Abstract
According to one embodiment, a detection device includes a sensor element and a probe molecule. The probe molecule is immobilized at the sensor element. The probe molecule associates with a receptor exposed at a surface of a detection target. The sensor element detects cleavage of the receptor having associated with the probe molecule.
Claims21
A detection device, comprising:
- a sensor element;
- a phospholipid film provided on a surface of the sensor element;
- and
- a probe molecule immobilized at the sensor element, the probe molecule associating with a receptor exposed at a surface of a detection target,
- the sensor element detecting the detection target depending on whether fusing or not between the phospholipid film and a surface membrane of the detection target having associated with the probe molecule in an acidic liquid.
A detection device, comprising:
- a sensor element;
- a phospholipid film provided on a surface of the sensor element;
- and
- a probe molecule immobilized at the sensor element, the probe molecule associating with a receptor exposed at a surface of a detection target, wherein
- the sensor element detects the detection target by one of penetration of the receptor of the detection target into the phospholipid film, or fusing between the phospholipid film and a surface membrane of the detection target in an acidic liquid.
A detection method, comprising, by a sensor element, detecting a detection target depending on whether fusing or not between a phospholipid film provided on a surface of the sensor element, and a surface membrane of the detection target being associated with a probe molecule immobilized at the sensor element in an acidic liquid.
