Error Corrected Sub-Monolayer Ellipsometry for Measurement of Biomolecular Interactions

" Already in 1946 Alexandre Rothen from the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, New York published the use of ellipsometry for the measurement of antigen-antibody interactions. And he found some effects that could not be explained by the assumption that the interaction of the molecules is only of chemical nature. 55 years later we started research on antibody-antigen interaction and found similar results. ... With such type of error corrected instrumentation we found, that there must be an interaction between antigens and antibodies that is based on longitudinal electromagnetic waves, which are able to work through thin 7 nm membranes. A similar interaction is found for the virus-antigen interaction." {Credits 1}

" We think that there is not only a non-chemical interaction between antibodies and antigens; we think a lot of other 'biochemical' interactions are based on electrodynamics. At the moment we are developing a theory on an electrodynamic information transfer between antibodies and cells with help of messenger molecules." {Credits 1}
