[Enzyme-immunoassay of grass-pollen and mites antibodies in rabbit antisera on magnetic polyacrylamide agarose beads (author's transl)].

Complex antigens were coupled to polyacrylamide agarose beads which had been made magnetic with iron oxide. Those beads were then used in an enzyme-immunoassay for quantitation of specific antibodies to grass-pollen and mites in rabbit antisera. The results obtained by a direct or an inhibition technique proved the specificity of this assay towards homologous antigens. Moreover, cross-reactions between the various species of grass-pollen could be shown. One advantage of this simple method is that it may avoid use of radioactive compounds.
