Abstract

This study demonstrates the first use of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology for the rapid, sensitive and label-free detection of whole B. anthracis spores. The approach involves the use of an SPR biosensor (Biacore® 3000), and a monoclonal antibody which was raised against the B. anthracis spore (mAb 8G3). By means of subtractive inhibition assays, whole B. anthracis spores with concentrations as low as 104 colony-forming units (CFU) ml−1 can be detected within 40 min, and other related Bacillus spores, even in high concentrations, can be differentiated from B. anthracis spores.
