Zusammenfassung: | Improved sensitive immunoassays are provided involving channeling involving one, usually two enzymes, where the enzymes are related by the product of one enzyme being the substrate of the other enzyme. A dispersed aggregation is formed in the assay medium of (1) the analyte, (2) one of the enzymes bound to a second binding member («SBM») (enzyme - SBM conjugate) which conjugate is non-covalently bound to a first binding member («FBM»), and (3) a multiplied amount of the other enzyme bound in the complex. The large amount of enzyme or reactant in the complex is achieved by having a multiplicity of linkages binding the enzyme or reactant directly or indirectly to FBMs. The enzyme channeling provides for a detectable signal which can be related to the amount of analyte in the medium. |
