NON-RADIATIVE ENERGY TRANSFER IMMUNOCHEMICAL TECHNIQUE

摘要

Antigen assays are performed by introducing an antigen-containing sample into a reagent solution comprising an absorber-emitter conjugated antibody and a chemiluminescent catalyst conjugated antibody, wherein the conjugated antibodies bind to the antigen in close proximity to enable transfer of energy to the absorberemitter. The resulting emission of light from the absorber-emitter is related to the amount of antigen present in the sample.
