Detection of immune reaction by surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy: A mini-review
Kamilla Malek and Ewelina Wiercigroch


Abstract

This paper presents the recent progress in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy combined with immunochemical strategy in the detection of disease markers. The design and fabrication of immunoSERS labels are discussed in terms of their bioanalytical applications in ex vivo and in vitro screening of immune markers. We concisely discuss the sensing capability of immunoSERS for clinical-based translation. © Anita Publications. All rights reserved.
