Abstract

Embodiments of hapten conjugates including a hapten, an optional linker, and a peroxidase-activatable aryl moiety are disclosed. In some embodiments, the peroxidase-activatable aryl moiety is tyramine or a tyramine derivative. Embodiments of methods for making and using the hapten conjugates also are disclosed. In particular embodiments, the hapten conjugates are used in a signal amplification assay. In certain embodiments, the hapten is an oxazole, a pyrazole, a thiazole, a benzofurazan, a triterpene, a urea, a thiourea other than a rhodamine thiourea, a nitroaryl other than dinitrophenyl or trinitrophenyl, a rotenoid, a cyclolignan, a heterobiaryl, an azoaryl, a benzodiazepine, or 7-diethylamino-3-carboxycoumarin. The hapten is coupled to the peroxidase-activatable aryl moiety directly or indirectly via a linker. In certain embodiments, the hapten conjugates are used in multiplexed assays.
