Expression, purification and refolding of full length MMP-9 active form in E. coli BL21.
Immobilization of anti-MMP-9 onto CMD chip surface via amine groups through EDC/NHS.
Analysis of AFM images showed successful attachment of anti-MMP-9 onto the sensor surface.
Detection of MMP-9 was designed in the range of 10-200 ng/mL with high sensitivity (LOD 8 pg/mL).
Performance of SPR immunosensor was tested using saliva sample with average recovery of 94%.
