An immunosensor based on surface plasmon resonance was developed for detection of c-Kit expressed on a cell surface. The combination of the antibody solution modified with gelatin before immobilization to the sensor chip and its blocking with gelatin drastically decreased the nonspecific reaction. The condition may be useful for the detection of various cells by using antibody against cell surface marker including the c-Kit.
