0.001-2.5 纳克/毫升,检测限为 1 皮克/毫升,灵敏度高于之前报道的大多数比色生物传感器。
