(a) Sketch of the gold-coated fibre used to detect HER2 molecules (in red) through SPR, with antibody amplification in a sandwich configuration (in green). Thiolated aptamers are immobilized on the gold surface to target HER2. (b) SPR-dip minimum shift as a function of time in phosphate buffer saline (PBS), HER2 proteins, and PBS after the immersion in HER2 solution. (c) SPR-dip minimum shift as a function of time in PBS, in antibodies (anti-HER2), and in PBS after amplification. Each curve represents one probe per test.
