[Conjugates of the Ca2+ -regulated photoprotein obelin with immunoglobulins: synthesis and use as labels in bioluminescent immunoassay].
An efficient procedure for obelin conjugation with immunoglobulins was developed. The possibility was shown of using the resulting conjugates instead of a radioisotope label for the immunoassay of thyroid stimulating hormone in sera; the conjugates provide a sensitivity of 0.01 microIU/ml. The results of bioluminescent immunoassay (sera of 34 patients) satisfactorily correlate with the results of radioisotope assay (R 0.99).
