Use of nanopatterned surfaces to enhance immunoreaction efficiency

In this work, we compare the immunoreaction efficiency between uniformly functionalized surface and chemically nanopattemed surfaces when applied as platforms for antigen/antibody interactions with and without the use of protein A as orienting protein. On the nanopattemed platform, the inummoreaction efficiency is higher than all the other cases with no protein A pretreatment of the surface, providing evidence of the capability of the adhesive/antiadhesive nanopatterned surface to immobilize the molecules in a reactive state, increasing their possibility to form complexes.
