  • Immobilization of antigens to solid support by the mussel adhesive polyphenolic protein and the method for use therein
    Patent number: 5817470
    Abstract: This invention is related to a process for the enhanced immobilization of a ligand to solid supports to be used for a biochemical detection method. The enhanced immobilization of the ligand was obtained by coating the surface of the solid support with the adhesive polyphenolic protein isolated from mussels. The bound ligand is reacted with a solution containing an antiligand whereby the antiligand becomes bound to the immobilized ligand. After removing the excess or unbound antiligand, the antiligand bound to the immobilized ligand is detected by using an enzyme-linked immunoassay.
