Abstract
Method and compositions for performing immunoassays having conjugated fluorescent particles and conjugated catalyst where the particles and catalysts are conjugated to members of a specific binding pair. Bound to the fluorescent particle is a catalyst, usually enzyme, member of a signal producing system, which system includes the fluorescent particle. Another catalyst is bound to a specific binding pair member. The catalyst-specific binding member conjugate becomes bound to the particle, by the intermediacy of the binding of the specific binding pair, producing a quenching product which binds to the particle, resulting in a reduction in fluorescence.
