Selective Detection of Antigen-Antibody Reaction Using Si Ring Optical Resonators

Abstract

<jats:p> Si ring optical resonators have been fabricated by the Si LSI technology using electron beam lithography and reactive ion etching. The resonator is applied for sensing receptor-analyte reaction using silicon-binding protein, Si-tag, which enables receptors immobilized on a Si dioxide surface with a controlled orientation. For the receptor, the major house-dust mite allergen called Der f 2 was used, and for the analyte anti-Der f 2 immunoglobulin type G (IgG), which is selectively bound to Der f 2, was used. Antiserum against Der f 2, which contains anti-Der f 2 IgG, was diluted to 1/100 with the pure water, and exposed to the resonator on which the Der f 2 was adsorbed with the Si-tag. Then the resonance wavelength was shifted by 0.18 nm, while exposure of the normal rabbit serum containing no Der f 2 IgG resulted in the peak shift less than half (0.07 nm). These results indicate the selective reaction between Der f 2 and anti-Der f 2 IgG. </jats:p>
