Journal ArticleDOI
Enzyme amplification--a general method applied to provide an immunoassisted assay for placental alkaline phosphatase.
TL;DR: A method is described in which enzyme amplification is used for the quantitative determination of placental alkaline phosphatase through dephosphorylation of NADP to NAD which activates a strictly NAD-dependent redox cycle leading to the formation of a coloured product.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enzyme amplification can enhance both the speed and the sensitivity of immunoassays
TL;DR: A general enzyme-amplification method which can be used to increase both the speed and the sensitivity of EIA, and has made possible an assay for human thyroid-stimulating hormone with a sensitivity of 1 X 10(-5) IU/1 and a progesterone assay which takes only 15 min to complete.
Journal ArticleDOI
A fast highly sensitive colorimetric enzyme immunoassay system demonstrating benefits of enzyme amplification in clinical chemistry.
TL;DR: The application of this method to immunoassay is demonstrated by a sensitive, rapid and precise assay for human prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) and some of the many other applications of this methodology are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A sensitive and specific two-site enzyme-immunoassay for human calcitonin using monoclonal antibodies.

TL;DR: A highly sensitive, specific and rapid two-site enzyme-immunometric assay (EIA) for the measurement of immunoreactive (ir) human calcitonin (hCT) in human plasma was developed using high-affinity monoclonal antibodies.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new sensitive and fast peptide immunoassay based on enzyme amplification used in the determination of CGRP and the demonstration of its presence in the thyroid

TL;DR: An enzyme amplified immunoassay for rCGRP based on cofactor cycling has been found to be clearly superior to a comparable radioimmunoASSay employing the same antiserum in terms of sensitivity, speed and convenience.
