Comparison of the IgG-binding activity of recombinant Staphylococcal protein A with introduced C-terminal cysteine residue (SPA-Cys) or goat anti-human IgG antibodies (anti-IgG) after their immobilization on a gold sensor surface of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectrometer. Methods. SPA-Cys or anti-IgG were immobilized on a gold sensor surface to form two variants of a bioselective element of the immunosensor. SPR spectrometry was used for the detection of IgG-binding activity of the immobilized proteins. Results. The SPR sensor response to the immobilization of anti-IgG was more than two times higher than that to the immobilization of SPA-Cys. However, there is almost the double advantage for SPA-Cys in the number of immobilized molecules. Moreover, the bioselective element of the immunosensor based on SPA-Cys showed a much better capability of binding IgG than the bioselective element based on anti-IgG. Conclusions. Comparison of immobilization of SPA-Cys or anti-IgG on the sensor surface of SPR spectrometer, and the interactions of immobilized proteins with human IgG demonstrated obvious advantages of SPA-Cys.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
