摘要:
A novel signal amplification system for immunoassays that minimizes non-specific signals is disclosed. Immunoassay methods, reagents and test kits are described for obtaining immunoassays of enhanced sensitivity. The reagents include antibody-variant DNA conjugates, wherein the variant DNA is a substrate for an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, such as, QB replicase. Immunoassay methods to detect, or to detect and quantitate, analyte in test samples comprise transcribing the variant DNA of said antibody-DNA conjugates that are bound to analyte, to RNA, and replicating the RNA transcripts, wherein the presence or quantity of variant RNA replication products can be correlated with the presence or quantity of analyte in the test samples. Further, methods are provided to detect, or to detect and quantitate, simultaneously two or more analytes in a test sample.
摘要:
The assay described herein is predicated on an observation that when acridinium ester labeled tracers are bound to their corresponding binding conjugate immobilized on a metal oxide solid phase, the measurable chemiluminescent light emission of the labeled tracer bound to the solid phase is quenched as compared to the free fraction tracer that is unattached to the solid phase. According to the invention, a non-separation specific binding assay to detect or quantify the presence of an analyte is provided where the entire reaction mixture is flashed (including unreacted tracer) and modulated signal (because of the quench effect) is associated with a reference, thus determining the amount or presence of said analyte in said sample. Disadvantages inherent in heterogeneous assays employing multiple separations may be avoided using this non-separation method.
