Numerous techniques have been developed to prepare immunoliposomes based on the nucleophilic reactivity of free amine groups of proteins or peptides. One of the most popular and commonly used methods is to covalently couple free carboxylic groups to primary amines through activation of the carboxyl groups with EDC (1-ethyl-3-[3-dimethylaminopropyl] carbodiimide). EDC, which is a so-called zero-length crosslinking agent, reacts with the carboxyl to form an amine reactive intermediate (O-acylisourea). The produced O-acylisourea can be easily displaced by nucleophilic attack from the primary amino groups in the reaction mixture. However, this intermediate is unstable and hydrolyzed in aqueous solutions. In order to prevent the intermediate hydrolysis, sulfo-NHS (N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide) is added to EDC to produce a significantly more stable and more soluble active intermediate (NHS ester).
Consequently, the immunoliposomes are prepared by a two-step coupling procedure: first, activating the free carboxyl group of the linker lipid incorporated in the liposomes with EDC and sulfo-NHS, and then covalently conjugating the antibodies to the lipids through displacement of sulfo-NHS groups by antibody amines, as depicted below. EDC/sulfo-NHS coupling reactions are highly selective and highly efficient, and the biological activity of the protein or peptide is preserved.
ImmunoFluor™-Glutaryl is a non-PEGylated product. For other amine reactive (PEGylated and non-PEGyalated products) and also ImmunoFluor™ products suitable for other types conjugation methods see here.

希望知道如何购买的朋友告诉一下，谢谢。
一般来说，试剂盒曲线上的最小浓度是比较准确的，低于这个值因为与曲线是个“S"型结构有关，所以结果是有偏差的，是一种估算。再加上实验误差，所以达不到理想的效果。建议选择试剂盒时，应该看曲线上最小的浓度值，而不是试剂盒上写的灵敏度。
虽然酶活性调节ELISA方法的灵敏度目前并不十分理想，但在酶活性放大ELISA中，检测的灵敏度远比RIA高。根据质量作用定律。即免疫反应所形成的免疫复合物量与反应物浓度成正比。推测所检测的待测物分子数为1。已知1个摩尔浓度含6.02×1023个分子，那么理论推测酶活性放大ELISA方法的最低检测限可达1.7×10-24mol/L。虽然在实际应用中由于反应条件和试剂纯度以及仪器精度等因素的影响，往往达不到这个水平(大于104个分子)，但表明ELISA在灵敏度方面的改进潜力是很大的。
