Abstract
Molecularly imprinted film was fabricated in the presence of a pentadecapeptide onto a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) chip. This 15-mer peptide has been known as the linear epitope of the dengue virus NS1 protein. Imprinting resulted in an increased polymer affinity toward the corresponding templates but also to the virus protein. Direct detection of the dengue virus protein was achieved quantitatively. The QCM chip response to the NS1 protein was obtained using epitope-mediated imprinting demonstrating a comparable frequency shift in chips immobilized with monoclonal antibodies. The binding effect was further enhanced and confirmed using a monoclonal antibody to form a sandwich with the MIP-NS1 protein complex on the chip. No pretreatment was required.
