Abstract

The covalent immobilization of antibodies using non-amphiphilic alkylated cellulose films is described—the Figure shows the antibodies attached to the film via imino bonds. Rapid detection of a specific antibody–antigen reaction is demonstrated as is single-molecule detection. Thus biochemical surfaces prepared in this way have great potential as ultrasensitive bio- and immunosensors.
