In this study a fluorescence immunoassay is performed using a biotin-avidin bridge was used to immobilize biotinylated antibodies to the surface of a silanized fiber optic. The surface chemistry is verified using TIRF (Total Internal Reflectance Fluorescence) and with a fiber optic assembly, which consisting of two fibers joined by a Y-type coupler, The antibody binding sensitivity of the fiber optic configuration is 10-9 M concentration, with a reduced antigen binding sensitivity of 10-6 M concentration. Future studies will examine the fluorescence signal decay due to the immobilization technique and manipulation of antibody paratope orientation by means of alternative surface chemistries.
