Figure Lengend Snippet: Optimization of the different experimental variables involved in the preparation of the electrochemical immunosensor for iFABP. Dependence of the amperometric responses measured in the absence (light purple, N) or in the presence (dark purple, S) of 1 ng mL −1 iFABP standards and the resulting signal-to-blank ratio (red lines, S/N) with the following: anti-iFABP concentration and incubation time ( A , B ); BSA concentration and incubation time ( C , D ); incubation time for iFABP standard ( E ); concentration of Biotin-anti-iFABP and incubation time ( F , G ); dilution of nanocomposite V 2 O 5 /MWCNTs/HRP-Strep ( H ). Unless otherwise specified, the concentration of iFABP used in the time-dependent panels ( B , D , E , G ) was fixed at 1 ng mL −1 . The background signal (N) arises from the intrinsic electrochemical activity of the nanocomposite and nonspecific adsorption processes, as confirmed by control experiments in the absence of antigen. After each incubation step, electrodes were rinsed with PBS to remove unbound species and minimize nonspecific contributions. Incubation time = 20 min. Error bars estimated as triple of the standard deviation of three replicates.
Article Snippet: Anti-iFABP capture antibody, human iFABP standard, and biotinylated anti-iFABP detection antibody were obtained from the FABP2/iFABP DuoSet ELISA kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA, Cat. No. DY3078).
