Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay

17.8K
In 1971, Peter Perlman and Eva Engvall developed an Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA or EIA). ELISA differs from western blot in that the assays are conducted in microtiter plates or in vivo rather than on an absorbent membrane.
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen.  Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Optoelectronics

Background:

  • Biosensing requires sensitive and rapid detection methods for biomolecules.
  • Ellipsometry offers label-free monitoring of surface interactions.
  • Existing methods may lack speed, sensitivity, or ease of operation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an in situ, fast, and sensitive biosensing method using ellipsometry.
  • To enable simultaneous monitoring of solution refractive index and biolayer properties.
  • To demonstrate the method's efficacy using immunoglobulin G (IgG) detection.

Main Methods:

  • Functionalization of a bare silicon wafer substrate for biomolecule binding.
  • Utilizing 45° dual-drive symmetric photoelastic modulator-based ellipsometry for parameter measurement (Ψ, ∆).
  • Real-time monitoring of biolayer formation and solution properties during biomolecular interactions.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a limit of detection of 15 ng/mL for immunoglobulin G (IgG).
  • Demonstrated data collection in milliseconds, indicating high speed.
  • Exhibited good specificity in biomolecular interaction detection.
  • Successfully monitored effective thickness and surface mass density of the biolayer.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed ellipsometry-based biosensing method is fast, sensitive, and label-free.
  • It allows for simultaneous measurement of solution and biolayer parameters.
  • This technique is a promising platform for developing novel, cost-effective biosensors.
