Colorimetric Immunoassay for Detection of Tumor Markers

Abstract: Tumor markers are substances, usually proteins, produced by the body in response to cancer growth, or by the cancer tissue itself. They can be detected in blood, urine, or tissue samples, and the discovery and detection of tumor markers may provide earlier diagnosis of cancer and improved therapeutic intervention. Colorimetric immunoassays for tumor marker detection have attracted considerable attention, due to their simplicity and high efficiency. The traditionally used colorimetric immunoassays for the detec… Show more

“…The most commonly used biofluid biomarkers for cancer detection are specific proteins circulating in human blood, such as the alpha fetoprotein for liver cancer; chromogranin A for neuroendocrine tumors, especially carcinoid tumors; nuclear matrix protein 22 for bladder cancer; and carbohydrate antigen 125 for ovarian cancer [58]. Most of these blood proteins among others, are usually detected by various calorimetric and fluorescence immunoassays [59]. More accurate techniques for cancer detection are biopsy, endoscopy and radio-imaging tests such as PET-CT (positron emission computed tomography-computer tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) [59].…”

“…8 These traditional label-based immunoassays are often complicated, timeconsuming, with the high cost of labeling antibodies. As such, development of label-free immunodetection techniques is highly desired to reduce the cost of detection systems as well as to simplify cancer screening procedures.…”

“…Furthermore modified AgNPs with some specific linking groups (active chemical carboxyl and amino groups) for further covalently binding to antibodies or other biomolecules are commercially available 7,8 . New techniques that use specific modified AgNPs has several advantages such as rapid and safe approach to separate the target from other species, preventing the interference of non-specific proteins in immunoassays, easily detectable signals, simplifying the designed detection system, greater sensitivity and accuracy 9 . Despite on the great breakthrough of nanotechnology, modern sensing immunoassays has several disadvantages.…”
