An Electrochemical Biosensing Platform for the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Antibody Detection Based on the Functionalised SARS-CoV-2 Spike Antigen Modified Electrode.

ABSTRACT: We developed an electrochemical biosensing platform using gold-clusters, cysteamine, the spike protein of the severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) antigen and bovine serum albumin on a glassy carbon electrode able to determine the SARS-CoV-2 spike antibody. The developed biosensor could detect 9.3 ag/mL of the SARS-CoV-2 spike antibody in synthetic media in 20 min in a linear range from 0.1 fg/mL to 10.0 pg/mL. The developed method demonstrated good selectivity in the presence of spike antigens from other viruses. Clinical samples consisting of gargle and mouthwash liquids were analyzed with both RT-PCR and the developed biosensor system to reveal the sensitivity and specificity of the proposed method. Moreover, the developed method was compared with the lateral flo
