A simple, sensitive SERS-based immunoassay realized in aqueous solution is demonstrated with a sandwich immune protocol. In such an immunoassay, antibodies-immobilized silica nanoparticles served as the immune substrate while 4MBA-labeled immuno-Au nanoparticles are used as the immune sensors. According to the TEM images, it is clear that the immune gold nanoparticles are embedded onto the surfaces of the silica nanoparticles specifically after the immunoreaction. As a result, the aggregations of gold nanoparticles have been formed with SERS-active "hot spots" on the dimers or multimers. The SERS results confirm that the method proposed in this paper is an effective way for SERS-based aqueous immunoassay and that the detection limit is as low as 0.1 ng/mL.

Gold nanoparticles have been found to greatly enhance the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) specificity and yield in recent studies. However, the underlying mechanism is still unclear, though different hypotheses have already been proposed. In this study, a mass-action based model has been developed to investigate the effect of Au nanoparticles on the two-round PCR results. The great affinity of Au nanoparticles to the single-stranded DNA is taken into consideration. Each nanoparticle is treated as a bioreactor and/or a selector, around which, reaction equations are coupled to simulate the particle effect, and to investigate the key parameters that might influence such an effect. It is assumed that there exists a competing mechanism between the specific and nonspecific bindings, both in the solution and on the particle surface during the reactions. The numerical predictions accord well to the experimental results, and can be used to explain the Au nanoparticles’ effect on the enhancement of the PCR specificity and efficiency.
