with the ability of localization of objects equipped with liposomes and their use in an immunoassay.

摘要

The invention provides a biological reagent comprising a liposome into which a label has been incorporated and a second binding agent covalently attached to the liposome. This biological reagent may be used in a method of assaying a support-bound biological material or a first binding agent complementary thereto, which comprises incubating a conjugate of the said biological material and first binding agent with an excess of a biological reagent comprising a liposome into which a label has been incorporated and a second binding agent covalently attached to the liposome; separating the unbound excess of the said reagent from the conjugate having liposomes bound thereto; and finally observing the bound and/or the unbound label.
