Abstract
Early detection of liver carcinoma is considered very important to overcome the growing mortalities worldwide. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a highly potential diagnostic technique for accurate analysis of 100 kDa filtrate portions of liver carcinoma patients. In this research work, blood serum samples were analyzed which contain low molecular weight fraction (LMWF) and high molecular weight fraction (HMWF) of biomolecules but later suppressed the earlier which are considered as disease biomarkers. However, the ultra-centrifugal devices having cut off values of 100 kDa are found to be useful to separate biomolecules on the basis of their molecular weight in the form of filtrate, with molecular weight less than 100 KDa and residue with molecular weight greater than 100 KDa. The chemometric tools including principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were applied for the classification and differentiation of spectral data of filtrate samples of healthy and different stages of liver carcinoma. The significant SERS bands appeared at 655, 908, 955, 1127, 1250, and 1323 cm−1 are directly associated with the progression of liver carcinoma disease.
期刊介绍:
Plasmonics is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed leading-edge original articles that both advance and report our knowledge base and practice of the interactions of free-metal electrons, Plasmons.
Topics covered include notable advances in the theory, Physics, and applications of surface plasmons in metals, to the rapidly emerging areas of nanotechnology, biophotonics, sensing, biochemistry and medicine. Topics, including the theory, synthesis and optical properties of noble metal nanostructures, patterned surfaces or materials, continuous or grated surfaces, devices, or wires for their multifarious applications are particularly welcome. Typical applications might include but are not limited to, surface enhanced spectroscopic properties, such as Raman scattering or fluorescence, as well developments in techniques such as surface plasmon resonance and near-field scanning optical microscopy.
