| Title: |
Detection of Small
Molecular Weight Chemicals Using Nanoparticle-Based Radioimmunoassay |
| Case # |
04-002 |
| Inventors: |
Feng Chen, Xi Wang, Paul Dawson |
| Summary: |
The invention combines nanotechnology,
immunoassay and radioisotope methodology aiming to develop a rapid,
accurate and economical test kit. This method allows detection
of small molecular weight chemicals quantitatively and qualitatively
with higher sensitivity approximately 100 times of those using
current chromatographic and ELISA methods. This method is
also suitable to detect large molecular chemicals. This
method can also be applied in high throughput screening test. |
| Applications: |
The production of commercial test kits
can be used to detect any potential interested chemicals if the
corresponding antibodies have been developed, no matter the size,
functionality or their existing complexity. Further modification
of the nanoparticle-antibody conjugates to conjugate "sandwiches"
can be used in medicinal treatments, especially in cancer cell
detection and subsequent treatment. |
