Multisignal Reagents For Labeling Analytes
Provided is a composition comprising an analyte bound covalently or through a first binding pair to a polymer. In this composition, the analyte is less than about 2000 MW; the polymer further comprises more than one signal or first member of a second binding pair; and the analyte is not a member of the first binding pair or the second binding pair. Also provided is an assay for an analyte. The assay comprises: combining a sample suspected of containing the analyte with the above-described composition and a binding agent that binds to the analyte; and detecting the signal or the first member of the second binding pair that is bound to the binding agent. In this assay, the amount of the signal or the first member of the second binding pair bound to the binding agent is inversely proportional to the analyte in the sample. Additionally provided is a multisignal labeling reagent comprising a first polymer covalently bound to (a) a reactive group or a first member of a first binding pair, and (b) more than one digoxigenin molecule.

- 1. A competitive binding assay composition comprising:
(a) a sample suspected of containing an analyte; (b) a detection reagent comprising
the analyte or an analog thereof bound covalently to a first nucleic acid strand, and
a second nucleic acid strand complementary with and hybridized to the first nucleic acid strand,
