A competitive, double antibody enzyme immunoassay for oxytocin in a heterologous system was developed. Horseradish peroxidase was conjugated with oxytocin using N-succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio) propionate, and rabbit anti-oxytocin serum was produced by immunization of oxytocin-bovine serum albumin complex which was prepared by the carbodiimide method. The sensitivity of the assay was 4 microI...
