enzyme-multiplied immunoassay technique


en·zyme-mul·ti·plied im·mu·no·as·say tech·nique (EMIT),

a type of immunoassay in which the ligand is labeled with an enzyme, and the enzyme-ligand-antibody complex is enzymatically inactive, allowing quantitation of unlabeled ligand.

enzyme-multiplied immunoassay technique

Abbreviation: EMIT
An enzyme immunoassay based on a mixture of analyte and enzyme substrate such that no immobile phase is necessary. See: enzyme immunoassay; cloned enzyme donor immunoassaySee also: technique
