Abstract

A protein monolayer of bovin serum albumin (BSA) was stabilized at the air- water interface using glutaraldehyde (GA). The GA-treated BSA film was transferred onto the glass surface, followed by immunochemical lamination of anti-BSA antibody. Protein A-β-galactosidase (pro A-β-gal) conjugate was then reacted with the antibody molecular layer. Biofunctional protein films can be prepared on the BSA base Langmuir-Blodgett film by intermolecular complementary affinity between the proteins concerned.
