Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube-Graphene Nanosheet-Chitosan-1-Butyl-3-Methylimidazolium Hexafluorophosphate Nanocomposites and Gold Nanoparticle-Thionine for Electrochemical Detection of Cytomegalovirus Phosphoprotein
Abstract:We describe a sensitive and selective electrochemical immunosensor for the determination of the PP65 phosphoprotein antigen. A screen-printed carbon electrode was modified with a nanocomposite made from multiwalled carbon nanotubes, graphene nanosheets, chitosan and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate. Gold nanoparticles were immobilized on the modified electrode and incorporated into layers of the polymeric redox mediator thionine. Next, monoclonal antibodies against PP65 were immobilized on the s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
