Surface Plasmon Resonance
Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) is an optical technique used to measure molecular interactions in real-time. SPR can occur when plane-polarized light hits a metal film under total internal reflection conditions. SPR signal is directly dependent on the refractive index of the medium on the sensor chip. The binding of biomolecules results in changes in the refractive index on the sensor surface.In an SPR experiment, one molecule (the Ligand) is immobilized on a sensor chip and binding to a second molecule (the Analyte) is measured under flow. Response is measured in resonance units (RU) and is proportional to the mass on the surface, and for any given interactant, the response is proportional to the number of molecules bound to the surface. Response is recorded and displayed as a sensogram in real time.
Principle of Surface Plasmon Resonance (GE)
Application of SPR
- Increase understanding of molecular mechanisms and structure-function relationships
- Define potential drug targets and diagnostic markers
- Select and characterize biotherapeutic candidates
- Select and optimize lead compounds during drug discovery
- Detect and characterize anti-drug antibodies (ADA) in immunogenicity studies
- Comprehensive characterization of ADAs, detection of IgG4, determination of epitope specificity
- Perform time- and cost-efficient concentration analysis in vaccine development
