Porous Silicon Biosensor for the Detection of Transgenic Cotton of Antifeezing Protein

Article Preview

Abstract:

Genetic engineering has been used extensively for improving cold resistance in plants. In this paper, an optical immunoassay was developed by the optic reflectance spectroscopy of the porous silicon biosensor to monitor the success of transgenic frost-resistant cotton. Transgenic cotton extract samples and anti- antifreeze protein (AFP) antibodies were employed as the target and probe, respectively. Porous silicon is functionalized by using oxidation and silanization, then anti- AFP antibodies were immobilized to the porous silicon pore used a crosslink method. The changes of reflectance spectrum before and after antigen-antibody react ion are observed. The results show that transgenic frost-resistant cotton extract samples caused obvious red shift in reflectance spectrum of porous silicon while common cotton was not. Control experiment with negative antibodies shows high specifcity and conventional ELASA and Western experiment were also carried for comparison. Compare to conventional ELASA and Western, porous silicon biosensor is quick and accurate determination for the detection of transgenic cotton of antifeezing protein.
