This invention relates to the field of biodetection technology, providing a logic-gated
nanogel probe for live
cell typing and its preparation method. The invention uses a
thermosensitive polymer nanogel as a carrier, with its surface covalently modified with an
antibody that specifically binds to the EGFR L858R
mutant protein and
a peptide nucleic acid that specifically binds to miR-21. Internally, it encapsulates a self-quenched fluorescent dye. The probe employs an AND logic gating design, triggering gel network dissociation and dye release to generate a fluorescent
signal only when it simultaneously recognizes the EGFR L858R
protein on the
cell surface and captures miR-21 within the
cell. This invention solves the problems of high false positive rates in existing single-target detection methods and the inability of traditional
liquid biopsy techniques to perform simultaneous
genotype-
phenotype analysis in situ on live cells. It achieves highly specific and sensitive in situ interpretation of circulating
tumor cells, and has significant application value in the field of precision diagnosis and
treatment of lung cancer.
