TY - THES U1 - Dissertation / Habilitation A1 - Lange, Julia T1 - Spezifisch bindende magnetische Nanopartikel in magnetischen Relaxationsmessungen N2 - keine Angaben N2 - The aim of this study was to show the suitability of a new SQUID-based technique, called magnetorelaxometry, for the specific detection of binding reactions in vitro and its potential in vivo. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) modified with biologically active molecules are utilised as probes. The method is based on the magnetisation of MNPs in a magnetic field and the following detection of their relaxing magnetisation. The specificity of the method depends on the difference of the magnetic relaxation mechanism of MNPs in a liquid phase and immobilised particles. In a liquid phase the particles relax as whole in the surrounding fluid (brownian relaxation). Is the mobility of the magnetic nanoparticles reduced, the magnetisation of the sample decays via the NĂ©el relaxation mechanism. A preparation method for streptavidin- and antibody-conjugated MNPs was developed. Binding reactions in homogeneous and heterogeneous phases were studied. Therefore solid-and liquid-phase immunoassays, magnetic relaxation immunoassays (MARIAs), were established and compared to well-established ELISAs and particles size measurements. Magnetic nanoparticle relaxation measurements provided an increased detection limit compared to particle size measurements and a slightly reduced detection limit compared to ELISA. The in vivo applicability of the method was proven. Furthermore a new magneto-optical in vitro method was developed, that is based on the measurement of the relaxation of the birefringence of magnetised MNPs.
