Abstract:
1. A method for identifying and/or quantifying radiolabeled Aminoglycoside Binding Molecules (ABMs) in a sample, said method comprising the following steps: a) preparing a sample comprising at least an ABM and an enzyme; b) allowing said enzyme either to add a radiolabeled group present in the sample to the ABM, or to cleave a radiolabeled group present in the ABM; c) incubating the sample with one or more solid supports impregnated with a scintillant compound and covered with an aminoglycoside; and d) measuring the level of emission generated by the one or more scintillating supports; and e) correlating said level of emission to the presence or amount of said radiolabeled Aminoglycoside Binding Molecules to identify and/or quantify radiolabeled ABM's.
