Orientation of surface immobilized capture proteins, such as antibodies, plays a critical role in the performance of immunoassays. The sensitivity of immunodiagnostic procedures is dependent on presentation of the antibody, with optimum performance requiring the antigen binding sites be directed toward the solution phase. This review describes the most recent methods for oriented antibody immobilization and the characterization techniques employed for investigation of the antibody state. The introduction describes the importance of oriented antibodies for maximizing biosensor capabilities. Methods for improving antibody binding are discussed, including surface modification and design (with sections on surface treatments, three-dimensional substrates, self-assembled monolayers, and molecular imprinting), covalent attachment (including targeting amine, carboxyl, thiol and carbohydrates, as well as click chemistries), and (bio) affinity techniques (with sections on material binding peptides, biotin-streptavidin interaction, DNA directed immobilization, Protein A and G, Fc binding peptides, aptamers, and metal affinity). Characterization techniques for investigating antibody orientation are discussed, including x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, spectroscopic ellipsometry, dual polarization interferometry, neutron reflectometry, atomic force microscopy, and time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry. Future perspectives and recommendations are offered in conclusion. (C) 2017 Author(s).
