title: Enzyme immunometric assay for leukotriene C4.
abstract: An enzyme immunometric assay of LTC4 named SPIE-IA is described. The assay involves different sequential steps: (1) immunocapture of LTC4 by monoclonal anti-LTC4 antibodies coated on 96-well microtiter plates; (2) cross-linking of LTC4 via its amino group to the wells using glutaraldehyde; (3) treatment with HCl; (4) measurement of linked LTC4 using the same monoclonal anti-LTC4 antibodies labeled with acetylcholinesterase. A minimal detectable concentration of 2 pg/ml after 60 min of enzymatic reaction was obtained. Cross-reactivity was less than 15% with LTD4 or LTE4. The coefficient of variation was less than 6% in the 20-1000 pg/ml range. Good correlation was observed between SPIE-IA and a competitive enzyme immunoassay for biological samples. The different sequential steps of the assay are investigated.
