Figure Lengend Snippet: Measuring drug binding interactions on whole single cells using SPRM. A) Schematic of SPRM setup. SPRM light source induces SPR on gold chip containing adhered BXPC3 pancreatic cancer cells. Plasmonic resonance condition, which is extremely sensitive to ligand binding, is recorded by SPRM detector. Anti-ErbB1–3 antibodies, peptides, or small molecules are delivered via an automated microfluidics system though a transparent flow cell that supports both precision sample delivery and bright field optical imaging. B) Bright field image of BXPC3 cells and its corresponding SPRM image. Red squares indicate binding activity. C) Simultaneous cell binding responses from kinetic titration injection series. D) Representative small sampling of anti-ErbB2 SPR sensorgrams with binding responses shown closely fitting the heterogeneous 1:2 kinetic binding model (in red). Arrows indicate the ROI location on the cell where each sensorgram is derived. E) Representative anti-ErbB2 antibody data displaying bivalent interactions. The calculated ka and kd rates from every binding interaction series are collected to form an iso-affinity scatter plot, displaying the heterogeneity of the binding interaction. Gaussian distributions are applied to the histograms along each axis and the diagonal to extract the mean and standard deviation for the ka, kd, and KD values.
