Abstract
We examined the kinetics of ERK1/2 phosphorylation and TNF-α secretion in primary human monocytes in response to soluble heat-aggregated IgG or surface-bound IgG, to mimic soluble immune complexes and tissue-deposited IgG, respectively. Soluble aggregated IgG induced transient signaling, leading to...

Abstract
We demonstrate that the biosensor was able to detect SEB at concentrations as low as 5 ng/mL at a signal to baseline (S/B) ratio of 2. Such measurements were performed on the chip in wet conditions. The actuation of the chip by SEB is immediate, permitting real-time signal measurements. In addition...

Abstract
A simple biosensing strategy for the diagnosis of patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) was developed. This study can be divided into two themes, both of which utilized gold-binding polypeptide (GBP) fusion proteins: HBV surface antigen PreS2 (HBsAg) detection with GBP-fused single chain antibody (G...

Abstract
We prepared a polymer in which the Cu(II) was embedded. The Cu(II)-embedded polymer was tested for its binding with protein. It was found that Cu(II)-embedded polymer displayed a strong binding with bovine serum albumin (BSA). At 80% of methanol, no BSA was released from Cu(II)-embedded polymer. The...

Abstract
We have synthesized a biocompatible polyaspartic acid-based polymer (molecular weight approximately 15,000-25,000) with cysteine on its backbone for use as a capping ligand for functionalized Au, Ag, and CdSe@ZnS nanoparticles. Nearly monodisperse, hydrophobic Au and Ag nanoparticles and CdSe@ZnS qu...

Abstract
Analysis of panel of antibodies to HBsAg produced by 6 hybridomas revealed pH-dependent monoclonal antibodies (18C8), which immobilization at low pH values together with detecting antibodies F4F3 allowed to greatly improve sensitivity of the sandwich technique. Minimal credibly detectable concentrat...

Abstract
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a highly sensitive method for the detection of molecular interactions. One interacting partner is immobilized on the sensor chip surface while the other is injected across the sensor surface. This chapter focuses on high-affinity immobilization of protein substrate...

Abstract
We introduce an automated immunoblotting method that reports protein electrophoretic mobility and identity in a single streamlined microfluidic assay. Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) was integrated with subsequent in situ immunoblotting. Integration of three PA gel elements into a g...

Abstract
We employed microfabricated surfaces to capture T-cells from minimally processed human blood, arrange these cells into a single cell array, and then detect interferon (IFN)-gamma released from individual cells. The fabrication of cell capture surfaces started with coating a silane-modified glass sli...

Abstract
The CBIB was capable of distinguishing among the three analytes. The sensitivity and dynamic ranges of the assay were suitable for the detection of the three targets in the majority of GCF samples. There were highly statistically significant (P <0.0001) positive correlations between CBIB and ELISA d...
