Abstract
A quantitative immunoassay for a beta-lactam antibiotic in a sample, which may contain open and closed ring forms of the antibiotic, is disclosed. Closed-ring forms of the antibiotic in the sample are converted to open-ring protein conjugates and detected through immunospecific reaction with antibodies raised against the open-ring protein conjugate form of the beta-lactam antibiotic.
