Neuron-based sensors for biochemical quantitation

Using intracellular recording from freshly dissected Limnea stagnalis neurons and cultured clones for mouse neuroblastoma, N-18 and N1E-115, linear relationships between several analyte concentrations and neuron electrical properties, such as action potential, are obtained. This demonstrates the suitability of neurons as primary transducers in neuron-based sensors. Initial development work that will lead to testing cultured neurons for the detection of monoclonal antibodies is reported.<
