BACKGROUND Thyroxine (T4) is the most commonly measured thyroid hormone for the diagnosis of thyroid function. To elucidate a rapid and sensitive assay for T4, we made a microfluidics-based noncompetitive immunodetection chip system using anti-T4 antibody fragments obtained from a phage display library. RESULTS Based on the open-sandwich ELISA principle that detects antigen-dependency of the interaction between the two antibody variable regions V(H) and V(L), we could detect less than 1 ng/ml of T4. The assay was also successfully applied to evaluate total T4 concentration in the serum of healthy individuals. CONCLUSION This would be the first micro open-sandwich ELISA constructed with antibody fragments directly selected from immunized mice. The system will be applied to the sensitive detection of many diagnostic markers.
