  • Patterning of biological molecules was attempted on both gold and glass using fourth generation (G4) poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer as an interfacing layer between solid surfaces and biomolecules. As for the patterning of avidin and anti-biotin antibody on gold, PAMAM dendrimers representing amine functionalities were firstly printed onto the 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid SAM by microcontact printing, followed by biotinylation, and reacted with fluorescence-labeled avidin or anti-biotin antibody. Fluorescence microscopic analysis revealed that the patterns of avidin and anti-biotin antibody were well constructed with the resolution of < 2 ㎛. The PAMAM dendrimers were also printed onto aldehyde-activated slide glass and reacted directly with anti-BSA antibodies, which had been oxidized with sodium periodate. As a result, distinct patterns of the anti-BSA antibodies were also obtained with a comparable edge resolution to that of avidin patterns on gold. These results clearly show that PAMAM dendrimers can be adopted as an interfacing layer for the patterning of biological molecules on solid surfaces with micrometer resolution.

  • We constructed a biospecific affinity surface using hyper-branched dendrimers on gold for biospecific recognition, and characterized the resulting surfaces by using confocal fluorescence microscopy. The dendrimer monolayer was firstly constructed on the mercaptoundecanoic acid SAM/Au with pentafluorophenyl ester activation and further functionalized with sulfo-NHS-biotin, an activated ester of biotin. To confirm the formation of biospecific affinity surface, FITC(fluorescein isothiocyanate)-labeled avidin was loaded onto the biotinylated dendrimer monolayer, and fluorescence images of the bound avidins were investigated with a confocal microscope. The constructed biospecific affinity surface showed a much more dense and uniform fluorescence compared to those from poly-L-lysine- and cystamine SAM-based affinity surfaces. For the dependency on the concentration of added FITC-labeled avidin on the affinity surface, derived fluorescence could be detectable from as low as $1{\mu}g/ml$, and intensified up to $50{\mu}g/ml$. Further reaction of FITC-labeled avidin layer with TMR(tetramethylrhodamine)-biocytins resulted in the efficient FRET(fluorescence resonance energy transfer) phenomenon. As an extension of the study, we attempted a patterning of the affinity surfaces on gold by microcontact printing. Fluorescence of the patterned surface demonstrated that FITC-labeled avidin molecules were specifically bound to the biotinylated patches.

  • A polymeric photobase generator containing oxime-urethane groups is applied to a fluorescence micropatterning material. Polymer bearing oxime-urethane groups was prepared by copolymerization of methyl methacrylate with methacryloyloxyethyl benzophenoneoxime urethane (MBU). The reaction of amino groups in the irradiated copolymer film with dansyl chloride (Dns-Cl) was monitored by using UV absorption, IR absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The fluorescence spectrum of the Dns-Cl-treated irradiated copolymer film shows a strong fluorescence with a fluorescence maximum wavelength at 510 nm. A blue fluorescent micropattern with a line width of $2{\sim}3{\mu}m$ was obtained. Treatment of the irradiated copolymer film with Dns-Cl and rhodamine B mixture led to the formation of green, red, and orange-colored fluorescence micropatterns. Thus, various colored micropatterns on a single polymer film can be obtained by selective excitation of each dye molecules.

  • We presented the modified decal-transfer lithography (DTL) and light stamping lithography (LSL) as new powerful methods to generate patterns of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) on the substrate. The microstructures of PDMS fabricated by covalent binding between PDMS and substrate had played as barrier to locally control wettability. The transfer mechanism of PDMS is cohesive mechanical failure (CMF) in DTL method. In the LSL method, the features of patterned PDMS are physically torn and transferred onto a substrate via UV-induced surface reaction that results in bonding between PDMS and substrate. Additionally we have exploited to generate the patterning of rhodamine B and quantum dots (QDs), which was accomplished by hydrophobic interaction between dyes and PDMS micropatterns. The topological analysis of micropatterning of PDMS were performed by atomic force microscopy (AFM), and the patterning of rhodamine B and quantum dots was clearly shown by optical and fluorescence microscope. Furthermore, it could be applied to surface guided flow patterns in microfluidic device because of control of surface wettability. The advantages of these methods are simple process, rapid transfer of PDMS, modulation of surface wettability, and control of various pattern size and shape. It may be applied to the fabrication of chemical sensor, display units, and microfluidic devices.
