Abstract
Immunological microarrays (biochips) for detecting erythrocyte surface antigens, viz., blood group antigens (A, B, 0) and Rhesus system antigens (D, E, e, C, and c), are described. The biochips represent transparent plastic supports onto which 1.5-mm spots of specific immobilized antibodies (IgM) are coated in different dilutions. The volume of tested blood samples is rather small (1–2 μl). Binding of erythrocytes to antibodies immobilized on the biochips is specific and allows further morphological analysis of bound cells. Analysis of the dynamics of cell detachment from biochip spots using a microfluidic chamber at different flow rates of the washing solution showed that combination of a biochip with a microfluidic chamber is a promising approach to concentration of cells of various immunotypes even if their content in the mixture is very low.
