title: A mass spectrometry-based immunosensor for bacteria using antibody-conjugated gold nanoparticles.
abstract: We have developed a simple mass spectrometry-based immunosensor using antibody (Ab)-modified gold nanoparticles (Ab-Au NPs) for the rapid quantitation of bacteria via the analysis of Au clusters under pulsed laser irradiation.
