Addition of fibrinogen to a solution of Au NPs (average diameter: 56 nm) led to ready conjugation, forming Fib-Au NPs through electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. Introduction of thrombin (a serine protease) into the Fib-Au NPs solutions in the presence of excess fibrinogen induced the formation of insoluble fibrillar fibrin-Au NPs agglutinates through the polymerization of the unconjugated and conjugated fibrinogen. After centrifugation, the absorbance at 532 nm of the supernatants decreased upon increasing the concentration of thrombin. This Fib-Au NP probe provides high sensitivity [limit of detection (LOD): 0.04 pM] for thrombin, with remarkable selectivity over other proteins and proteases. The range of linearity for the absorbance against the thrombin concentration was 0.1-10 pM (R2 = 0.96). This approach provides an LOD for thrombin that is lower than those obtainable using other nanomaterial- and aptamer-based detection methods. We validated the utility of this Fib-Au NP probe through separate analyses of thrombin and Factor Xa at picomolar levels in plasma samples-without the need for sample pretreatment. This technique appears to have practical potential in the diagnosis of diseases associated with coagulation abnormalities and cancers (e.g., pulmonary metastasis). ? 2010 Elsevier B.V.
