Abstract

We have used quartz crystal microbalance (QCM)-based real-time biospecific interaction measurement to analyze the binding of immunoliposomes to antigen and examined the use of liposomes as signal-enhancing reagents in competitive QCM immunoassay. For the preparation of immunoliposomes, various amounts of bacterially produced lipid-tagged single-chain antibody against 2-phenyloxazolone were incorporated in phosphatidylcholine liposomes.
The immunoliposomes bound specifically to immobilized hapten, and this binding was inhibited by soluble hapten in a concentration-dependent manner. In this competitive assay, antigen could be measured in the concentration range from 10-5 to 10-8 M.
