A Reusable Interface Constructed by 3‐Aminophenylboronic Acid‐Functionalized Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes for Cell Capture, Release, and Cytosensing

Abstract

A newly developed electrochemical cell sensor for the determination of K562 leukemia cells using 3‐aminophenylboronic acid (APBA)‐functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) films is demonstrated. The films are generated by the covalent coupling between the NH2 groups in APBA and the COOH group in the acid‐oxidized MWCNTs. As a result of the sugar‐specific affinity interactions, the K562 leukemia cells are firmly bound to the APBA‐functionalized MWCNTs film via boronic acid groups. Compared to electropolymerized APBA films, the presence of MWCNTs not only provides abundant boronic acid domains for cell capture, their high electrical conductivity also makes the film suitable for electrochemical sensing applications. The resulting modified electrodes are tested as cell detection sensors. This work presents a promising platform for effective cell capture and constructing reusable cytosensors.

Noncovalent Assembly of Picket‐Fence Porphyrin on Carbon Nanotubes as Effective Peroxidase‐Like Catalysts for Detection of Hydrogen Peroxide in Beverages

“…Compared with the MWNTs, the relatively increased intensity of the disorder mode suggested the disruptions of the hexagonal framework of MWNTs [44,45]. The bands in the MWCNTs/FeTpivPP spectra only slightly red-shifts to around 1364 cm À1 and 1588 cm À1 (curve b, Figure 2A), respectively, which could be associated with FeTpivPP bound to the MWNTs.…”

Discrimination and detection of bacteria with a label-free impedimetric biosensor based on self-assembled lectin monolayer

“…For instance, nanoparticles biomimetic interfaces have been employed to immobilize living cells, which allows adsorption based on electrostatic force or weak interaction between nanoparticles and cells membrane [6][7][8][9]. Antibodies, functional peptides, such as arginine-glycine-aspartic acid-serine (RGDS) tetrapeptide, have been used to functionalize electrode for capturing cells via the specific binding between these molecules and cellular surface units [10][11][12][13]. Moreover, aptamer-based interface has also been used for enrichment and detection of multiple cancer cells [14].…”
