摘要
We report an ultrasensitive, enzymatically amplified, time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay with a terbium chelate as the detectable moiety. In this immunoassay, the primary label is the enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP). ALP cleaves phosphate out of a fluorogenic substrate, 5-fluorosalicyl phosphate, to produce 5-fluorosalicylic acid (FSA). 5-Fluorosalicylic acid can then form a highly fluorescent ternary complex of the form FSA-Tb(3+)-EDTA, which can be quantified by measuring the Tb3+ fluorescence in a time-resolved mode. In this assay, exceptional sensitivity is achieved because of the enzymatic amplification introduced by ALP and the quantification by laser-induced microsecond time-resolved fluorometry. Time-resolved fluorometry is applicable because of the long fluorescence lifetime of the Tb3+ complexes. It is shown that in a model AFP assay 10(6) or 1.5 x 10(5) molecules can be detected (final assay volume, 100 microL) by using monoclonal or polyclonal detection antibodies, respectively. The assay demonstrates excellent precision (approximately 4%), and it seems to be highly suited for automated, sensitive, and rapid immunoassays.
