ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method for determining qualitatively or quantitatively the presence of polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans in a test sample. The method includes the steps of: providing a known quantity of antibodies to the polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans; providing a competitor that will bind to said antibodies in competition with the polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans and having a lower affinity to said antibodies than said antibodies have to the polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans; incubating said antibodies and said competitor in the presence of a test sample; and detecting the presence of the polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans in the test sample. The invention also provides methods of using the competitor of the present invention to detect qualitatively or quantitatively polycyclic aromatic compounds.
