Abstract

When artificial materials come into contact with blood, various biological responses are induced. For successful development of biomaterials used in biomedical devices that will be exposed to blood, understanding and control of these interactions are essential. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy is one of the surface-sensitive optical methods to monitor biological interactions. SPR enables real-time and in situ analysis of interfacial events associated with biomaterials research. In this review, we describe an SPR biosensor and its application to monitor complement activation onto biomaterials surface. We also discuss the effect of surface properties of the material on complement activation.
