    摘要: A sensor device is provided for detecting an analyte in a sample in which an analyte is bound to a detection reagent to form a bound complex. The device comprises (a) a sample (5) comprising an ionic analyte and a detection reagent in a conductive fluid, wherein the detection reagent has a net charge different from the analyte; (b) a first permeable polymeric hydrogel plate (3) and a first spacer plate (8), which plates provide a compartment for the sample; (c) an anode (1) juxtaposed to the outside of the first hydrogel plate and not in contact with the sample; (d) a cathode (9) juxtaposed to the outside of the first spacer plate and not in contact with the sample; (e) a voltage generator (10) to apply an electric potential to the anode and cathode; and (f) a detector (11). The bound complex formed from the analyte and detection reagent is detected by the detector because the bound complex has a charge that causes it to migrate in a direction opposite from that of the unbound analyte when the electric potential is applied. The present invention further methods for new rapid clinical uses such as for pap smears, diagnosis of sexually transmitted diseases, diagnoses of skin cancers, diagnosis of oral cancers and monitoring lymphocytes.

    摘要: The present invention relates to methods for enhancing fertility by reducing the activities and/or levels of circulating glycoprotein hormones having lutropin (LH) activity. The molecules of the invention are antibodies or other binding agents that reduce the biological activities of LH. The present invention also relates to novel methods for devising and/or selecting antibodies to specific portions of proteins including LH and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) to permit their biological activities to be reduced to desired degrees. The present invention also relates to the preparation of single subunit gonadotropins and gonadotropin antagonists for use in stimulating and inhibiting fertility and for controlling ovarian hyperstimulation. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention pertains to a method for stimulating fertility in mammals by reducing the activity of glycoprotein hormones having luteinizing hormone activity in circulation and thereby stimulating the production of follicle stimulating hormone which comprises administering to the mammal a therapeutically effective amount of a binding agent that binds luteinizing hormone.

    摘要: This invention provides a quantitative assay for determining the amount of a biologically active ligand selected from the group consisting of human chorionic gonadotropin and luetinizing hormone present in a sample comprising contacting the sample with both the receptor to which the ligand naturally binds in order to effect its biologicaly activity and a monoclonal antibody directed to the ligand or to a complex of the ligand and the receptor so as to form a complex of the ligand bound to both the receptor, at the site to which the ligand naturally binds to the receptor, and the monoclonal antibody. In the complex so formed, either the receptor or the monoclonal antibody is labeled with a detectable marker and a determination is made of the amount of labeled receptor or of labeled monoclonal antibody bound to the ligand or the amount of labeled receptor or of labeled monoclonal antibody not bound to the ligand, or both such amounts.This invention further provides a quantitative assay for determining the amount present in a sample of a receptor to which a biologically acitve ligand selected from the group consisting of human chorionic gonadotropin and luetinizing hormone naturally binds in order to effect its biological activity. Finally, this invention provides kits for quantitatively assaying for the amount present in a sample of a biologically active ligand or for a receptor to which the ligand naturally binds in order to effect its biological activity.
