Abstract :
A sensitive and label-free electrochemical immunosensor has been designed using chitosan (CHI)-carbon nano tubes (SWCNT) nano composite coated graphite electrodes for lung cancer detection using anti-hTERT for detection of hTERT biomarker (expressed in state of initial lung cancer progression). Computer interfacing technologies are now essentially desired to integrate diagnosis systems so as to progress towards point of care diagnosis.
