Methods for Enzyme-Labeling of Antigens Antibodies and their Fragments

  • Chapter
Nonisotopic Immunoassay

Abstract

A number of reagents have been used for enzyme-labeling of antigens and antibodies during the past two decades. However, most of them suffer from serious disadvantages, and only a few reagents are in current use, including glutaraldehyde, periodate, maleimide compounds and pyridyl disulfide compounds (Ishikawa et al., 1983a).
