ABSTRACT:
A method for enzyme immunoassay for a ligand suspected to be present in a liquid sample includes signal amplification by use of at least two hydrolases and a blocked fluoroketone for one of the hydrolases. Ligand present in the liquid binds to an antiligand and a hydrolase-labeled tracer. The resulting bound fraction is separated and the hydrolase in the tracer removes the blocking group from the blocked fluoroketone. The fluoroketone activates or inhibits a second hydrolase which catalyzes the conversion of a substrate to a product. The presence or absence of the ligand in the liquid is indicated by a signal, such as a color change or a rate of color change, associated with the product. The invention includes a new class of hydrolase inhibitors and blocked fluoroketones and a kit of materials useful for performing the method of the invention.
