Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), as a tumor marker, plays a vital role in the diagnosis of liver cancer. In this work, a novel sandwich immunoassay based on a thermosensitive polymer, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), was developed for the detection of AFP. This immunoassay could realize one-step rapid reaction within 1 h, and facilitate the separation of the target molecules by incorporating PNIPAM. In this method, a conjugate of PNIPAM and capture antibody (Ab1) was successfully synthesized as a capture probe and the synthetic method of PNIPAM-Ab1 was simple, while the detection antibody (Ab2) was labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) to form a fluorescent detection probe. By employing a sandwich immunoassay, the method achieved quantitative determination of AFP, exhibiting a wide linear range from 5 ng/mL to 200 ng/mL and a low detection limit of 2.44 ng/mL. Furthermore, it was successfully applied to the analysis of spiked human serum samples and the screening of patients with hepatic diseases in clinical samples, indicating its potential application prospect in the diagnosis of liver cancer.
