  • Monoclonal antibody to digoxin
    Patent number: 4606855
    Abstract: A method of determining the concentration of an antigen in a sample solution comprising(a) coating an antigen-protein conjugate onto a solid matrix,(b) conjugating an enzyme to an antibody specific for said antigen,(c) to a known quantity of a solution containing the antibody-enzyme conjugate of (b) adding a specified quantity of a sample containing an unknown amount of the antigen whose content is to be determined,(d) contacting the coated solid matrix of (a) with the solution (c) and incubate so as to effect binding between the antibody and antigen, some of the antigen being that from the sample and some being that on the solid matrix,(e) removing the solid matrix from the solution and washing,(f) immersing the solid matrix in a solution containing a known amount of an enzyme-substrate which is acted upon by the enzyme so as to effect reaction between the enzyme and enzyme-substrate to produce a product, and then separating the solid matrix form the solution of enzyme-substrate, and(g) then measuring the so
