PG - 1332-6 LID - 10.1016/j.bios.2010.07.042 [doi] AB - A highly sensitive method of spectroscopic ellipsometry in total internal reflection mode (TIRE) was exploited for detecting beta-amyloid peptide (Abeta(1-16)) in the direct immune reaction with monoclonal DE2 antibodies (raised against Abeta(1-16)) electrostatically immobilised on the surface of gold. A rapid detection of Abeta(1-16) in a wide range of concentrations from 5 mug/ml down to 0.05 ng/ml was achieved using a cost-effective and label-free direct immunoassay format. TIRE dynamic spectral measurements proved that the immune reaction between DE2 monoclonal antibodies and Abeta(1-16) is highly specific with the affinity constant K(D)=1.46x10(-8) mol/l. The same DE2 antibodies were utilised for detection of amyloid precursor protein APP(770), a larger protein containing Abeta(1-16) domain, using the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) measurements in liquid. A combination of QCM and TIRE kinetics results allowed the evaluation of the originally unknown concentration of APP(770) in complete medium solution containing other proteins, salts, and amino acids.
