Here we report the synthesis of 2-5 nm size gold nanoparticle labels for surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) based immunoassay to detect protein molecules. The Au nanoparticles were conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and goat anti-h-IgG (immunoglobin) and the resultant particles were used for the detection of h-IgG. Commercially available nitrocellulose strip and silver enhancement method were used for SERS-based immunoassays. The FITC acts as a Raman probe, and vibrational fingerprint of this molecule was used for the detection of h-IgG in concentration ranging from 1 to 100 ng/mu l. Our Raman probe is robust and small in size and has high water solubility with minimum steric effect during antigen-antibody binding. Copyright (c) 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
