Abstract:
:Methods to develop an immuno-optical biosensor for the detection and monitoring of Protein C (PC) concentrations are described. A tapered quartz fiber is enclosed in a glass tube (capacity approximately 300 microliters) and monoclonal antibody against PC (anti-PC) is immobilized on the surface of this fiber. PC within a sample, when injected into the chamber, will bind to the anti-PC in a specific reaction. The system is then probed with a fluorophore tagged secondary antibody against PC, also binding to PC in a specific reaction. Excitation light is applied through the fiber, and the amount of fluorescence is correlated with the PC concentration in the sample. This study offers encouraging results for the detection of PC deficiency in real-time.
