In this work, a new photoelectrochemical (PEC) cytosensor was constructed by using cationic polyfluorene derivative, poly(9,9-bis(6'-(N,N,N,-trirnethylammonium)hexyl)fluorene-co-alt-1,4-phenylene)bromide (PFP) as the photoelectric-responsive material for sensitive cell detection. Positive-charged PFP with high photoelectric conversion efficiency can generate robust photocurrent under light illumination. In the PEC cytosensor, 3-phosphonopropionic acid was linked to the indium tin oxide electrode, followed by modification with antiepithelial-cell-adhesion-molecule (EpCAM) antibody via amide condensation reaction. Thus, target SKBR-3 cells with overexpressed EpCAM antigen could be captured onto the electrode via the specific antibody antigen interactions. Upon adding cationic PFP, a favorable electrostatic interaction between cationic PFP and negatively charged cell membrane led to a turn-on detection signal for target SKBR-3 cells. This new cytosensor not only exhibits good sensitivity because of the good photoelectric performance of conjugated polymers, but also offers decent selectivity to target cells by taking advantage of the specific antibody antigen recognition.
