Abstract:
A method for the quantification of vancomycin in a test sample, the method comprising the steps of:(a) contacting the test sample with (i) an antibody reagent comprising antibodies secreted by a hybridoma cell line designated as ATCC HB 11834, and (ii) a labeled reagent of the formula: wherein Q is a detectable moiety and X is from 0 to 50 carbon and heteroatoms, including not more than ten heteroatoms, arranged as a straight or branched chain or cyclic moiety, saturated or unsaturated, with the provisos that not more than two heteroatoms may be directly linked in sequence, that the sequence cannot contain â€”Oâ€”O linkages, the cyclic moieties contain 6 or fewer members, and that branching may occur only on carbon atoms, to form a reaction solution; and(b) measuring the amount of the labeled reagent in the reaction solution which either is or is not bound with the antibody as a function of the amount of vancomycin in the test sample.
