Novel Polymer Coating for Nanoscale Cancer Diagnostics
Cancer Diagnostic Sensor Schematic
Schematic of diagnostic sensor. The polymer conjugate (green lines) enables binding of specific antibodies (red), while its zwitter-ionic properties prevent binding of all other proteins (large green). This enables specific detection of biomarkers (brown) without fouling the surface in the presence of the complex milieux of human blood serum.
