Surface plasmon resonance immunosensor using self-assembled protein G for the detection of Salmonella paratyphi

초록

A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based immunosensor using self-assembled protein G was developed for the detection of Salmonella paratyphi. In order to endow a solid substrate binding affinity to protein G, the free amine (-NH2) of protein G was substituted into thiol (-SH) using 2-iminothiolane. Thus, self-assembled protein G was fabricated on gold (Au) substrate. The formation of protein G layer on Au surface, and the binding of antibody and antigen in series were continued by SPR spectroscopy. The surface morphology analysis of the protein G layer on Au surface was performed by atomic force microscope (AFM). Consequently, an immunosensor based on SPR for the detection of S. paratyphi using self-assembled protein G was developed with a detection range of 10(2)-10(7) CFU/ml. The current fabrication technique of a SPR immunosensor for the detection of S. paratyphi could be applied to construct other immunosensors or protein chips. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.
