[Beta-galactosidase from E. coli as a marker in immunoenzyme analysis].
In the present review the authors analyze factors influencing sensitivity of the enzyme immunoassay (EIA). beta-Galactosidase from E. coli was chosen as a marker enzyme. Physico-chemical properties of the enzyme, detection methods and various ways of obtaining chemical conjugates with antigens and antibodies are discussed. Some examples of using beta-galactosidase as a label in homogeneous and heterogeneous EIA are given which enables different compounds to be analyzed with a high sensitivity. New approaches employing gene engineering for constructing "fusions" between beta-galactosidase and antigens (alternative to chemical conjugates) are discussed that can be used in the near future.
