Abstract
It is shown that diffraction-based sensing can be enhanced for diagnostic purposes through the use of a secondary label. The limit of detection for anti-rabbit IgG was reduced more than 40-fold by using a gold-conjugated secondary antibody. The response to secondary antibody binding was linear for concentrations from 25 to 500 ng/ml of anti-rabbit IgG, suggesting that quantitative determinations can be readily done. Moreover, the binding of the secondary antibody was observed as soon as 1 min after its introduction to the surface-bound primary complex.Entities:
