A novel detection system that combines the merits of open-sandwich (OS) enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay (ELISA) and a microfluidic sensor chip system, and which enables rapid and noncompetitive immunodetection of small antigens of less than 1000 in molecular weight, has been proposed. Equipped with a sensitive thermal lens microscope, a minute amount of the carboxyl-terminal peptide of human osteocalcin (BGP), a biomarker for bone metabolism, was quantified utilizing antigen-dependent stabilization of an antibody variable region (OS principle). In a short analysis time (similar to 12 min), we could attain a detection limit comparable to that of the microplate-based OS ELISA (1 mu g L-1). In addition, the effects of several pretreatments for serum-derived samples were investigated: an albumin absorption resin, addition of a protease inhibitor cocktail and heat treatment. Each pretreatment was found to be effective. Consequently, intrinsic BGP and its fragments could be detected in healthy human serum with a superior detection limit and working range compared to those of the conventional competitive ELISA method.
