Abstract
A water-insoluble immunoreactive reagent is prepared from a polymeric particle composed of a polymer derived from at least one ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomer having either pendant activated 2-substituted ethylsulfonyl or vinylsulfonyl groups. The interior of the particle is substantially free of detectable tracer material. The particle is covalently attached through the pendant groups to an immunological species which is capable of participating in an immunological reaction to complex with a corresponding receptor. This immunoreactive reagent can be incorporated in elements for use in immunoassays. In addition, they can be used in various immunological methods, including agglutination, sandwich and competitive binding assays where at least one immunological species is insolubilized.
