  • Abstract
    We present our preliminary results on the detection of antigen-antibody complexes using terahertz spectroscopy. Our study indicates that a difference between the absorption spectra of pure antibody/antigen and the antibody-antigen complex may be useful for biomedical applications. Furthermore, we introduce a new carrier material, which has several advantages over previously used materials, such as high binding capacity along with high THz transparency.
