An immunosensing system based on a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) is presented for the selection of both antigen specific recombinant antibodies and antigen specific human pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (hPSTI) mutants isolated from large phage libraries. The QCM was integrated into a flow injection analysis system for the straightforward analysis of large sample numbers. Measurements were performed using a biotinylated antigen immobilized by streptavidin onto the gold surface of the quartz crystal and phages displaying recombinant antibodies or hPSTI mutants. The results obtained by the QCM were in accordance to those of a well established enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Therefore, the QCM is well suited for the detection of single high affinity clones isolated from large phage display libraries.
