Zusammenfassung:Among biosensing systems for sensitive diagnoses fluorescence enhancement techniques have attracted considerable attention. This study constructed a simple multilayered structure comprising a plane metal mirror coated with a plasma-polymerized film (PPF) as an optical interference layer on a glass slide for fluorescence enhancement. Plasma polymerization enables the easy deposition of organic thin films containing functional groups, such as amino groups. This study prepared PPFs using acetonitrile as a monomer, and the influences of washing and the output powers of plasma polymerization on PPF thickness were examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. This is because controlling the PPF thickness is vital in fluorescence enhancement. Multilayered glass slides prepared using a silver layer with 84 nm-thick acetonitrile PPFs exhibited 11- and 281-fold fluorescence enhancements compared with those obtained from the substrates with a bare surface and only modified by the silver layer, respectively. Oligonucleotides labeled with a thiol group and cyanine5 were successfully immobilized on the multilayered substrates, and the fluorescence of the acetonitrile PPFs was superior to that of the allylamine and cyclopropylamine PPFs. Furthermore, an aptamer-based sandwich assay targeting thrombin was performed on the multilayered glass slides, resulting in an approximately 5.1-fold fluorescence enhancement compared with that obtained from the substrate with a bare surface. Calibration curves revealed the relationship between fluorescence intensity and thrombin concentration of 10-1000 nM. This study demonstrates that PPFs can function as materials for fluorescence enhancement, immobilization for biomaterials, and aptamer-based sandwich assays. Aptamer-based sandwich assay with enhanced fluorescence intensity is achieved using multilayered glass slides modified by plasma polymerization technique.
