Dual enzyme labels for simultaneous heterogeneous enzyme-linked competitive binding assays

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay Competitive Binding Inhibition

Solid phase enzyme-linked competitive binding assay for riboflavin.

A new solid-phase enzyme-linked assay for riboflavin (vitamin B2) is described. The assay is based on the competition between analyte vitamin molecules and a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-3-carboxymethylriboflavin conjugate for a limited number of riboflavin-binding protein sites immobilized on Sepharose particles. Significant improvements in conjugate catalytic activity and thus detectabil...

H9mogeneous Enzyme-linked Competitive Binding Assay for Riboflavin

A rapid and precise homogeneous enzyme-linked competitive binding assay for riboflavin (vitamin Bz) is described. The method utilizes a malate dehydrogenase/3-carboxymethylriboflavin conjugate in conjunction with soluble riboflavin binding protein. In the absence of the vitamin, the catalytic activity of the enzyme/riboflavin conjugate is inhibited up to 71% by the binding protein. In the prese...

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for Z-DNA.

Dot blot and transblot enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (e.l.i.s.a.) are described which provide sensitive non-radioactive methods for screening Z-DNA-specific antisera and for detecting Z-DNA in polydeoxyribonucleotides and supercoiled plasmids. In the alkaline phosphatase dot blot e.l.i.s.a., Z-DNA, Br-poly(dG-dC).poly(dG-dC), or B-DNA, poly(dG-dC).poly(dG-dC), poly(dA-dT).poly(dA-dT), Br-p...

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for cholera serology.

The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) principle of Engvall and Perlmann, which employs antigen-coated tubes and enzyme-labeled anti-immunoglobulins, was elaborated for use in cholera serology. Immunoglobulin class-specific determinations of primary binding titers of antibodies to cholera exotoxin and endotoxin were more sensitive than were neutralization and vibriocidal tests. It was no...
