A robust real-time flow injection assay using Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) biosensor has been developed for the detection of mesothelin, an antigen expressed on various malignant tumors including mesothelioma and ovarian cancers. A QCM sensor chip functionalized with self-assembled monolayer of cysteamine used to fabricate a sensitive immunosensor. Mesothelin specific antibody was immobilized on cysteamine modified gold surface of quartz crystal using N-ethyl-N’-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide and N-hydroxy succinimide coupling. Further, ethanolamine was used as a blocking reagent to prevent the non-specific adsorption on antibody functionalized gold surface. Various concentrations of mesothelin was tested and the resonant frequency variation of the crystal was observed by a quartz crystal microbalance until a stable response is obtained. A good correlation between the frequency changes and concentration of mesothelin tested was observed and the QCM biosensor detects mesothelin in the linear range of 100pg/mLto 50 ng/mL. Thus, QCM assay could be a promising technique for early diagnosis of mesothelioma, ovarian and pancreatic adenocarcinoma. |
