Ultrasensitive immunoassay based on a pseudobienzyme amplifying system of choline oxidase and luminol-reduced Pt@Au hybrid nanoflowers

Abstract

A multi-functional luminol-reduced Pt@Au hybrid flower-like nanocomposite (luminol–Pt@AuNF) which not only acts as an efficient signal probe but also constitutes a pseudobienzyme amplifying system with choline oxidase (ChOx) was firstly synthesized and applied to the construction of a solid-state luminol electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor for cardiac troponin I (cTnI) detection.
