โฆ Synopsis
It is shown that a streptavidin monolayer immobilized onto an evaporated gold film with biotin forms the basis of a highly specific sensing element. As an example, we show that by immobilizing the biotinylated antibody sex hormone binding globulin (alpha-SHBG) to the bound streptavidin monolayer a specific sensor for the antigen SHBG is readily fabricated. The interaction between immobilized antibody and corresponding antigen is monitored by surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy and is shown to follow a classic Langmuir isotherm. Detection of SHBG at nanomolar concentrations is demonstrated.
