Abstract
The urgent need for antibody detection tools has proven particularly acute in the COVID-19 era. Array-based tools are desirable as methods for assessing broader patterns of antigen-specific responses, as well as for providing information on SARS-CoV-2 immunity in the context of pre-existing immunity to other viruses. To that end, this talk will describe the development of a label-free microarray for rapidly quantifying antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 and other upper respiratory pathogens. The approach is built on Arrayed Imaging Reflectometry (AIR), a label-free detection technique based on the creation and binding-induced degradation of an antireflective coating on the surface of a silicon chip. Performance of the array using a cohort of human samples (convalescent COVID-19 patients and negative controls) along with applications in screening monoclonal antibodies will be discussed.
