In nearly all cases studied, the amount of primary antibody required in the E5-Ab complex to perform an assay has been found to be substantially less than that required for the double antibody immune complex format. This was found to be the case (Table 19.1) when the E5-Ab complex was either directly immobilized on the solid phase, to imitate the double-antibody immune complex format, or utilized in a solution phase format [12],... 

Guanaranta and Wilson [111] compared the different methods for immobilization of acetylcholinesterase by direct immobilization on the matrix, introduction of 1,6 diaminohexane as a spacer, and two methods of oriented immobilization via antibody and avidin-biotin linkage. They found that the latter gave the best efficiency, i. e., tenfold higher than direct immobilization on the matrix (which was the lowest) followed by immobilization on the antibody and immobilization using a spacer. Details about the biotin-avidin technology were published by Wilchek and Bayer [112]. 

Immobilization by electrostatic interaction results in a tight association of the NA backbone with the surface that may leave part of the molecule in an unfavorable conformation for its subsequent hybridization with complementary sequences. This could result in a loss of hybridization efficiency and is the primary reason why this method is recommended principally if the arrayed material is available in large quantities and its price is not an issue for consideration. Alternatively, this method can also be used if the NA does not possess specific chemical functionalities which can be used in other more directed immobilization strategies (e.g. covalent bonding). 

Novagen (ProteoPlex ), S S (FAST Quant), BioSource (Cartesian Array ), and BD Biosciences (BD Clontech Ab Microarrays) have introduced or will soon introduce protein microarray slide formatted products in which antibodies are directly immobilized. Beckman Coulter s protein array products for performing micro-ELlSAS in standard 96-well plate formats are based upon the self-assembly (by hybridization) of oligonucleotide-antibody conjugates to complementary oligonucleotides arrayed in individual wells. HTG s protein array technology was described previously. 

The other interesting observation of this study was that Kf for directly immobilized antibody was only 50% of the avidin-biotin bridged antibody. This suggests that random coupling reduces the number of effective binding sites relative to the oriented coupling using avidin-biotin.

The presented examples of recent achievements in immunosensor development show the tremendous progress in this field. Detection limits lower continuously, miniaturized setups by keeping the possibility of automated production progressed, and procedures for detection are constantly simplified. Direct immobilization of the receptor antibody by photochemical reactions enables the production of ready to use immunosensors in few steps. With photovoltaic components, time consuming and expensive labeling procedures of the analyte can be avoided. 

A DNA-electrochemical biosensor is formed by a DNA film, which constitutes the molecular recognition element (the probe), directly immobilized on the electrochemical transducer. The performance, sensitivity and reliability of the DNA biosensor and the electrochemical response are dictated by the DNA immobilization procedure. The DNA biophysical properties, such as flexibility, and DNA-drug interactions, are influenced...

For the detection of CEA in human blood serum, as well as for the detection of prions (see also Section 3.4) Niemeyer et al. applied the one-step DDI-IPCR [60] described above (2.1.4). This method combines the advantages of coupling the antigen in solution, effective hybridization-directed immobilization, IPCR signal amplification, and real-time detection (2.2.3) into a very fast and robust protocol with a 1000-fold sensitivity increase over conventional ELISA.

The thermopile depends on basic physical principles with the inherent ability to measure temperature differences directly with high common-mode rejection [13]. Furthermore the compatibility with silicon technology enables size reduction and direct immobilization of the biochemical sensing part onto the chip.
