β¦ Synopsis
Recent advances in homogeneous enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) are discussed. EIA methods have been developed with comparable sensitivity to those of radioirnrnunoassay (RIA). EIAs have become established in many clinical laboratories and are generally being employed for: 1) homogeneous assay of low molecular weight compounds such as drugs and antibiotics present in biological samples at relatively high concentrations, 2) qualitative and semiquantitative assays for viral, bacterial, Key words: Enzyme, lmmunoassays fungal, and parasitic antigens and antibodies, 3) tissue immunohistochemical localization of antigens and antibodies, and 4) alternatives to RIA in smaller laboratories. This paper discusses the principles and applications of newer homogeneous assays such as avidin-biotin enzyme, hybrid antibody, insoluble substate and cloned enzyme donor, and electrochemical immunoassays. Future instrumentation for EIAs with the use of biosensors is also discussed.

A homogeneous enzyme immunoassay has been developed in which an antigen and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase are coimmobilized on agarose beads. Binding of hexokinase-labeled antibody to the bead-bound antigen results in an accelerated conversion of glucose, ATP, and NAD+ to 6-phosphogluconolactone
A novel homogeneous enzyme immunoassay has been developed that takes advantage of the observation that the activity of a bacterial chitinase could be enhanced by the binding of a ligand conjugate of a monoclonal antibody to the enzyme (L-MAbchi). The enhancement was suppressed by an antiligand antib
Homogeneous enzyme immunoassay has been used as a tool for the determination of diosgenin and its glycosides in plants. Diosgenin antisera was found to inhibit the activity of diosgenin hemisuccinate-horseradish peroxidase conjugate which was reversed by the addition of free diosgenin or its glycosi
A unique homogeneous enzyme immunoassay used for the determination of haptens and macromolecular antigens has been developed. It consists of avidin-antigen conjugate, anti-ligand antibody, and biotin enzyme (propionyl-CoA carboxylase). The immunological reaction of the conjugate with antibodies spec
## Abstract A convenient homogeneous enzyme immunoassay for estradiol is described. Unlike heterogeneous immunoassays, which require timeβconsuming separation steps or expensive automated systems, homogeneous immunoassays, wherein all reagents are freely suspended in bulk solution, can be simple an
