Technical Report
Binding Kinetics Analysis with SPR: Interaction between Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) and Anti-BSA - by Biosensing Instrument
In this application note, the use
of a Biosensing Instrument(BI) flow injection SPR for real-time
monitoring of the association and dissociation of anti-bovine
serum albumin (anti-BSA) antibody with surface-confined BSA molecules
is demonstrated. In restriction digestion, BSA has been used to
stabilize enzymes during DNA digestion. It is also widely used
as a biomolecule to block active sites on surfaces. Formation
of the anti-BSA/BSA immune complex is relevant to studies of the
receptor site of the red blood cells. By injecting anti-BSA samples
of different concentrations onto BSA-modified gold sensor chips
and fitting the resultant sensorgrams with the BI Kinetic Analysis
Program, the anti-BSA/BSA association and dissociation rate constants
can be deduced.
