The bioactivity of anti-human IgG Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films, the non-specific adsorption of protein and the topography of anti-IgG LB films have been studied for application in immunosensors. The antibody (AB) LB films were horizontally deposited on glass and functionalized polymers, such as carboxy-poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-COOH), chloropropyl and aminopropyl sol-gel. The LB films were characterized by means of ellipsometry, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein test. The interpretation of ellipsometric data was performed using a one-layer model. Non-specifically adsorbed protein was desorbed by washing the IgG film in 0.5 M NaCl, 2 M NaCl and 1% N-cetyl-N,N,N-trimethylammoniumbromide detergent solution resulting in a 50% reduction of the film thickness. The mean thickness of an anti-IgG film on glass measured by ellipsometry, PVC-COOH and aminopropyl sol-gel was 9+/-2, 11+/-1 and 23+/-8 nm, respectively. According to the BCA test 6-8 mug antibody (AB) per slide was bound to the functionalized polymers, but only 3 mug AB per slide was adsorbed on glass. The average distance of anti-IgG granules as indicated by AFM measurements on PVC-COOH, chloropropyl and aminopropyl sol-gel was 42+/-20, 34+/-3 and 23+/-4 nm. The average distance of granular AB structures on glass, however, was 150+/-50 nm.
