We compare aequorin, alkaline phosphatase and horseradish peroxidase as reporters for luminescent immunoassays using alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) as a model analyte. Biotinylated aequorin was prepared from mutated aequorin containing a reactive cysteine residue by chemical conjugation. The measurable range of AFP using this biotinylated aequorin was 0.02-200 ng/ml, with a lower background level than the other biotinylated enzymes tested.
