Abstract

Self‐assembled nanostructures have been used for the detection of numerous cancer biomarkers. In this study, a gold‐upconversion‐nanoparticle (Au‐UCNP) pyramid based on aptamers is fabricated to simultaneously detect thrombin and prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) using surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and fluorescence, respectively. The higher the concentration of thrombin, the lower the intensity of SERS. PSA connected with the PSA aptamer leads to an increase in fluorescence intensity. The limit of detection of thrombin and PSA reaches 57 × 10−18 and 0.032 × 10−18m, respectively. In addition, the pyramid also exhibits great target specificity. The results of human serum target detection demonstrate that the Au‐UCNP pyramid is an excellent choice for the quantitative determination of cancer biomarkers, and is feasible for the early diagnosis of cancer.
