Abstract: Anovel fluorescence immunoassay for HBsAg was developed by using poly-N-iso-propylacrylamide(PNIP) as an immunoreaction carrier. In sandwich immunoassay, after two steps immunoreaction, PNIP precipitates out of water above a critical temperature of 31℃ , enabling a polymer-bound immune complex to be separated from the solution. The calibration graph for HBsAg was linear over the range of 0.5-100 g/mLwith a detection limit of 10ng/mL. This method combines some advantages of both homogeneous and heterogeneous immunoassays, and has been applied to determining the HBsAg in human blood serum with satisfactory results.
