title: Polyethylene glycol enzyme immunoassay for screening anti-haptoglobin monoclonal antibodies.
abstract: An enzyme immunoassay for the screening of anti-haptoglobin activities in supernatants of hybridoma cell cultures is described. The sandwich technique was greatly improved by the addition of 2% polyethylene glycol 6000 to all the reagents. It allowed a six-fold shortening in the incubation time compared with the standard method without sacrificing either sensitivity or accuracy.
