Measurement of low-affinity protein–protein interactions is challenging; surface plasmon resonance requires high concentrations of reagents. Here the authors combine magneto-nanosensors with microfluidic chips and protein-conjugated magnetic nanoparticles to discover a low-affinity interaction between T-cell inhibitory receptors PD-L1 and PD-L2.
