In this work, a signal amplification supersandwich strategy was developed for highly selective and sensitive detection of cancer cells using aptamer-DNA concatamerquantum dots (QDs) probes. First of all, electrode materials denoted as MVVCNTs@PDA@AuNPs were fabricated by multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and polydopamine (PDA) using a layer-by-layer technique. Then, the prepared bases as matrices were applied to bind concanavalin A (Con A), resulting in high stability, bioactivity, and capability for cell capture. Meanwhile, aptamer-DNA concatamer-QDs were designed via DNA hybridization followed by covalent assembling, which incorporated the specific recognition of the aptamer with the signal amplification of the DNA concatamer and QDs. With aptamer-DNA concatamer-QDs as recognizing probes, the model cancer cells (CCRF-CEM cells) were detected using a MWCNTs@PDA@AuNPs modified electrode with trapped Con A by means of fluorescence and electrochemical methods. The proposed supersandwich cytosensor showed high sensitivity with the detection limit of 50 cells mL(-1). More importantly, it could distinguish cancer cells from normal cells, which indicated the promising applications of our method in clinical diagnosis and treatment of cancers.
