Abstract
We are describing the synthesis and use of biotinamidocaproyl-derivatives of 18-oxocortisol-3-carboxymethoxylamine for the development of enzyme labels using the avidin-peroxidase system for the design of enzyme-linked immunoassays (ELISA). An ELISA for 18-oxocortisol and -hydroxycorticosterone was devised which showed improved sensitivity and specificity in comparison to an RIA using a tritiated tracer. The system is easy to prepare and offers the possibility to design immunoassays when no tritiated tracer is available.
