Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is considered as one of the most carcinogenic pollutants in cigarette smoke. The development of simple and sensitive BaP screening methods can help assess the risk of cigarette exposure to the human body rapidly. In this report, a rapid fluorescence immunoassay (RFIA) method for the detection of BaP is proposed, the core of which is the synthesis of bifunctional covalent antibody–DNA conjugates for target recognition and signal amplification. Based on the optimization of the SYBR Green I and PAH–BSA concentrations, as well as DNA–antibody immune complex's dilution in the RFIA system, a serial dilution of BaP was tested with this method. The results showed that the linear working range... More
