The device is fabricated by inert, nontoxic and disposable polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) using a silane-based chemical modification protocol, which yield antibody- terminated PDMS surfaces. In this study, the IX IP device is specifically designed for the purification of carbonylated protein, a representative example here to illustrate the potential applications for any other PTMs, which could be immuno-tagged by specific antibodies. The test model in vitro oxidized bovine serum albumin (BSA) was first derivitized by dinitrophenylhydrazide (DNPH) and then captured by the anti-DNP immobilized on this Ix lP device. The surface functional group mapping was systematically analyzed and validated by fluorescence microscopy. Quantitative study of DNP-derivatized carbonylated protein capture recovery and elution efficiency of the device was also studied. We also envision that this proteome enrichment Ix IP device can be assembled with other lab-on-a-chip components, such as microelectrophoresis or micro-chromatographic devices for follow-up protein analysis. This selective enrichment of modified proteins greatly facilitates the study of low abundant protein biomarkers discovery.展开更多
