Electrogenerated chemiluminescence. 72. Determination of immobilized DNA and C-reactive protein on Au(111) electrodes using tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) labels.
Anodic electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) with tri-n-propylamine (TPrA) as a coreactant was used to determine DNA and C-reactive protein (CRP) by immobilizations on Au(111) electrodes using tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) (Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)) labels. A 23-mer synthetic single-stranded (ss) DNA derived from the Bacillus anthracis with an amino-modified group at the 5' end position was covalently attached to the Au(111) substrate precoated with a self-assembled thiol monolayer of 3-mercaptopropanoic acid (3-MPA) in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDAC) and then hybridized with a target ssDNA tagged with Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) ECL labels. Similarly, biotinylated anti-CRP species were immobilized effectively onto the Au(111) substrate precovered with a layer of avidin linked covalently via the reaction between avidin and a mixed thiol monolayer of 3-MPA and 16-mercaptohexadecanoic acid on Au(111) in the presence of EDAC and N-hydroxysuccinimide. CRP and anti-CRP tagged with Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) labels were then conjugated to the surface layer. ECL responses were generated from the modified electrodes described above by immersing them in a TPrA-containing electrolyte solution. A series of electrode treatments, including blocking free -COOH groups with ethanol amine, pinhole blocking with bovine serum albumin, washing with EDTA/NaCl/Tris buffer, and spraying with inert gases, were used to reduce the nonspecific adsorption of the labeled species. The ECL peak intensity was linearly proportional to the analyte CRP concentration over the range 1-24 microg/mL. CRP concentrations of two unknown human plasma/serum specimens were measured by the standard addition method based on this technique.
