In Situ Detection of Chromogranin A Released from Living Neurons with a Single-Walled Carbon-Nanotube Field-Effect Transistor

Transistors tune in: The chromogranin A (CgA) released from the synaptic terminal of cortical neurons can be detected in situ by immobilization of an antibody against CgA on a single‐walled carbon‐nanotube field‐effect transistor (see picture), to give a device with high selectivity, sensitivity, an...

Zusammenfassung:Transistors tune in: The chromogranin A (CgA) released from the synaptic terminal of cortical neurons can be detected in situ by immobilization of an antibody against CgA on a single‐walled carbon‐nanotube field‐effect transistor (see picture), to give a device with high selectivity, sensitivity, and real‐time detection capability. This biosensory technique can be used to study the activity of individual living neurons.
