Agriculture and animal husbandry area, such as Xinjiang, has high rates of hydatid disease. Protein P38 of Echinococcus granulosus has practical value in diagnosis of hydatid disease, and it may be used as a diagnostic marker and a prognostic index. In recent years, the development of biosensors based on porous silicon has been developed rapidly. In this experiment, the protein P38 detection based on fluorescence changes of porous silicon following protein P38 molecule adsorption. The results of the tests indicated that, with the increase of antigen concentration, the fluorescence decrease of porous silicon is also increasing. It is provided the foundation for the basic research of the molecular mechanism of P38, and diagnosis and treatment of cystic echinococcosis.
