ABSTRACT:
Methods and compositions are provided for use of modified or intact phycobilisomes as extremely potent labels in sensitive monitoring kits (e.g., for blood contamination), specific binding assays (e.g., visual, photometric and fluorometric immunoassays) and optoelectronic devices (e.g., biosensors, photoelectric transducers).
