Prediction of blood glucose based on measuring the glucose concentration in interstitial fluid is an effectively way to control diabetes. A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) system based on a miniature integrated SPR sensor is set up in this paper to measure the glucose concentration in interstitial fluid, and the D-galactose/D-glucose Binding Protein (GGBP) which can specifically absorb glucose is immobilized onto the SPR sensor surface by amine coupling method for higher sensitivity. The experiment result is affected by various factors, such as the grime on sensor surface, baseline, flow velocity, mass transfer effect, temperature, protein activity, bubbles. In this paper these factors are studied systemically by experiments and some solutions are proposed accordingly: (1) Make sure the sensor surface is clean before it is used. (2) Dynamic baseline can provide the best baseline location during the measurement. (3) Flow velocity of 10uL/min-30uL/min is supposed to be chosen. (4) The density of protein immobilized on the sensor surface should maintain lower to avoid the mass transfer effect. (5) Higher response is got when the temperature is between 26°C and 30°C and it is important to keep temperature constant during the experiment. (6) The protein should be preserved with a proper way and make sure it is active during the measurement. (7) The sample should be degassed and filtered before the experiment and make sure there is no air in the pipeline. Through optimizing the experiment conditions, the sensitivity and stability of the measurement are improved.

SummaryThe physiologic activation of the plasma kallikrein-kinin system requires the assembly of its constituents on a cell membrane. High-molecular-weight kininogen (HK) and cleaved HK (HKa) both interact with at least three endothelial cell binding proteins: urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), globular C1q receptor (gC1qR,) and cytokeratin 1 (CK1). The affinity of HK and HKa for endothelial cells are KD=7–52 nM. The contribution of each protein is unknown. We examined the direct binding of HK and HKa to the soluble extracellular form of uPAR (suPAR), gC1qR and CK1 using surface plasmon resonance. Each binding protein linked to a CM-5 chip and the association, dissociation and KD (equilibrium constant) were measured. The interaction of HK and HKa with each binding protein was zinc-dependent. The affinity for HK and HKa was gC1qR>CK1>suPAR, indicating that gC1qR is dominant for binding. The affinity for HKa compared to HK was the same for gC1qR, 2.6-fold tighter for CK1 but 53-fold tighter for suPAR. Complex between binding proteins was only observed between gC1qR and CK1 indicating that a binary CK1-gC1qR complex can form independently of kininogen. Although suPAR has the weakest affinity of the three binding proteins, it is the only one that distinguished between HK and HKa. This finding indicates that uPAR may be a key membrane binding protein for differential binding and signalling between the cleaved and uncleaved forms of kininogen. The role of CK1 and gC1qR may be to initially bind HK to the membrane surface before productive cleavage to HKa.

Abstract A collaborative study was conducted on an inhibition-based protein-binding assay using the Biacore Q™ biosensor instrument and the Biacore Qflex™ Kit Vitamin B12 PI. The samples studied included infant formula, cereals, premixes, vitamin tablets, dietary supplements, and baby food. The collaborative study, which involved 11 laboratories, demonstrated that the assay showed an RSDr of 1.59–27.8 and HorRat values for reproducibility of 0.34–1.89 in samples with levels ranging from ppm to ppb. The assay studied is a label-free protein binding-based assay that uses the principle of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to measure the interaction between vitamin B12 and a specifc binding protein. A Biacore Q biosensor uses this principle to detect binding directly at the surface of a sensor chip with a hydrophilic gold-dextran surface. The instrument passes a mixture of prepared sample extract and binding protein solution across a covalently immobilized vitamin B12 chip surface, and the response is given as free-binding protein as the mixture binds to the immobilized surface. This technique uses the specifcity and robustness of the protein-ligand interaction to allow minimal sample preparation and a wide range of matrixes to be analyzed rapidly. The reagents and accessories needed to perform this assay are provided as the ready-to-use format “Qflex Kit Vitamin B12 PI.” The method is intended for routine use in the quantitative determination of vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin) in a wide range of food products, dietary vitamin supplements, and multivitamin premixes.
