In this study, for the first time, we have reported a fluorogenic reaction to prepare fluorescent silicon-containing polymer dots(Si-PDs) by simply mixing N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine(DAMO) and hydroquinone(HQ) in aqueous solution at ambient temperature. Inspired by the alkaline phosphatase(ALP)-catalyzed hydrolysis of the substrate sodium 4-hydroxyphenyl phosphate(4-HPP) into HQ and the resultant HQcontrolled intense green Si-PDs generation, we have established a straightforward ALP activity assay by innovatively employing commercially available 4-HPP as the substrate. More significantly, the specific preparation method, clear formation mechanism and excellent performance enable the Si-PDs as well as its generation process to develop facile and attractive FL immunoassay.With the help of the universal ALP-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) platform and corresponding antibody, a convenient and conceptual ALP-based fluorescent ELISA has been constructed and applied in sensing cardiac troponin Ⅰ(cTnI),a well-known biomarker of acute myocardial infarction. Our research via in situ formation of fluorescent nanomaterials has great potential application in ALP activity assay, inhibitor screening, and disease diagnosis.展开更多
