Description
Summary:•Signal “on” and electrochemical immunosensing biosensor was fabricated.•MicroRNA was detected using this biosensor.•S9.6 antibody has high specificity and affinity to DNA:RNA hybrids.•ALP-IgG was used as enzymatic signal amplification.•The method holds a great promise for further investigation the role of microRNAs in phytohormone signaling transduction. In this work, we proposed a selective and sensitive biosensor for microRNA detection based on the high specificity and affinity of anti-DNA:RNA hybrids antibody (S9.6 antibody) and alkaline phosphatase catalytic signal amplification. Briefly, after the hybridization of probe DNA and the target microRNA, the S9.6 antibody can be captured on the electrode surface through antigen-antibody immunoreaction. Then, alkaline phosphatase labeled goat anti-mouse IgG (ALP-IgG) was further captured on the electrode surface through the specific recognition effect between the primary antibody and the secondary antibody. Finally, ALP catalyzed the hydrolysis reaction of p-nitrophenyl phosphate to generate p-nitrophenol, resulting in a electrochemical oxidation signal. The simple signal amplification assay performed a successful linear range from 0.5-500fM with a detection limit of 0.40fM. Moreover, this biosensor exhibited high selectivity with discriminating only single-base mismatched microRNA sequence. Additionally, the simplicity of this method hold a great promise for further investigation of the role of microRNAs in phytohormone signaling transduction.
