✦ Synopsis
The introduction in 1990 of a new biosensor technology based on surface plasmon resonance has revolutionized the measurement of antigen-antibody binding interactions. In this technique, one of the interacting partners is immobilized on a sensor chip and the binding of the other is followed by the increase in refractive index caused by the mass of bound species. The following immunochemical applications of this new technology will be described: (1) functional mapping of epitopes and paratopes by mutagenesis; (2) analysis of the thermodynamic parameters of the interaction; (3) measurement of the concentration of biogically active molecules; (4) selection of diagnostic probes.

In biological systems, weak-affinity interactions (association constant, K a , of less than approximately 10 4 M Ϫ 1 ) between biomolecules are common and essential to the integrity of such units. However, studies of weak biological interactions are difficult due to the scarcity of analytical method
A methodology using biosensor technology for combined kinetic and thermodynamic analysis of biomolecular interactions is described. Rate and affinity constants are determined with BIAcore. Thermodynamics parameters, changes in free energy, enthalpy and entropy, are evaluated from equilibrium data an
