Abstract

To meet the highly demanding challenge for detecting protein biomarkers at pg/mL level in highprotein sera sample, the coupling of paramagnetic nanoparticle technology with aptamer-PQC biosensor was attempted for developing aptamer-PQC biosensor for selective detection of SCV helicase protein produced from SARS CoV replication. The coupling of aptamer coated paramagnetic nanoparticles for sample pretreatment to aptamer-PQC biosensor has shown to detect helicase protein in one-minute assay with a detection limit of 3.5 ng/mL. The aptamer-coated crystal exhibits a frequency shift linearly proportional to the concentration of SARS helicase from 0.05 to 1 μg/mL with a correlation coefficient of 0.9975 and a repeatability of 6.8% (%RSD, n=3). After the enrichment procedure, recoveries of 102% and 119% were achieved using samples spiked with SARS helicase at concentrations of 10 ng/mL and 1.0 ng/mL respectively. It is the first report to detect for SCV helicase protein using PQC biosensor at pg/mL level after magnetic bead enrichment.
