title: Surface plasmon resonance based pesticide assay on a renewable biosensing surface using the reversible concanavalin A monosaccharide interaction.
abstract: A competitive immunoassay based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) for the detection of the pesticide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is reported. The novelty of the assay is based on the regeneration of the chip surface by the reversible interaction between monosaccharide (D-glucose) and lectin (Concanavalin A). Concanavalin A-2,4-D conjugate was chemically synthesized, purified and used for binding to the SPR chip modified with covalently bound alpha-D-glucose. The interaction between anti-2,4-D antibody and the surface-bound concanavalin A-2,4-D conjugate was monitored by surface plasmon resonance and the response was used for the quantification of 2,4-D. The dynamic range of the calibration curve was between 3 and 100 ng/ml. The demonstrated principle of surface regeneration based on the reversible sugar-lectin interaction may be of more general applicability in immunoassays.
