Article Synopsis
- Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) plays a crucial role in the immune response by activating the complement system and influencing various diseases, including brain ischemia and infections.
- Developing a new nanoplasmonic assay to detect MBL levels in human serum quickly and efficiently, this method utilizes gold nanorods functionalized with mannose for enhanced detection capabilities.
- The assay demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity, allowing MBL detection as low as 160 ng/mL in just 15 minutes, paving the way for rapid diagnostics and monitoring in clinical settings.
