Abstract

Tricyclic antidepressant functionalized compounds are provided for conjugation through a side chain to antigenic compounds, particularly poly(amino acids), and enzymes. The antigenic conjugates are employed for the production of antibodies and together with the enzyme conjugates find particular use in immunoassays for the determination or detection of the total amount of tricyclic antidepressants present in a sample.
