THE PRODUCTION AND EVALUATION OF ANTIBODIES FOR ENZYME IMMUNOASSAY OF AZTTP

Abstract
We describe the development of the first enzyme immunoassay for quantifying AZTTP that does not use of radioactive labeling. Anti-AZTTP antibodies were raised in rabbits by immunizing with an AZTTP-kelhoyle limpet hemocyanin (KLH) conjugate. Competitive immunoassays indicated a nanomolar sensitivity to AZTTP. One of the antisera produced was specific for AZTTP.
