Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biosensor fabrication technology, and relates to a method for fabricating a biosensor for detecting lactic acid and alpha-fetoprotein. Background Technology
[0002] Liver diseases have complex pathological mechanisms and unpredictable progression. Globally, over 844 million people suffer from chronic liver disease, and more than 2 million die from it annually. In many regions, the incidence of viral hepatitis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease continues to rise. Currently, there are no specific drugs to completely cure these diseases, making early diagnosis and control crucial. However, clinical methods for immediate detection of liver diseases suffer from long processing times, complex instrument operation, and high costs, reducing the efficiency of early disease screening. Furthermore, current clinical diagnostic methods for liver diseases often lack clear etiological or pathological information and have low sensitivity in detecting early fibrosis. Invasive examinations require biopsies, which carry risks of bleeding and infection. Currently, no ideal methods for detecting early biomarkers of liver disease have been reported. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention addresses the problems existing in the detection of traditional liver disease biomarkers by proposing a method for preparing a biosensor for detecting lactate and alpha-fetoprotein.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented using the following technical solution: A method for preparing a biosensor for detecting lactic acid and alpha-fetoprotein includes the following steps: (1) Add monolayer graphene oxide to N,N dimethylformamide and mix evenly. Add polyacrylonitrile and mix evenly. Then add dopamine hydrochloride to obtain the spinning solution.
[0005] (2) Nanofiber membranes are obtained after spinning the spinning solution.
[0006] (3) The nanofiber membrane was dried in a vacuum drying oven and then fixed on a gold electrode to obtain electrode P.
[0007] (4) Mix lactate oxidase and chitosan evenly to obtain an enzyme solution. Add the enzyme solution to the surface of electrode P. After drying, add antibody solution and dry again to obtain a sensing electrode. The antibody solution includes alpha-fetoprotein antibody, N-hydroxysuccinimide, and 1-ethyl(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride.
[0008] Preferably, in step (1), monolayer graphene oxide and N,N dimethylformamide are pulverized and mixed using a cell pulverizer; the mass ratio of monolayer graphene oxide to N,N dimethylformamide to polyacrylonitrile is 1:(800-1000):(70-120), and the molecular weight of polyacrylonitrile is 200,000-300,000.
[0009] Preferably, the positive voltage of spinning in step (2) is 17-19 kV and the negative voltage is -(3-5) kV.
[0010] Preferably, the concentration of lactate oxidase in the enzyme solution is 1000-3000 U·mL. -1 The concentration of alpha-fetoprotein antibody in the antibody solution is 0.5-1.5 mg / mL; the amount of lactate oxidase added to the working electrode is 10-100 μL•cm-2, and the amount of AFP antibody added is 0.3-0.7 ng•cm-2.
[0011] 5. The application of the biosensor prepared by any one of claims 1-4 in the detection of lactic acid and alpha-fetoprotein.
[0012] This invention utilizes polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and graphene oxide (GO) to construct nanofiber membranes, achieving a balance between electrocatalysis and membrane separation functions. PAN is easily spun into nanofibers, forming a three-dimensional network structure with high porosity, suitable for separating blood cells. Simultaneously, the spun PAN possesses a large specific surface area, providing ample space for loading lactate oxidase and AFP antibodies. The addition of GO increases conductivity, delays the coagulation time of real blood samples on the membrane surface, and improves the membrane's mechanical strength and negative charge, preventing the adsorption of large protein molecules from the blood onto the membrane surface. Dopamine (DA) exhibits good biocompatibility and low toxicity in cell experiments. The biosensor prepared using PAN / GO-DA nanofibers for the simultaneous detection of lactate and alpha-fetoprotein demonstrates excellent biocompatibility and high accuracy in the detection of real blood samples.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention uses PAN / GO-DA nanofiber membranes as electrode materials. By controlling the amount of dopamine added, the pore size and fiber diameter of the nanofiber membrane are adjusted to obtain a nanofiber membrane with suitable pore size and fiber diameter. This membrane is then used to prepare a sensor for the simultaneous detection of lactic acid and alpha-fetoprotein, and it exhibits high performance in the detection of real samples.
[0014] 2. It exhibits a wide detection range for both lactic acid and alpha-fetoprotein, and the preparation process is simple and low-cost, making it suitable for large-scale production to achieve accurate real-time detection of lactic acid and alpha-fetoprotein in the human body.

[0022] The performance of the sensors prepared in each embodiment was tested as follows.
[0023] 1. Linear range test of lactic acid and alpha-fetoprotein concentrations.
[0024] Using the biosensor for detecting lactic acid and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) prepared in Example 1, the changes in lactic acid concentration and AFP levels were tested using a constant current (IT) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) method with a Shanghai Chenhua CHI660E electrochemical workstation. PBS electrolyte (pH 7.0) was used in the electrolytic cell. After each sampling, 40 μL of sample was added to 40 mL of electrolyte for detection. The concentration of the sample was calculated using a standard curve after detection. The sensor prepared in Example 1 showed a linear range of 0.5-25 mM for lactic acid and 10 fg-100 ng for AFP. After storing the sensor in a refrigerator at 4°C for 30 days, its steady-state response current still maintained more than 85% of the initial sensitivity, indicating that the prepared biosensor for detecting lactic acid and AFP has good stability.
[0025] 2. Accuracy Verification Using the standard addition method, samples were added to the electrolyte to obtain electrolytes of different concentrations of lactic acid (sample AD) and alpha-fetoprotein (sample EH) for testing. The sensors prepared in Example 1 were used for detection (test values). The detected values were compared with the actual concentrations to verify the accuracy of the biosensor prepared in Example 1. The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2 below.
