Abstract

Ultrasensitive bioanalytical assays are of great value for early detection of human diseases and pathogens. The sensitivities of immunoassays and DNA probing can be enhanced by multilabeling the biorecognition partner used for affinity-based assays. However, the bioreactivity of biomolecules is affected by a high degree of multilabeling at multiple functional sites. It is proposed that dendritic scaffoldings be used to link multiple signal- ...
