Abstract
For the detection of compounds containing carbohydrate the compound to be detected is reacted with a conjugate which contains a group which enables a specific binding to the substance to be detected and contains a hapten with a molecular weight from 300 to 1200, afterwards the complex formed is brought into contact with labelled antibodies directed against the hapten and the label is determined in a known way.
Claims15
Method for detecting a carbohydrate containing compound comprising (a) contacting said compound with a conjugate comprising (i) a group which specifically binds to the carbohydrate in said compound and (ii) a hapten having a molecular weight of from 300-1200 to form a complex of said carbohydrate containing compound and conjugate, (b) contacting said complex with a labelled antibody which specifically binds to said hapten, and (c) detecting labelled antibody so as to detect said carbohydrate containing compound.
