An antibody to HCG was immobilized to a membrane. The antibody-bound membrane was placed onto an oxygen probe so as to react with HCG either specifically or selectively. Catalase, which catalyzes the decomposition of H2O2 into H2O and O2, was used to label HCG. Nonlabeled HCG to be assayed and catalase-labeled HCG were competitively reacted with the membrane-bound antibody of the sensor to form an antigen-antibody complex on the membrane surface. After the removal of nonspecifically adsorbed HCG, the sensor was contacted with a H2O2 solution. The membrane-adsorbed catalase enzymatically generated oxygen with a resulting increase in cathodic current of the sensor. The HCG concentration was determined from the initial rate of the current increase. The enzyme immunosensor was applied to the determination of HCG in the concentration range of 2 × 10−2 to 102 IU/ml.
