Abstract
Biosensors are chemical sensors that take advantage of the high selectivity, and sensitivity of a biologically active material. The objective of the research described here is to use biosensor technology to develop a rapid method for the diagnosis of tuberculosis and other infections caused by mycobacteria. The work encompassed here describes the construction of antibody-based piezoelectric crystals capable of detecting mycobacterial antigens in diluted cultures of attenuated M. tuberculosis in an immunologically specific manner. The antigens were detected 4n either liQuid or vapor phaseDownloads
