Multichannel surface plasmon resonance imaging and analysis of micropatterned self-assembled monolayers and protein affinity interactions.

Multichannel images of 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid and 11-mercapto-1-undecanol self-assembled monolayers together with a biospecific interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma)/anti-IFN-gamma antibody immunoaffinity interaction were observed by the two-dimensional surface plasmon resonance (2D-SPR) imaging system. With the fabricated 2D-SPR imaging system, adopting a white light source in combination with a narrow band-pass filter, sharp images were resolved, minimizing the diffraction patterns on the resulting images. Micropatterning of self-assembled monolayers was acheived by exploiting the UV photolysis of thiol bonding, instead of conventional photolithography. The line profile calibration of the image contrast with ellipsometric analysis enabled us to discriminate the change in monolayer thickness within a sub-nanometer scale. For the protein interactions on the surface, the biospecific affinity recognition reaction of IFN-gamma antigen with surface-immobilized antibody was analyzed. Through the signal amplification strategy based on the enzyme-catalyzed precipitation reaction in a sandwich-type immunoassay, biospecific antigen binding was found detectable down to a concentration of 1 ng/mL.[1]
