Some properties of con A-antibody conjugates

By application of antibody-Con A conjugates it is possible to perform a modified enzyme immunoassay. The reaction of an antigen with the corresponding antibody labelled by Can A results in a complex to which POD can be bound via the carbohydrate moiety of the enzyme. The enzyme can be quantified in the usual manner. A special advantage consists in the applicability of relatively impure POD preparations.
