To further verify that the results in Fig. stem from the specific detection of CRP, we conducted another control experiment in which we immobilized anti-NP mAb instead of anti-CRP mAb (Fig. ). In this configuration, it was expected that CRP would not adsorb onto the device. (c). Since the anti-NP mAb immobilized device did not respond to CRP, it can be confidently inferred that the data in Fig. are indicative of the specific binding of CRP.
