title: The study of a chemiluminescence immunoassay using the peroxyoxalate chemiluminescent reaction and its application.
abstract: The paper presented a novel chemiluminescence (CL) immunoassay method, which combines the advantages of traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and bis (2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) oxalate (TCPO)-hydrogen peroxide CL detection system. A fluorescent product 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAPN) was produced by reaction between o-phenylenediamine (OPDA, 1,2-diaminobenzene) and H(2)O(2) catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP). DAPN was excited by the reactive intermediate of TCPO-H(2)O(2) chemiluminescent reaction, and led to CL. The dependence of the CL intensity on the concentrations of antigen was studied. As analytical application, the proposed method was used for determination of recombinant human interleukin 6 (rHu IL-6) and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-HCG). Under the selected experimental conditions, a linear relationship was obtained between the CL intensity and the concentration of rHu IL-6 in the range of 4.0-625.0pg/ml, and beta-HCG in the range of 12.5-400.0mIU/ml. The detection limits were 0.5pg/ml for rHu IL-6 and 3mIU/ml for beta-HCG with relative standard deviation of 2.3 for 78.0pg/ml rHu IL-6, and 3.9 for 50.0mIU/ml beta-HCG. This method has been applied to the determination of rHu IL-6 in human serum and beta-HCG in urine with satisfactory results.
