Bioanalytical sensors capable of accurately measuring in vivo chemical dynamics of important physiological analytes have been transformative on several fronts, including disease/health management and improved understanding of biological processes. The glucose biosensor, which over the past 35 years has evolved from initial proof-of-concept to an indispensable technology in diabetes management, serves as a paragon of the utility of implantable chemical sensors. 1 Care for critically ill patients (ie, those in the intensive care unit; ICU) has benefited from monitoring of several analyte classes that hold prognostic/diagnostic value, including ions (eg, Na+, K+), gases (O2, CO2), and metabolites (glucose, lactate). 2 A large number of electrochemical sensors have been used to study in vivo dynamics of neurotransmitters, biological gases, and metabolites for more than 40 years. 3 The vast majority of sensors across these areas rely on miniaturized electrochemical or, to a lesser extent, optical probes that meet strict benchtop analytical performance merits required for such measurements (eg, dynamic range, response time, analyte selectivity). Unfortunately, sensor function is often impeded partially or completely for in vivo devices due to the implant-initiated host response.The in vivo environment that a sensor encounters changes with protein adsorption and subsequent cell adhesion. Although the specific progression of biochemical events that occur in the various physiological fluids and tissues is diverse, a shared trait is the ability to recognize the in vivo sensor as foreign and mount a prolonged cellular attack. The end-stage of the host response is remarkably similar, regardless of the location (eg, blood, tissue), culminating in isolation of the implant by formation of thrombi or scar tissue. For many inactive implants (eg, fixation devices), moderate degrees of cellular infiltration and isolation are tolerated without severe detriment to the implant’s intended purpose, and they are thus deemed biocompatible. 4 In contrast, chemical sensors must persist in vivo under a changing physiological environment while providing stable signals that accurately follow the concentration of an analyte. Even moderate cellular presence or isolation will alter analyte transport in the region surrounding the sensor such that the surface concentration of an analyte may not reflect bulk blood/tissue levels. 5 As such, this seemingly insurmountable host response compromises both the accuracy and usable lifetime of all in vivo sensors. Ratner previously defined biocompatibility as the ability of a material to guide a more passive response in which the sensor is not wholly recognized as a foreign body. 6 Many researchers have worked to develop strategies that might reduce the various biological reactions to an in vivo sensor with the goal of improving analytical performance. Unfortunately, a critical void that has not been addressed in the literature is whether mitigating the host response generates perceptible improvements to the in vivo accuracy or usable lifetime of such devices. In this regard, the “analytical biocompatibility” of new chemical strategies should be used to describe improvements to in vivo sensor performance directed at reducing the host response. In this Review, we highlight the individual host responses, as they
