E-mail: euichoi@hallym.ac.kr <h3>SPECIFIC AIMS</h3> We characterized the properties of the Calixarene derivatives as biolinker molecules in immobilization of proteins, compared the sensitivity and the specificity of Calixcrown with those of five other protein attachment agents, and applied Calixcrown chip to analyze samples found in clinical practices. <h3>PRINCIPAL FINDINGS</h3> <h3>1. Calixcrown chip shows a superior sensitivity and a much lower detection limit than those chips prepared by other methods</h3> We employed a sandwich immunoassay for detection of specific interaction between
