In recent years, a series of fluorescence sensors constructed on the basis of MoS<sub>2</sub>NS fluorescence quenching property have become a research hotspot. Therefore, we can construct a fast and simple analysis method with high specificity to detect AFB<sub>1</sub> by utilizing MoS<sub>2</sub>NS, which can be effectively applied to food safety monitoring and clinical diagnosis. Method: In the current research, a fluorescence biosensor is developed on the basis of a new type of two-dimensional nano-material namely MoS<sub>2</sub>NS applied for the detection of AFB<sub>1</sub>. The fluorescence of Apt@AFB<sub>1</sub> can be quickly quenched by MoS<sub>2</sub>NS through the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). When the target molecule AFB<sub>1</sub> exists, after the specificity binding between AFB<sub>1</sub> and aptamer, the Apt@AFB<sub>1</sub> loses its single stranded structure and is away from MoS<sub>2</sub>NS, and the fluorescence of Apt®AFB<sub>1</sub> cannot be quenched effectively. Such sensing signals can be used to achieve the sensitive detection of AFB<sub>1</sub>. Result: With this new method, under the optimized conditions, the AFB<sub>1</sub> is analyzed in the MoS<sub>2</sub>NS/Apt®AFB<sub>1</sub> sensing platform. Within the dynamic range of 0.2 - 25 ng/mL, the sensing platform expresses a good linear response to the level of AFB<sub>1</sub> with the R<sup>2</sup> = 0.9964 and LOD as 90 pg/mL. This method is applied to detect the actual serum samples and soybean milk with the recovery rate of 93.10% - 107.23% and 95.15% - 102.60% separately, and it can be used in the quantitative detection under the interference of other mycotoxins in a relatively accurate way. Conclusion: It is proved that this new detection method can be used as a potential biosensor platform for the detection of AFB<sub>1</sub>. This detection method features several advantages such as specificity, rapidness and low costs, which can meet the requirement of trace detection in clinical detection and food safety.展开更多

Its level of secretion can reflect the immune response condition after the body is infected by pathogens, which is a significant indication of clinically-related diseases. Therefore, it is of great significance in application to develop a fluorescence biosensor to inspect INF-γ with rapidness, high sensitivity and high practicability. Method: The fluorescence sensor is made on the basis of the two-dimensional nano-material namely Carbon Nitride Nanosheet (CNNS) and the Aptamer probe to identify INF-γ (Apt®INF-γ). CNNS can quickly quench the Cy5 fluorescent dye modified on the Apt®INF-γ probe due to the Photoinduced Electron Transfer (PET), but when the INF-γ exists, Apt®INF-γ specifically identifies and combines it. The complex of Apt®INF-γ and INF-γ is away from CNNS, which can effectively block the fluorescent signal of Apt?INF-γ being quenched by CNNS. Result: The sensitive detection of IFN-γ protein can be achieved through the application of CNNS/Apt®INF-γ fluorescence sensing platform. In this method, the intensity of the fluorescent signal is positively correlated with the concentration of IFN-γ, of which the liner response range is 0.5 - 100 ng/mL and the limit of detection is 0.303 ng/mL. In addition, this fluorescence sensing platform has the advantages of high specificity, simple operation and low costs. It can inspect the content of IFN-γ in clinical serum samples without interference. The actual recovery rate of serum samples is 97.11% - 106.96%. Conclusion: Therefore, the CNNS/Apt®INF-γ sensing platform is expected to be implemented in the actual clinical detection, also conducive to developing a universal fluorescence biosensor to inspect other target materials.展开更多
