title: Studying the interaction of alpha-gal carbohydrate antigen and proteins by quartz-crystal microbalance.
abstract: The interaction of alpha-galacosyl antigen and its binding protein (anti-Gal antibody) has been studied by quartz crystal microbalance through a SAM immobilization technique which overcomes the nonspecific interactions and molecule trapping for current piezoelectric biosensors.
