An amperometric Immunoelectrode based on the ferrlcinlumlon-medlated oxidation of glucose by glucose oxidase Is described. An antlgen-ferridclnlum Ion complex was shown to act as an electron acceptor for glucose oxidase. The cata-lytic current produced In the enzymatic oxidation of glucose was specifically Inhibited upon binding the antigen-ferrocene complex with antibody. The Inhibition could be reversed upon addition of free antigen. Thus, a homogeneous, competitive Immunoassay was devised. Lidocaine was chosen as the antigen. The assay time was 15 min, with a relative standard deviation of 3-6%.Over the past decade there has been a growing interest in the development of rapid, simple enzyme electrodes for the determination of the concentration of clinically and physiologically relevant substances (7-3). An enzyme electrode combines the specificity and affinity of a biological catalyst for its substrate with the analytical power of electrochemical devices. The sensitivity and detection limits of electrochemical methods are improved when used in conjunction with chemical amplification mechanisms such as enzyme catalysis (4). Electrochemical detectors have two major advantages over the more widely used spectrophotometric techniques:(a) they are capable of making measurements in turbid samples and (b) the devices are relatively inexpensiveand easy to operate. The interest in developing sensitiveenzyme electrodes has expanded into the field of immunochemistry where it has become important to develop nonradioisotope-labeled im-munoassays (5). It has been demonstrated that enzyme im-munoassay can, in some cases, have the same intrinsic sen-sitivity as radioisotope-labeled immunoassay (6). The ap-plication of immunochemicaland electrochemical methods to the measurement of clinically important species combines the sensitivity of an enzyme electrode with the specificity of an antibody-antigen interaction.
