Abstrakt: A renewable immunosensor consisting of an `epoxygraphite' biocomposite containing silver and tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) is described. These compounds enhance conductivity allowing the use of a smaller potential (0.28 v) which, in turn, enhances selectivity. This sensor, which may be renewed by simple polishing of its surface, was employed to detect human IgG using peroxidase-coupled anti-human IgG. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
