Prostaglandin E 2 is one of the major cyclooxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid. We developed a competitive immunosorbent assay for prostaglandin E 2 utilizing a bioluminescent enzyme Cypridina luciferase. The prostaglandin E 2 amount could be quantified over the concentration ranging from 7.8 to 500 pg/mL. The amount of unlabeled prostaglandin E 2 required to displace 50% of the maximal binding of Cypridina luciferase‐labeled prostaglandin E 2 ( B / B 0 ) was approximately 35 pg/mL. The results show a great potential of Cypridina luciferase as a new labeling enzyme for enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
