Abstract:
A new sense-and-act system was realized by integrating a biocatalytic/bioaffinity electrode responding to immune signals represented by an antibody and a polymer-modified electrode loaded with drug-mimicking species. The release of the drug-mimicking species was achieved specifically in response to a signal antibody, thus demonstrating for the first time an immune-induced drug-releasing process. The present approach promises new options for future applications in controlled drug release and personalized medicine.
