ABSTRACT:
An improved immunoassay for determining the presence of an analyte in a serum sample and conjugates therefor are described. The known method comprises combining the sample with a conjugate of the analyte and an enzyme and with a receptor for analyte, and determining the presence of analyte in the sample from the effect that the sample has on the enzymatic activity when compared to the enzymatic activity in the absence of analyte or in the presence of known amounts of analyte. The present invention resides in the conjugation to the enzyme label of a label protectant which allows modulation of the enzymatic activity to occur and minimizes background interference between the enzyme label and the sample, which would alter the enzymatic activity.
