Abstract
NAPPA-Based Nanobiosensors for the Detection of Proteins and of Protein-Protein Interactions Relevant to Cancer
Nicola Luigi Bragazzi, Rosanna Spera, Eugenia Pechkova and Claudio Nicolini
In this manuscript, we report some proofs-of-principle and preliminary applications and results regarding the analytical quantification of protein expression of some genes biologically and clinically related to cancer. Experiments have been carried out coupling Nucleic Acid Programmable Protein Array (NAPPA) with a recently improved nanogravimetric apparatus which exploits the quartz crystal microbalance with frequency (QCM_F) and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM_D) technologies. The selected proteins are BRIP1, JUN and ATF2. Clinically relevant implications for cancer are envisaged and discussed, as well as future perspectives and developments.
