摘要： To assess low-abundance protein biomarkers associated with tumor progression, we have developed artificial catalytic antibodies based on well-defined metal clusters modified with rationally designed peptides, termed clusterbodies. Such clusterbodies possess favorable integrated features of matched ultrasmall sizes, intrinsic fluorescence, and enzyme-like catalytic and selective recognition properties that are inaccessible to traditional antibodies. Consequently, a quantitative assay with high accuracy and high sensitivity is established by measuring the fluorescence and catalytic chemiluminescence of metal clusters preferentially recognizing the protein biomarker, which is confirmed by the molecular-weight marker references of immunoblotting. The results of quantitative immunoblotting are highly close to that derived from the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, implying the reliability of this protocol. Remarkably, the detection limit of the aimed protein achieved is as low as 1.0 pg, one magnitude lower than that of the conventional immunoassay. The significant variation of expression levels of the biomarker in tumor cells evidently indicates their distinguished invasion ability. This platform has potential application in analyzing low-abundance protein biomarkers in complex biological matrixes, which is essential to corroborate tumor malignancy in early stage. It inspires the construction of clusterbody-based precise bioprobes with customized structures and integrative functions for advanced quantitative biosensing.
