Immunological reagents employing polymeric backbones.

摘要

An immunological substance detecting reagent is provided which, in the preferred embodiment, employs an immunological homolog (1) specific for the immunological substance to be detected coupled to a water-soluble polymer (2) having a net charge not greater than zero. The water-soluble polymer further has associated a plurality of marker substances (3) such as fluorophore molecules thereby providing a reagent of increased sensitivity for the detection of an antigen-antibody immunological reaction.
