  • Binding of carbohydrates (galactose, mannose) to microbeads.
  • Reaction with fluorescently labeled proteins to assess carbohydrate-protein interactions.
  • Utilizing galactose-modified microbeads for colon tumor cell adhesion studies.

Main Results:

  • A six-fold increase in fluorescent signal was observed compared to unmodified glass surfaces.
  • Demonstrated a significant increase in valence afforded by the microbead-based method.
  • Carcinoma cells showed superior adhesion to galactose-modified surfaces compared to normal cells.
  • Validated the success of the biofunctionalization method for investigating cellular mechanisms.

Conclusions:

  • The in situ microbead functionalization technique effectively mimics cellular environments in microfluidics.
  • This method vastly increases the surface-to-volume ratio, enhancing biochemical analysis sensitivity.
  • The technique successfully differentiates colon tumor cells based on galactose receptor expression, aiding cellular mechanism studies.
