Abstract

A fluoroimmunoassay method using magnetic particles for the highly sensitive detection of allergen was developed. Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated IgE antibody was immobilized on bacterial magnetic particles using a heterobifunctional reagent, N-succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate. The decrease in fluorescence intensity on aggregation of FITC-labelled bacterial magnetic conjugated was determined by spectrofluorimetry. The relative flourescence intensity decreased with increasing allergen concentration. A linear relationship was obtained between the relative flourescence intensity and allergen in the range of 0.5–100 pg ml 0−1.
