Fluorometric ELISA for the detection and quantitation of metallothionein

D G Thomas et al. J Immunol Methods. .

Abstract

The development of a heterogeneous fluorometric ELISA for the detection and quantitation of metallothionein (MT) is described. A radioimmunoassay (RIA) previously developed in our laboratory is used as a reference assay to characterize the performance of the ELISA. The standard curves (logit-log regressions) that are typical of either assay have similar ranges (customarily from 20 000 to 100 pg of competing antigen); both assays are capable of quantitating MT in unknowns with 5-10% accuracy. Aspects of MT measurement in cytosols and physiological fluids are discussed.
