Abstract
A homogeneous enzyme Immunoassay Is described for the determination of drug antlbodles. The method Is based upon inhlbitlon of the enzyme actlvity of an enzyme-antigen conjugate by the correspondlng antlbody that Is to be measured. The activity Is monitored by amperometrlc detection of fhe rate of NADH oxidation at a platinum electrode. The technique Is Illustrated by uslng the lldocalne-antl-lldocalne system and ylelds callbration curves at nanogram levels of antlbody with absolute sensltlvlty dependent upon the original amount of enzyme-antlgen conjugate. Interferences such as protein adsorption and antl-qulnidine cross-reactivity are shown to have mlnlmal effect on the assay, whlch has a precislon of 5%.
