Abstract: A process for preparing solid perfluorocarbon polymer supports permitting uniform and secure attachment of perfluorocarbon-substituted ligands or binders to carriers is provided utilizing pretreatment of the carriers with water miscible organic solvents.
Abstract: An enzyme-linked immunoassay for the determination of cyclosporin A levels in whole blood samples is provided based on the utilization of .beta.-D-galactosidase as an enzyme label and chlorophenol red-.beta.-D-galactopyranoside or resorufin-.beta.-D-galactopyranoside as a .beta.-D-galactosidase substrate.
Abstract: A solid support useful for bioaffinity and ion-exchange separations and enzyme immobilization is provided. The support is based on a non-perfluorocarbon solid carrier core coated with a nonionic fluorosurfactant-coated fluorocarbon interlayer to which a ligand or a binder for the ligand is securely, but reversibly attached through a reactive perfluorocarbon anchor compound. Also provided is a solid support useful for size exclusion separations. Such support is based on a non-perfluorocarbon carrier core coated with a nonionic fluorosurfactant-coated fluorocarbon interlayer.
Abstract: A sandwich immunoassay for determining total monoclonal IgG content in samples of purified IgG, cell culture medium and ascites fluid is provided based on the utilization of anti-light-chain IgG antibodies as both capture and label antibodies.
