The diagnosis of numerous illnesses relies on the sensitive detection of clinical biomarkers. It is of the utmost importance especially in the case of tumor diseases, allowing for early-stage cancer diagnosis and monitoring of treatment response. Due to the high specificity provided by antibodies, various kinds of immunochemical assays are used for this purpose. However, conventional immunoassays often provide insufficient sensitivity for the detection of low-abundance biomarkers. A common strategy to enhance immunoassay sensitivity involves replacing conventional labels with nanoparticles. Photon-upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) stand out among the most promising options. These lanthanide-doped nanocrystals convert near-infrared radiation into visible light, significantly reducing the optical background. Moreover, their emission spectra can be tuned by altering the dopant ions. The heterogeneous immunoassay format is typically predominant due to its high sensitivity and specificity. However, it requires immobilization and washing steps, leading to a prolonged procedure. Conversely, even though homogeneous immunoassays omit these time-consuming steps, they come at the cost of reduced specificity and sensitivity. To overcome these drawbacks, we have developed a novel artificial intelligence-aided homogeneous immunoassay format based on massively parallel spectroscopy (MPS). This single-molecule method utilizes two different UCNP-antibody labels binding to analyte molecules, detecting only sandwich immunocomplexes containing the analyte molecule and both labels with different doping. We have successfully employed this method in immunoassays for tumor biomarkers prostate-specific antigen and protein p53, proving its high potential. MPS promises to become a fast and high-throughput method for the detection of biomarkers.
