Abstract:A regenerable immobilized second-antibody reactor was used to measure azidothymidine (AZT) by competitive enzyme immunoassay in a flow system. The immobilized antibody was regenerated 4 times with little loss of immunospecificity. A residual enzymatic activity of about 7% of the total response was obtained with horseradish peroxidase as label. AZT was measured below the nanomolar level by allowing competition to proceed for about 2 min. A limit of detection of 6.57 x 10(-11) +/- 1.56 x 10(-11) M AZT was obtain… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
