Abstract:
An enhanced chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay for serum follicle stimulating hormone is described which involves sequential reaction of anti-follicle stimulating hormone antibody immobilised to the inside surface of an opaque microtitre plate with sample, monoclonal anti-alpha thyroid stimulating hormone antibody, and an anti-mouse IgG - horseradish peroxidase conjungate. Bound peroxidase activity was measured using a p-hydroxycinnamic acid enhanced chemiluminescent luminol-hydrogen peroxide reaction. The assay was sensitive (detection limit 0.01 mU/well) precise (intra-assay precision 2.5-8.1%, inter-assay precision 6.7-11.9%) and results obtained with this assay and a competitive radioimmunoassay were in good agreement (correlation coefficient 0.98).

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen. Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or quantified.
