We present fluoroimmunoassays on plain metal-coated surfaces (metal mirrors) enhanced by metal nanoparticles (silver island films [SIFs]). Metal mirrors (aluminum, gold, or silver protected with a thin silica layer) were coated with SIFs, and an immunoassay (model assay for rabbit immunoglobulin G or myoglobin immunoassay) was performed on this surface using fluorescently labeled antibodies. Our results showed that SIFs alone (on glass surface not coated with metal) enhance the immunoassay signal approximately 3- to 10-fold. Using a metal mirror instead of glass as support for SIFs results in up to 50-fold signal enhancement. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
