Sumario:In this study, a novel label-free immunosensor platform is developed to exploit the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) phenomenon. The LSPR solution-based platform is designed by a gold nanospheres probe, functionalized with monoclonal anti-dengue antibody (IgG). Numerical calculations are performed to assess the LSPR extinction spectrum and spatial near electric field distribution around the nanoparticle surface. Important parameters that govern sensor performance, molecular and refractive index sensitivity are evaluated. On the evaluation of the platform as a molecular sensor, the detection of dengue NS1 antigens is presented. The results are consistent with the numerical simulations, which depicts the system’s ability to identify dengue NS1 antigen concentrations as low as 0.07 ± 0.01 µg/mL, along with fosters its potential application in plasmonic sensing.
