Question

Describe what biomarkers are used by electrochemical immunosensors to treat tumor cancers

Expert Solution

Step 1

Electrochemical immunosensors are easy-to- use, quick, trustworthy, and affordable tools with sensitive detection limits to track the amounts of biomarkers in both healthy and sick serum.

Immunosensors based on antibody-antigen interaction are one of the most popular analytical approaches in the quantitative detection of these disorders due to the precise binding of antibody to its corresponding antigen.

Diseases are related to the patients' altered marker levels.

"A trait that is objectively tested and analysed as an indicator of normal biological processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacological responses to a therapeutic intervention" is the definition of a biomarker.

Proteins are a significant class of biomarkers that can indicate disease states when they are present in serum, tissue, or saliva at high or decreased amounts.
