Abstract

A method for determining the presence of a ligand in a liquid medium which utilizes enzyme labeled avidin and biotin labeled reagent in a specific binding process wherein the ligand to be detected is contacted with an insoluble phase containing specific binding substance for the ligand. Various protocols may be used to assay the resulting enzyme activity which is related to the amount of ligand in the liquid medium.
