Direct detection of a cytokine protein, recombinant human interferon-y, using an IBIS SPR sensor is presented in [60]. Several types of sensor chip coatings, including self-assembled monolayers and hydrogel-derivatized SAMs, were characterized in terms of their ability to resist non-specific adsorption from plasma. The best results with respect to plasma adsorption and surface regenerability were obtained with antibodies immobilized on the dextran-modified 11-mercaptoimdecanoic acid SAM. The detection limit for detection of human interferon-y in 1 100 diluted plasma was established at 250ngmL . ...
