Preparation of a solid phase matrix containing a bound specific binding pair
First Claim
1. Process for the production of a solid phase matrix of an insoluble carrier with a specifically bindable substance bound thereto, comprising:
- (i) coating a substance on an insoluble carrier material, wherein said substance contains a first polymer, said first polymer is a protein polymer comprising hydrophobic protein molecules having a molecular weight of from 10,000 to 700,000 which have been cross-linked with a bifunctional or polyfunctional compound to produce said protein polymer, and a plurality of molecules of a first member of a specific binding pair P1, and(ii) cross linking said first polymer to a second polymer which comprises a plurality of molecules of a second member of a specific binding pair P2, and binding sites for a complex of an immune component and an analyte, wherein said substance and said second polymer are cross linked via binding of P1 and P2 to each other, wherein said first polymer is more hydrophobic than said second polymer.

Abstract
A specific binding pair is bound to an insoluble carrier for use in determining an analyte such as in an immunoassay. The carrier is coated with a first polymer containing a protein polymer having a molecular weight of at least about 20,000 and molecules of a first member of a specific binding pair. A second polymer containing a second member of the specific binding pair is bound to the first member on the carrier by binding of the first and second members of the specific binding pair. The first polymer is preferably more hydrophobic than the second polymer. The protein polymer can be prepared by cross-linking hydrophobic protein molecules of 10,000 to 700,000 molecular weight with a bifunctional or polyfunctional compound to obtain a protein polymer of 200,000 to 20,000,000 molecular weight. The second polymer can be the second member of the specific binding pair or the second member cross-linked with a linker or the second member cross-linked to a hydrophobic protein.
