Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor for high-throughput screening of protein biomarkers in diluted blood plasma is reported. The biosensor combines a high-resolution SPR imaging sensor and a high-density protein array with low-fouling background. The SPR imaging sensor utilizes polarization contrast and advanced referencing and provides a total of 120 sensing areas (each 200 μm×150 μm). Antibodies are immobilized on the sensing areas via hybridization of antibody-oligonucleotide conjugates to thiolated complementary oligonucleotides microspotted on the sensor surface (DNA-directed immobilization). A low-fouling background is achieved by covalent immobilization of bovine serum albumin to carboxyl-terminated thiols filling the areas among the thiolated oligonucleotides and outside the sensing areas. The biosensor was evaluated for detection of protein biomarkers relevant to cancer diagnostics--human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM) both in buffer and in 10% blood plasma. Limits of detection as low as 45 ng/mL (ALCAM) and 100 ng/mL (hCG) were achieved in blood plasma samples.
