Coating of substrates with polyelectrolyte multilayers terminated with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) followed by activation of the free -COOH groups of PAA provides a surface that readily reacts with amine groups to allow covalent immobilization of antibodies. The use of this procedure to prepare arrays of antibodies in porous alumina supports facilitates construction of a flow-through system for analysis of fluorescently labeled antigens. Detection limits in the analysis of Cy5-labeled IgG are 0.02 ng/mL because of the high surface area of the alumina membrane, and the minimal diameter of the substrate pores results in binding limited by kinetics, not mass transport. Moreover, PAA-terminated films resist nonspecific protein adsorption, so blocking of antibody arrays with bovine serum albumin is not necessary. These microarrays are capable of effective analysis in 10% fetal bovine serum.
