Immunoassay Studies Using Adenosine Deaminase Enzyme with Potentiometric Rate Measurement

Abstract
An enzyme immunoassay method using adenosine deaminase (EC 3.5.4.4) as the enzyme label is described. Potentiometric rate measurements with an ammonia gas-sensing electrode were used to determine the activity of enzyme label bound to agarose bead immobilized 2nd antibody. The activity is related to the concentration of either a model haptenic group dinitrophenyl, DNP, or [rabbit] anti-DNP antibody. Detection limits of 50 ng antibody and 10-10 M DNP hapten were obtained when incubations were carried out at pH 7.5 and assays at pH 9.0.
