摘要
A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay suitable for the measurement of caffeine in plasma and serum has been developed. Sheep immunised with an immunogen prepared by coupling 7-(5-carboxypenthyl)1,3-dimethylxanthine to egg albumin produced antibodies with little crossreactivity with the metabolites of caffeine. The enzyme label was prepared by coupling 7-(5-carboxypentyl)-1,3-dimethylxanthine to peroxidase using the mixed anhydride method. The assay, which has a sensitivity of 0.01 μmol/1, permits direct measurement of caffeine in plasma and serum samples. 50 plasma samples measured by ELISA and by an established radioimmunoassay showed a correlation of r = 0.97 (P < 0.001). © 1990.
