An electrochemical immunosensor for intraepithelial neoplasia in cervicovaginal lavage using a fullerene-TCNQ platform for p16 detection

An electrochemical immunosensor for p16 peptide (p16) was successfully developed for diagnosis of precancerous lesions from samples of cervicovaginal lavage. An increase in p16 expression in these cells is correlated with malignant lesions. Herein, an electrochemical immunosensor is described based on an electrocatalytic buckminsterfullerene (C
