Optical fiber based immunosensors are very attractive for biomarker detection. In order to improve the sensor response, we propose a promising strategy which combines porous-layer modification of the fiber surface and streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase nano-complex signal amplification in chemiluminescent detection. Two hepatitis B antigens, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), are used as the targets for analysis using the proposed sensor. Comparing to immunoassays using normal optical fiber sensors, the response of the present sensor is enhanced by a factor of 4.8 and 6.7 for detection of HBsAg and HBeAg, respectively. The limit-of-quantitation of the proposed method is as low as 0.3 fg/mL (0.01 fg/mL) with a wide linear response range of 3 fg/mL-150 ng/mL (0.1 fg/mL-160 ng/mL) for sensing HBsAg (HBeAg). Quantitative determination of HBsAg and HBeAg in human serum samples is performed, showing the applicability of the proposed method for biomarker detection.
