Highly sensitive detection of epidermal growth factor receptor in lung cancer cells by aptamer-based target-/probe-mediated cyclic signal amplification

Abstract

We develop an antibody-free fluorescence method for the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) assay using aptamer-based target-/probe-mediated cyclic signal amplification. The method is highly sensitive with a detection limit of 0.16 fM, and it can be applied to detect EGFR in lung cancer cells, holding great potential in clinical diagnosis.
