  • Title: Resonant Rayleigh light scattering response of individual Au nanoparticles to antigen-antibody interaction.
    Author: Cao C, Sim SJ.
    Journal: Lab Chip; 2009 Jul 07; 9(13):1836-9. PubMed ID: 19532956.
    Abstract:
    A proof-of-concept study was reported on analysis of antigen-antibody recognition based on resonant Rayleigh scattering response of single Au nanoparticles in an imaging chamber. As benefited by a traditional dark-field microscope and a spectrograph, individual Au nanoparticles (30 nm) were observed with high signal-to-noise ratio and they were effectively utilized to monitor changes in refractive index induced by specific binding of the adsorbates. Using PSA antigen as a model, a LSPR lambda(max) shift of about 2.85 nm was recorded for a molecular binding corresponding to 0.1 pg ml(-1) of the protein biomarker. This result successfully demonstrates a non-labeling detection system for proteins as well as thousands of different chemical or biological species, and it possesses a great potential as a sensitive, on-chip and multiplexing detection.
