CHEMILUMINESCENT REAGENTS AND CHEMILUMINESCENCE ANALYSIS METHODS WITH THE USE OF THE SAME

摘要

Novel chemiluminescent reagents undergoing chemiluminescence in the presence of peroxides depending on the amount of peroxidase and chemiluminescence analysis methods with the use of the same, for example, a method for assaying peroxidase activity by using chemiluminescence and a method for detecting and quantitating various substances by enzyme immunoassay with the use of peroxidase as a labeling. More particularly, the chemiluminescent reagents contain as the major components N,N'-disubstituted-9,9'-bisacridinium salt charge transfer complexes and N,N-disubstituted carboxamide compounds optionally together with specific amino alcohols. The methods comprise assaying peroxidase activity at a high sensitivity in the presence of peroxides with the use of these reagents. A chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay method wherein a substance to be assayed can be assayed at an elevated sensitivity by effecting a chemiluminescent reaction with the use of the above reagents in the enzyme immunoassay method with the use of peroxidase as a labeling.
