Engineering thermostable affinity proteins for use in high-throughput immunoassay formats†
Abstract
ELISA utilizes polystyrene materials for capture reagents. Natural absorption randomly orients the capture reagent, decreasing immobilization and target biomarker accessibility. A thermostable affinity protein rcSso7d can replace antibodies as a capture reagent in cellulose-based diagnostic tests. ‘RAFIASRRIRRP’ at the N-terminus of two repeating units of rcSso7d improved polystyrene immobilization for high-throughput ELISA.
