In the present work, a novel label-free chemiluminescent (CL) immunoassay method was designed by employing smart CuS nanoparticles (CuSNPs) as peroxidase mimetics. The CuSNPs were synthesized through a simple coprecipitation method, and showed high catalytic activity and stability. This efficient label-free CL immunoassay could be easily achieved through a simple strategy. First, CuSNPs dispersed in chitosan were modified on the epoxy-functionalized glass slide to form a solid CL signal interface. Streptavidin was then used to functionalize CuSNPs to capture the biotinylated antibody, further producing a sensing interface. After online incubation with antigen molecules, the formed antibody–antigen complex on the biosensing substrate could prevent the diffusion channel of CL substrate toward the signal interface, and restrained the mimic enzyme-catalyzed CL reaction, finally resulting in the decrease of CL signals of the assay system. Compared to the label-based CL immunoassay, the proposed label-free assay mode is more simple, cheap and fast. Using a model analyte alpha-fetoprotein, the label-free CL immunoassay method had a linear range of 0.1–60 ng/mL and a low detection limit of 0.07 ng/mL. Moreover, the peroxidase mimetic-based label-free CL immunoassay system showed good specificity, acceptable repeatability, and good accuracy. The study provided a promising strategy for the development of highly efficient label-free CL immunoassay system.
