Abstract
A novel genosensor was developed for rotavirus specific cDNA sequence detection. The genosensor was comprised of hierarchical flower-like gold nanostructures, MXene, and polypyrrole (HFGNs/MXene/PPY) nanocomposite as a signal amplification tag, specific antisense ssDNA oligonucleotide as a recognition bioelement, and methylene blue (MB) as a redox marker. The morphological and electrochemical features of the biosensor were first tested and optimized and the high performance of the platform was confirmed in terms of sensitivity and reproducibility. Then, 20 rotavirus RNA isolated from clinical and cell-cultured samples (10 positive and 10 negative confirmed by RT-PCR and electrophoresis methods) were evaluated by the genosensor. The analysis results revealed that the genosensor is able to differentiate successfully between the positive and negative control groups. The developed genosensor for rotavirus RNA detection presented an excellent limit of detection of ∼ 0.8 aM and a determination range of 10−18 and 10−7 M. In addition, the ssDNA/HFGNs/MXene/PPY/GCE showed high selectivity and long-term stability of ~ 24 days. Therefore, this novel genosensor would be of great benefit for the clinical diagnosis of rotavirus.
