- optical part refers to a part where a light is projected and an evanescent wave and a surface plasmon can be induced.
- the surface plasmon resonance biosensor according to the present invention comprises the measuring cell.
- FIG. 5 is a schematic view of one embodiment of the surface plasmon resonance biosensor according to the present invention.

- the upper side of cartridge block 7 has a hollow and this hollow and measuring chip 10 construct measuring cell 71 .
- the body of measuring chip 10 comprises a transparent substrate, and a layer comprising a metal thin-film, a plasma polymerization layer formed under said metal film.
- a physiologically active substance is immobilized on the surface of said plasma polymerization layer facing the hollow of cartridge block 7 .
- Measuring cell 71 is constructed from the hollow of cartridge block 7 and measuring chip 10 ; and cartridge block 7 has flow routes 72 and 73 providing passages to the outside of measuring cell 71 and cartridge block 7 , which makes measuring cell 71 a flow-cell type.
- the present invention is not restricted to this type and a batch type cell can also be used. Using measuring cell 71 of this flow-cell type, a sample can be measured either continuously or intermittently.
- the sample flows into measuring cell 71 via flow route 72 and is discharged after measurement via flow route 73 .
- the flow rate of the sample is preferably 0. 5 to 5 ⁇ l/min.
- the flow rate is controlled, for example, using a computer-operated pump.
- Monochromatic light (incident light 80 ) is irradiated from light source 8 toward the optical part of measuring chip 10 and its reflected light 90 , which is reflected by metal thin-film 2 set on the reverse side of measuring chip 10 , reaches detector 9 .
- Detector 9 can detect the intensity of reflected light 90 .
- Light source 8 and detector 9 are not particularly restricted, and can be any types customarily used for a surface plasmon resonance biosensor.
- the incident light is wedge-shaped and the light reflected in different directions can be measured simultaneously.
- the present invention is not restricted to this type of sensor. The configuration of this type does not require a mobile part, thereby producing excellent stability and durability, and enabling real time measurement of samples as well.
- the configuration as described above yields a reflected light intensity curve that forms a trough relative to a given angle of incidence (see FIG. 6 ).
- the trough in the reflected light intensity curve is due to surface plasmon resonance. Namely, when light is totally reflected at the interface between the transparent substrate and the exterior of measuring chip 10 , a surface wave known as an evanescent wave is generated at the interface and a surface wave known as a surface plasmon is also generated on the metal thin-film. Resonance occurs when the wave number of these two surface waves coincides and a part of light energy is consumed to excite the surface plasmon, resulting in a decrease in the intensity of the reflected light.
- the wave number of the surface plasmon is affected by the refractive index of the medium proximate to the surface of the metal thin-film. Therefore, when the refractive index of the medium changes due to an interaction between the substance to be measured and the physiologically active substance, a surface plasmon resonance is induced to change the angle of incidence. Thus, a change in the concentration of the substance to be measured can be perceived by a shift of the trough in the reflected light intensity curve.
- the change in the angle of incidence is called a resonance signal and a change of 10 ⁇ 4 degree is expressed as 1 RU.
- highly effective and reliable measurement can be done if measuring chip 10 is made to be freely attachable and detachable and disposable. Furthermore, if a covalent bond layer is provided between the plasma polymerization layer and the physiologically active substance, measuring chip 10 can be used repeatedly by washing the inside of measuring cell 71 , resulting in a decrease in the cost.

Abstract
An objective of the present invention is to provide a measuring chip for a surface plasmon resonance sensor that can detect a small amount of target substances in high sensitivity. The present invention provides a measuring chip for a surface plasmon resonance sensor comprising a metal layer, one or more plasma polymerization layers formed on said metal layer, and a biologically active substance immobilized on the surface of said plasma polymerization layer.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a surface plasmon resonance biosensor, specifically, a measuring chip for the same and a method for producing the measurement chip.
- 2. Background Art
- A number of methods using immunological reactions are used in clinical tests for detecting target substances. Conventional methods are known to be intricate and require labeling substances. Thus, immunological sensors using a surface plasmon resonance biosensor (SPR) is being used, in which no labeling substance is required and a ligand can be detected with high sensitivity. This surface plasmon resonance biosensor is based on the phenomenon that the intensity of a monochromatic light reflected from the interface between an optically transparent substance such as glass and a metal thin-film layer is dependent on the refractive index of a sample placed on the reflecting side of the metal. Accordingly, a sample can be analyzed by measuring the intensity of the reflected monochromatic light.
- An optical part of a measuring cell for this surface plasmon resonance (surface plasmon resonance biosensor) has a structure shown in
FIG. 2 . Namely,porous material 5 is formed on metal thin-film 2 formed onglass substrate 1, and physiologicallyactive substance 4, such as an enzyme or antibody, is retained or immobilized on the surface or inside ofporous material 5. Examples ofporous material 5 to be used include weaved, knitted or non-woven cloths made of synthetic fibers, natural fibers, inorganic fibers or the like, and porous inorganic or organic materials (see Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 164195/1991). Furthermore, carboxymethyl dextran is used as a porous material in a commercial product (BIAcore 2000, Pharmacia Biosensor). - However, physiologically
active substance 4 just exists on the surface ofporous material 5 and interacts with target substances. - LB (Langmuir-Blodgett) method is occasionally used to immobilize physiologically
active substance 4 on metal thin-film 2 (see Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 288672/1993). However, this method has a disadvantage in that LB membrane binds poorly to a metal thin-film and peels off together with the physiologically active substance. - Furthermore, Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 264843/1997 discloses measuring cells for a surface plasmon resonance biosensor.
- The present inventors have now found that sensitivity of a measuring chip for a surface plasmon resonance sensor is extremely improved when only a small amount of a physiologically active substance is immobilized on a specific plasma polymerization layer.
- An objective of the present invention is to provide a measuring chip for a surface plasmon resonance sensor that can detect a small amount of target substances in high sensitivity.
- Another objective of the present invention is to provide a measuring cell for a surface plasmon resonance sensor that can detect a small amount of target substances in high sensitivity.
- Further objective of the present invention is to provide a method for producing said measuring chip.
- The present invention provides a measuring chip for a surface plasmon resonance sensor comprising a metal layer and one or more plasma polymerization layers formed on said metal layer.
- The present invention also provides a measuring chip for a surface plasmon resonance sensor comprising a metal layer, one or more plasma polymerization layers formed on said metal layer, and a biologically active substance immobilized on the surface of said plasma polymerization layer.
- The present invention also provides a measuring cell for a surface plasmon resonance sensor comprising said measuring chip.
- The present invention also provides a method for producing a measuring chip for a surface plasmon resonance sensor comprising the steps of forming a metal layer on an optically transparent substrate, forming one or more plasma polymerization layers on said metal layer, and then immobilizing a biologically active substance on the surface of said plasma polymerization layer.

Plasma polymerization layer 3 can be formed by plasma treatment to a resulting plasma layer with a polymeric or non-polymeric monomer. Examples of such non-polymeric monomer material include nitrogen, ammonium, hydrazine, hydrogensulfide, hydrogendisulfide, oxygen, hydrogen, water, halogen gas, and rare gas (e.g., argon, neon, helium, krypton, and xenon). - Furthermore, a mixture of various kinds of monomer materials can be used as a monomer material.
Plasma polymerization layer 3 can also be formed by lamination techniques and optionally using a mixture as a monomer material. -
Plasma polymerization layer 3 of the present invention has the following advantages: - 1) The layer is pinhole-free, amorphous, and dense.
- 2) A thin homogeneous layer down to about 500 angstroms can be made, which exhibits extremely little fluctuation in its refractive index.
- 3) By changing the kind of plasma gas, not only a change in the thickness of the layer but also surface modification and surface improvement, such as introduction of functional groups, and control of the density of the functional groups to be introduced can be attained.
- 4) The layer can be formed in combination with semiconductor techniques since it is formed under dry conditions.
- 5) The layer has excellent drug tolerance, heat tolerance, mechanical properties, and stability.
- Furthermore, in the case of a sensor chip for SPR, in which a metal thin-film is essential, the metal thin-film and the plasma polymerization layer can be formed in the same chamber. Thus, the manufacturing process can be simplified.
- It is also advantageous to attain surface improvement, such as introduction of a functional group, by further exposing a resulting plasma polymerization layer to plasma treatment with a non-polymeric or polymeric monomer. The plasma polymerization treatment is intended to include a treatment with not only a non-polymeric monomer and an inactive monomer but also a polymeric monomer.

active substance 4 to be immobilized is not particularly limited, provided it reacts interacts with a target substance to be measured. Examples of physiologicallyactive substance 4 include nucleic acids (e.g., DNA, RNA, and PNA); non-immune proteins (e.g., avidin (streptoavidin), biotin or a receptor); immunoglobulin-binding proteins (e.g., protein A, protein G and a rheumatoid factor (RF)); sugar-binding proteins (e.g., lectin); sugar-recognizing sugar chains; fatty acids or fatty acid esters (e.g., stearic acid, alachidic acid, behenic acid, ethyl stearate, ethyl arachidate, and ethyl behanate); polypeptides or oligopeptides having ligand binding activity; immune proteins (e.g., an antibody); and enzyme. - When an antibody is used as physiologically
active substance 4, Fc fragments of the antibody can be immobilized only on the surface ofplasma polymerization layer 3 and the antibody is formed in a monomolecular layer as shown inFIG. 1 . However, since the sensitivity and the reaction rate decrease as Fab fragments of the antibody are separated fromplasma polymerization layer 3, Fab fragments (FIG. 3 (a)) or F(ab′)2 fragments (FIG. 3 (b)) can be immobilized directly onplasma polymerization layer 3 as shown inFIG. 3 to improve the sensitivity and the reaction rate. - The thickness of physiologically
active substance 4 depends on the size of the physiologically active substance itself, but is preferably 100 to 3000 angstroms, most preferably 100 to 1000 angstroms. - In the present invention, the physiologically active substance can be immobilized on the plasma polymerization layer through linking agents.

- The measuring chip according to the present invention can be formed as follows:
- First, metal thin-
film 2 is formed ontransparent substrate 1. Metal thin-film 2 can be formed by conventional methods such as sputtering, CVD, PVD, or vacuum evaporation. - Second,
plasma polymerization layer 3 is formed on metal thin-film 2.Plasma polymerization layer 3 can be formed by plasma polymerization using a plasma polymerization apparatus. The rate of plasma formation is preferably 100 to 3000 angstroms/min, most preferably 500 to 1000 angstroms/min. If the rate exceeds 3000 angstroms/min, it becomes difficult to obtain a smooth plasma polymerization layer. More specifically, the plasma 35 polymerization can be preferably carried out at a monomer material flow rate of 0.05 to 100 sccm at a room temperature or at a temperature of 10 to 20° C. at a pressure between 1.0×10−2 and 1.0×102 Pa using a discharge power of 20 to 300 W at a discharge frequency of 10 MHz or 13.56 MHz. However, polymerization conditions are not restricted to the conditions above. - After formation of
plasma polymerization layer 3, physiologicallyactive substance 4 is finally immobilized onplasma polymerization layer 3. Immobilization can be done by conventional methods. For example, a specified amount of physiologicallyactive substance 4 can be immobilized by contacting it withplasma polymerization layer 3 for a specified period of time. If the measuring cell is a flow-cell type, a specified volume of the physiologicallyactive substance 4 can be immobilized by contacting it withplasma polymerization layer 3 by pouring a specified volume for a specified period of time. - When an antibody is used as a physiologically active substance and its Fab fragment is immobilized directly on
plasma polymerization layer 3, the same treatment can be done after the antibody is partly digested with papain. On the other hand, when the F(ab′)2 fragment is immobilized directly onplasma polymerization layer 3, the same treatment can be done after the antibody is partly digested with pepsin. - When
covalent bond layer 6 is formed, a cross-linking reagent or a condensation reagent is allowed to be in contact withplasma polymerization layer 3 in the same manner as withactive substance 4, after whichsubstance 4 can be immobilized. - The measuring cell for a surface plasmon resonance sensor according to the present invention comprises the measuring chip. The measuring chip can be mounted on an optical part to be optically analyzed. The term “optical part” as used herein refers to a part where a light is projected and an evanescent wave and a surface plasmon can be induced.
- The surface plasmon resonance biosensor according to the present invention comprises the measuring cell.
-
FIG. 5 is a schematic view of one embodiment of the surface plasmon resonance biosensor according to the present invention. The surface plasmon resonance biosensor hascartridge block 7,light source 8, and detector 9 and measuringchip 10 is mounted oncartridge block 7. The upper side ofcartridge block 7 has a hollow and this hollow and measuringchip 10construct measuring cell 71. - The body of measuring
chip 10 comprises a transparent substrate, and a layer comprising a metal thin-film, a plasma polymerization layer formed under said metal film. A physiologically active substance is immobilized on the surface of said plasma polymerization layer facing the hollow ofcartridge block 7. Measuringcell 71 is constructed from the hollow ofcartridge block 7 and measuringchip 10; andcartridge block 7 hasflow routes cell 71 andcartridge block 7, which makes measuring cell 71 a flow-cell type. However, the present invention is not restricted to this type and a batch type cell can also be used. Using measuringcell 71 of this flow-cell type, a sample can be measured either continuously or intermittently. In this sensor, the sample flows into measuringcell 71 viaflow route 72 and is discharged after measurement viaflow route 73. The flow rate of the sample is preferably 0. 5 to 5 μl/min. The flow rate is controlled, for example, using a computer-operated pump. - Monochromatic light (incident light 80) is irradiated from
light source 8 toward the optical part of measuringchip 10 and its reflectedlight 90, which is reflected by metal thin-film 2 set on the reverse side of measuringchip 10, reaches detector 9. Detector 9 can detect the intensity of reflectedlight 90.Light source 8 and detector 9 are not particularly restricted, and can be any types customarily used for a surface plasmon resonance biosensor. In the sensor according to the present invention, the incident light is wedge-shaped and the light reflected in different directions can be measured simultaneously. However, the present invention is not restricted to this type of sensor. The configuration of this type does not require a mobile part, thereby producing excellent stability and durability, and enabling real time measurement of samples as well. - The configuration as described above yields a reflected light intensity curve that forms a trough relative to a given angle of incidence (see
FIG. 6 ). The trough in the reflected light intensity curve is due to surface plasmon resonance. Namely, when light is totally reflected at the interface between the transparent substrate and the exterior of measuringchip 10, a surface wave known as an evanescent wave is generated at the interface and a surface wave known as a surface plasmon is also generated on the metal thin-film. Resonance occurs when the wave number of these two surface waves coincides and a part of light energy is consumed to excite the surface plasmon, resulting in a decrease in the intensity of the reflected light. The wave number of the surface plasmon is affected by the refractive index of the medium proximate to the surface of the metal thin-film. Therefore, when the refractive index of the medium changes due to an interaction between the substance to be measured and the physiologically active substance, a surface plasmon resonance is induced to change the angle of incidence. Thus, a change in the concentration of the substance to be measured can be perceived by a shift of the trough in the reflected light intensity curve. The change in the angle of incidence is called a resonance signal and a change of 10−4 degree is expressed as 1 RU. In the surface plasmon resonance biosensor of this example, highly effective and reliable measurement can be done if measuringchip 10 is made to be freely attachable and detachable and disposable. Furthermore, if a covalent bond layer is provided between the plasma polymerization layer and the physiologically active substance, measuringchip 10 can be used repeatedly by washing the inside of measuringcell 71, resulting in a decrease in the cost. - The surface plasmon resonance biosensor of the present invention can be used for quantitative or qualitative analysis, identification of a target substance present in a sample.
