Abstract
Immunoassay methods and reagents for the specific quantification of imipramine or desipramine in a test sample are disclosed. The measurement of imipramine or desipramine is accomplished in a specific immunoassay employing antibodies prepared with imipramine or desipramine derivatives of the Formula III: ##STR1## wherein P is an immunogenic carrier material, X is two heteroatoms, Y is a linking group comprising from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and P is an immunogenic carrier material, and wherein for imipramine, R is CH.sub.3, and for desipramine, R is H. The present invention also describes the synthesis of unique labeled reagents of the structure of the Formula IV: ##STR2## wherein Z is a linking group comprising 1 to 4 carbon atoms and 0 to 2 heteroatoms and Q is a detectable moiety, preferably fluorescein or a fluorescein derivative, and wherein for imipramine, R.sub.1 is CH.sub.3, and for desipramine, R.sub.1 is H.
