International audience. In this article, a colorimetric biosensor for detection of Leishmania major surface protease (Gp63) antibody (anti-gp63) was developed by using gold nanoparticle (AuNP) as a color reagent. The dispersion or aggregation of AuNPs leads to a distinct and sensitive change in UV-vis spectra and solution color. For this purpose, kinetoplastid membrane protein-11 (KMP-11) was labeled with AuNPs surface directly. After that, Gp63 antibody was added in the KMP-11@AuNP solution and a color change from red/pink to purple/violet was observed. As a result, anti-gp63 solution diluted at a ratio of 1:640 can be detected with the developed colorimetric leishmania biosensor. The relative standard deviation value for 1:320 diluted anti-gp63 was calculated as 1.29 %. Furthermore, the linear range of the developed colorimetric biosensor was determined as 1:80 to 1:640. Moreover, developed Leishmania biosensor was applied for detection of leishmania parasite crude antigen and rabbit serum which were used as positive and negative samples respectively. As a result, the recovery values for the measurements of aforementioned samples were calculated as 95.3 % ± 0.02, 103.1 % ± 0.02, 96.2 % ± 0.01 and 95.5 % ± 0.03 for dilutions of 1:200, 1:160, 1:320 and 1:640 anti-gp63 solutions respectively.
