Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Interleukin-6(IL-6), a cytokine relating inframmatory and autoimmune activity, was detected with fluorescence assays using a plasmonic chip. In their assays, the way of surface modification, sample volume, incubation time and mixing solution, were found to influence the detection sensitivity. When the assay was revised in the point of a rapid and easy process, the detection sensitivity was not compromised compared to assays with sufficient sample volume and assay time. In the assay with the ZnO-plasmonic chip and bispecific antibody, the limit of detection was found to be pM level for 10 microL of sample solution and 20 min of assay time.
