Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
A sensitive and simple microwell based competition enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative determination of estradiol (E2) and estriol (E3) was developed. Nicrowells coated with antibody were incubated with antigen followed by adding horseradish peroxidase (HRPO) conjugate. The assay, which can be performed within two hours at room temperature, involved simultaneous incubation of E2 - or E3-HRPO conjugate and serum sample in polystyrene microwells coated with anti- E2 or anti-E3 gamma globulin fraction.
Gamma globulin was isolated from whole anti-serum by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. A carbodiimide coupling method was utilized to prepare the …
