Substrate composition for alkaline phosphatase and method for assay using same.

摘要

A composition contains levamisole and a substrate for alkaline phosphatase in a high pH buffer including 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol. The composition may be included in a kit of materials useful in performing an immunoassay in which intestinal alkaline phosphatase is the label. The invention includes a method for detection of a viral antigen by an immunoassay including intestinal alkaline phosphatase as the label and the composition of the invention to provide stabilized levamisole to inhibit nonintestinal alkaline phosphatase.
