Abstract:
We describe a novel method and instrumental setup for regenerating antibodies immobilized on a fiberoptic probe of an immunosensor using ultrasonic irradiation with broadband imaging transducers. The instrumental setup and irradiation conditions for antibody regeneration using ultrasound are described. The results of the measurements with antibody against breast cancer antigen illustrate the effectiveness and potential of the regenerable immunosensor. A 65% removal of the antigens bound to the Mab immobilized on the fiber surface is attained after ultrasound regeneration.
