ABSTRACT:
Immunoassays employing antibodies and a fluorescer-quencher (F-Q) chromophoric pair, wherein one or both of the chromophoric pair are bonded to antibodies. Depending on the particular ligand of interest, various reagent combinations can be employed, where the amount of quenching is directly related to the amount of ligand present in the assay medium. In carrying out the assay, the unknown and antibody specific for the ligand of interest to which is bound one of the F-Q pair, are combined in an aqueous buffered medium. Depending on the protocol, different assay reagents are employed in the aqueous buffered medium: (1) ligand analog bonded to the other of the F-Q pair; (2) antibodies specific for the ligand to which is bound the other of the F-Q pair or; finally, (3) a combination of a plurality of ligands bonded together through linking groups to a hub molecule, usually a polymer, in combination with antibody bound to the other of the F-Q pair. The composition is irradiated with light at a wavelength, absorbed by the fluorescing molecule and the amount of fluorescence determined. By employing appropriate standards, the presence and amount of the ligand can be determined.
