Abstract

We characterized IgM antibody binding to supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) on gold plasmonic nanopores using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensing. The antibodies studied, IgMO1 and IgMO4 bind sulfatide (Sulf) and galactocerebroside (GalC), respectively, and initiate myelin regrowth in mouse models of multiple sclerosis. SLBs containing Sulf and GalC are formed on nanopore arrays inside PDMS microfluidics. The optical transmission spectrum through the nanopore array is sensitive to local refractive index and red shifts as antibodies bind to the lipid bilayer. Analysis of the association and dissociation curves allows calculation of dissociation constants (KD) for IgMO4/Sulf and IgMO1/GalC binding.
