The use of 3,3',5,5' - tetramethylbenzidine as non-mutagenic chromogen for the end point determination in enzyme-immunoassay (EIA) is described. In sandwich EIAs for HCG and HBsAg and in a competitive EIA for testosterone, the colour yield with TMB was superior to that obtained with o-phenylene diamine (OPD), which was by far the best chromogen for horse-radish peroxidase until now. This led to an improvement of sensitivity and precision of the assays and makes EIA even more competitive with other types of immunoassays.
本文描述了使用3,3',5,5'-四甲基联苯胺作为非诱变显色剂用于酶免疫测定(EIA)终点测定的情况。在用于人绒毛膜促性腺激素(HCG)和乙型肝炎表面抗原(HBsAg)的夹心EIA以及用于睾酮的竞争性EIA中,TMB产生的颜色比邻苯二胺(OPD)产生的颜色更好,而OPD是迄今为止辣根过氧化物酶的最佳显色剂。这提高了测定的灵敏度和精密度,使EIA在与其他类型免疫测定竞争中更具优势。
