✦ Synopsis
A bioluminescent immunoassay of n-fetoprotein is described. It uses monoclonal antibodies labeled with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and polyclonal antibodies coimmobilized on Sepharose with bioluminescent enzymes from marine bacteria, The bioluminescent reaction which occurs in the immunosorbent is proportional to the amount of cu-fetoprotein in the assay. The protocol is simple and rapid, and no separation step is required to remove the excess labeled antibodies. The assay can be performed directly on 25 ~1 serum and it is as sensitive as other immunometric assays. 'a I986 Academtc Press. Inc.

Immobilized anti-cY-fetoprotein discs for enzyme immunoassay of Lu-fetoprotein were prepared by radiation polymerization of hydroxyethylmethacrylate at -78°C. The activity (determined by absorbance at 492 nm) of the discs varied with monomer concentration and disc thickness, the optimum values being
A bioluminescent immunoassay for measuring dinitropbenol and trinitrotoluene (TNT) has been developed. The DNP and TNT were covalently linked to firefly luciferase. resulting in a conjugate containing 1 mol of DNP or trinitrophenyl (TNP) per mole of luciferase. The conjugate retained 90% of its orig
