Abstract
An immunoassay for estrone (E~1~) in women's serum, based on the competitive reaction between fluoresceinโlabeled complete antigen and E~1~ with limited amount of antiโestrone monoclonal antibody is described. A thermally reversible hydrogel, polyโNโisopropylacrylamide (pNIPA), was added to the buffer to improve the reproducibility. With a laserโinduced fluorescence (LIF) detector, the capillary electrophoretic immunoassay (CEIA) can be applied to determine E~1~ at a concentration lower than 19.6ย pg/mL. The E~1~ levels in ten normal women's serum were measured at the range of 118.6โ222.0ย pg/mL.
