F. Taran et al., Competitive immunoassay (Cat-EIA), a helpful technique for catalytic antibody detection. Part I., TETRAHEDR L, 40(10), 1999, pp. 1887-1890
A competitive immunoassay procedure for the screening of catalytic antibodi
es is reported. This screening approach (Cat EIA) is a modification of the
well-known Cat-ELISA technique avoiding the substrate modification step. It
has been developed for a bimolecular reaction and has been tested on a hig
h number of hybridoma clones. The current study explores for the first time
the utility and feasibility of this method for the early detection of cata
lytic antibodies. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
