Immunoassay methods are generally used for measuring of allergenic substances. However, they need special facilities, skilled handling, and time-consuming procedure. In this work, a fiber-optic immunoassay system which could measure allergen by fluorescent intensities of immune complexes formed by allergens and fluorescently labeled antibodies was established. Immune complexes absorbed on the optical fiber probe surface, and excitation light was injected into the probe, then evanescent field is created in the proximity of the probe. The fluorophores were excited by the evanescent light, and fluorescence was detected by a photo diode. The target allergen detected by our system wasDer f1 derived fromDermatophagoides farinaethat is one of the house dust mite and major source of inhaled allergens. The fluorophore used labeling on detecting antibody was cyanine 5. The system enabled to detect and quantitatively determine ofDer f1. The measurement range was from 0.24 to 250 ng/ml, and the result competes with ELISA. The measurement time was 16 min/sample. The immunoassay system was applied to measurement ofDer f1 from actual dust samples. Calculated values ofDer f1 showed good correlations between the fiber-optic fluoroimmunoassay and ELISA.
