Özet

Neopterin (Neo) is thought of as a key biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of a wide variety of diseases associated with cellular immune response. Therefore, it has become a vital need to be able to specifically determine the Neo concentration in human serum. Molecularly imprinted cryogels have come into prominence among other affinity systems by combining advantages of Molecular Imprinting Technology (MIT) and cryogels. In this chapter, synthesis of novel Neopterin-imprinted cryogel membranes (Neo-mip), characterization studies of synthesized materials, and their use in the determination of Neo in human serum is described in detail. In addition, the evaluation of selective Neo adsorption properties of Neo-mip against competitors (Pterin and Glucose) is discussed. Neo-mip will come into prominence as important affinity materials for the selective Neo recognition in body fluids, prior to use in the health sector. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
