Since immunosensors usually measure the signals resulting from the specific immu-noreactions between the analytes and the antibodies or antigens immobilized, it is clear that the immobilization procedures of the antibodies (antigens) on the surfaces of base transducers should play an important role in the construction of immunosensors. Numerous immobilization procedures have been employed for diverse immunosensors, such as electrostatic adsorption, entrapment, cross-linking, and covalent bonding procedures. They may be appropriately divided into two kinds of non-covalent interaction-based and covalent interaction-based immobilization procedures. 

The first known application of I AC was reported by Campbell et al. in 1951, where an antigen immobilized to p-aminobenzyl cellulose was used for antibody purification [9], Many current applications... 

Immunochemical detection is possible in one step, if the detecting antibody carries the signal-forming principle. But also cascades of steps are used to identify the first-bound antibody and by it the antigen immobilized by blotting. Antibodies form these cascades, i.e., if the first bound antibody is from species A, e.g., rabbit, a second antibody from other species, e.g., goat, directed against the primary, is used. 

Also, atomic force microscopy (AFM) is used to characterize the binding of antigen/ antibody on a molecular level (e.g., to select suitable materials for antigen immobilization), to characterize individual antigen/antibody complexes, and to investigate the... 

The repeated pulse injection method was applied to determine the association rate constant of the antigen-immobilized monoclonal antibody reaction 124.25). These monoclonal antibodies differ by their specificity and affinity for HSA. The epitope recognized by the HA6 antibody is located between residues I and 128. The epitope of the commercial antibody (m-anti-HSA) is located between residues 124 and 298 of the HSA molecule. They differ by their affinity for HSA. with equilibrium binding constants of respectively 6.7 x 108 mol-dm and 1.6 x 10K dm3 mol-1 for the HSA/HA6 and the HSA/m-anti-HSA association in solution 25). Close binding rate constants are obtained on both immobilized monoclonal antibodies with Aa = 2.5 x I0 i dm -moC -s-1.

Selection is based upon the functional properties of the evolved protein (phenotype). Binding to antigen immobilized in the wells of a microtiter plate or on the surfaces of magnetic beads are frequently used approaches. Flow cytometry sorting systems, some of which can sort up to 108 cells/h, represent a promising new class of selection technique.

The blue trace shows the initial baseline spectrum corresponding to Fig. la where the first resonator is immobilized with streptavidin. The red trace shows the test spectra after the association of anti-streptavidin.

A typical example of fluorlmetrlc determination on dry reagent films is that of serum Immunoglobulins reported by Wang et al. [48]. The method uses a stabilized solid-phase immunoadsorbent consisting of an antigen Immobilized on a cellulose nitrate-acetate disc stuck to a Stiq plastic sampler. The polymer disc acts both as a substrate for Immobilization and as an even surface on which highly precise fluorlmetric determinations can be conducted. The assay...

One of the online inununosensor systems developed in recent years and that has attracted much attention is the prototype FIA River ANALyser (RIANA system), which was developed under the European Commission funding. The RIANA system incorporates a multiple analytes immunoanalysis based on total internal reflection fluorescence with 15 minutes for each analysis [109,110]. The transducer consists of a quartz slide with spatially resolved surface modification for antigen immobilization, along which a coupled laser beam propagates by total internal reflection. The antibodies are labeled with Cy5.5 fluorescent dye, which competes with the free analyte. The system has been applied for the detection of chlorotriazines, atrazine, simazine, and isoproturon. Detection limit for isoproturon in river water was 0.14... 

An antigen immobilized on a microtiter well is detected by incubation with a primary antibody. After washing, this is detected by incubation with an antispecies antibody that is biotinylated (linked to biotin molecule[s]). Again, after washing, the complex is detected by the addition of avidin that is linked to enzyme followed by the addition of the relevant substrate.
