Development of Fluoroimmunoassays for the determination of individual or combined levels of procainamide and N-acetylprocainamide in serum. 1982

M H Al-Hakiem, and D S Smith, and J Landon

A fluoroimmunoassay has been developed for the simultaneous determination of serum levels of procainamide and its active metabolite N-acetylprocainamide. It employs procainamide linked through its aromatic amino group to fluorescein isothiocyanate as tracer and an antiserum raised against procainamide conjugated to human thyroglobulin through the same position. Separation is rapidly and simply achieved by covalently linking the antiserum to magnetisable microparticles and use of a magnet. Specific magnetisable particle fluorimmunoassays were also developed for procainamide and for N-acetylprocainamide by the use of suitable immunogens and fluorescein-labelled tracers. That for procainamide uses an antiserum raised to a procainamide-enzyme conjugate and fluorescein-labelled p-aminobenzoic acid while the fluoroimmunoassay for N-acetylprocainamide employs an antiserum against a N-acetylprocainamide-enzyme conjugate and fluorescein-labelled p-acetamidobenzoic acid.
