Table 1. Comparison of Kds.
The dissociation constant (Kd) between CXCR4QTY and its binding partners obtained from device models agree with those from biological assays. GFET, graphene-based field-effect transistor.
| Ligand | Biological assay (nM)* | GFET device test (nM) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Native | QTY | Langmuir fitting model | |
| CXCL12 buffer | ∼5 | 17.3 ± 4.2 | 20.1 ± 9.1 |
| CXCL12 serum† | 31.4 ± 12.2 | 24.8 ± 13.0 | |
| gp41–120 buffer | ∼200‡ | 7.0 ± 1.9 | 5.8 ± 3.1 |
| gp41–120 serum† | 12.7 ± 2.6 | 19.1 ± 6.1 | |
*Kd values from biological assays were obtained from our previously published paper (16).
†Because of the technical implementation, biological assays were conducted in 50% human serum, while the device tests were conducted in 100% human serum.
‡Kd between native CXCR4 and HIV coat glycoprotein was measured by a cell-based assay.
