Abstract
Zika virus is a highly infectious virus that is part of the flavivirus group. Precise diagnosis of the Zika virus is significant issue for controlling a global pandemic after the COVID-19 era. For the first time, we describe a zika virus aptamer-based electrical biosensor for detecting Zika virus in human serum. The electrical biosensor composed of a Zika virus aptamer/MXene nanoparticle heterolayer on Au micro-gap electrode (AuMGE)/print circuit board (PCB) system. The Zika virus aptamer was designed to bind the envelope protein of the Zika virus by systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) technique. The binding affinity of the aptamer was determined by fluorescence. For improving the sensor signal sensitivity, Ti3C2Tx MXene was introduced to surface of Au micro-gap electrode (AuMGE). The immobilization process was confirmed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The prepared aptamer/MXene immobilized on AuMGE can detect the Zika virus through capacitance change according to the target concentration. The capacitance signal from the biosensor increased linearly according to increment of envelope proteins in the human serum. The limit of detection was determined to 38.14 pM, and target proteins could be detected from 100 pM to 10 μM. Thus, the developed electrical aptabiosensor can be a useful tool for Zika virus detection.
