Abstract
Herein is described a label-free immunosensor dedicated to the detection of HIV-2. The biosensor platform is constructed as a mixed self-assembled monolayer-coated quartz wafer onto which HIV-2 immunodominant epitopes are immobilized. The biosensing properties, in terms of specific vs. non-specific antigen-antibody interactions, are evaluated with the electromagnetic piezoelectric acoustic sensor (EMPAS) using equimolar serum solutions of HIV-2 or HIV-1 monoclonal antibodies, respectively. This immunosensor constitutes the first real-world application of the EMPAS technology in the bioanalytical field.Entities:
