Abstract
A stabilized composition comprising apoglucose oxidase is disclosed. In addition to the apoenzyme, a stabilizing agent comprising poly(vinyl alcohol), bovine serum albumin or mixtures thereof is included. The composition can also comprise, in addition to the apoenzyme and stabilizing agent, reagents for a homogeneous specific binding assay system capable of producing a detectable response which is a function of a ligand in, or the ligand binding capacity of a test sample, wherein the apoenzyme is itself one of the reagents in the assay system. The stabilized composition can be utilized in a test device for assaying a ligand in, or the ligand binding capacity of a liquid sample, whereby the device comprises a test device incorporated with the composition.
