Abstract
A novel and simple emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization technique was developed for preparation of mono-dispersed amino functionalized polymer microspheres with well defined diameters (about 400 nm). Various characterization methods demonstrated that the obtained amino microspheres had a uniform size and good dispersity which were confirmed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Zeta potential and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) demonstrated that amino groups have been successfully introduced to the microsphere surface. These functionalized microspheres have been shown to be efficient and controllable carriers capable of immobilizing and enriching monoclonal antibodies. Moreover, a newest chemiluminescent enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) approach has been developed for human Hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) detection. HBsAg was sandwiched between goat anti-HBsAg polyclonal antibody and mouse anti-HBsAg antibody. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) conjugated horse anti-mouse immunnogloblin was used to bond with monoclonal antibody. Finally, chemiluminesent (CL) signals were recorded after adding 3-(2-spiroadamantane)-4-methoxy-4-(3-phosphoryloxy) phenyl-1,2-dioxetane (AMPPD) which was used as a chemiluminescent substrate reagent of ALP. This novel chemiluminescent ELISA assay was proved to be of excellent specificity and high sensitivity when using ALP and AMPPD luminescence systems for specific HBsAg detection.
