MONOCLONAL AND POLYCLONAL IMMUNOASSAY REAGENTS FOR QUINOLINE CARBOXYLIC ACIDS AND QUINOLINE CARBOXYLIC ACID HAPTENS FOR USE IN IMMUNOGENIC OR TRACER CONJUGATES

摘要

The present invention is directed to immunoassay reagents including specific antibodies to quinoline carboxylic acids, such as brequinar; novel quinoline carboxylic acid haptens useful as standards in immunoassays or for conjugating to large molecular weight carriers as immunogens or conjugating to detectable fluorescent moieties as tracer compounds. The present invention also relates to immunoassays for detecting quinoline carboxylic acids in clinical samples, and finally to kits containing said reagents.
