Ultrasensitive electroanalytical monitoring of interleukin-6 levels in serum samples has emerged as a valuable tool for the early diagnosis of inflammatory diseases. Despite its advantages, there is a lack of strategies for the label-free voltammetric determination of cytokines. Here, a novel chitosan/genipin modified fluorine tin oxide electrode was developed providing an in-situ hydrogel formation (FTO/CSG). This platform was applied for the detection of interleukin-6, a major pro-inflammatory cytokine. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) indicated genipin serves as an efficient green cross-linker to build the immunosensing platform (FTO/CSG/anti-IL-6). EIS showed an increase in charge transfer resistance from 326 to 1360 kΩ after the immobilization of anti-IL-6 antibodies. By square wave voltammetry, this method achieved a detection limit of 0.03 pg mL-1 with a wide linear range of 0.05-1000 pg mL-1. Additionally, it displayed a high selectivity index when tested in the presence of three inflammatory cytokines as interfering proteins: IL-12, IL-1ß, and TNF-α. The sample matrix effect showed a peak current variation lower than 5 %. The novel method was applied for the quantification of IL-6 in serum samples of septic mice. No statistical differences were observed between the standard ELISA and the proposed method using a confidence level of 95 %.
