Specificity of immunoassays

Abstract: The specificity of immunoassays can be improved by using a second antiserum to bind substances that cross-react. Both theory and practice show that the effectiveness of the procedure is dependent of the complex interplay of the concentrations of the two antibodies, the concentrations of the three antigens involved (the labelled tracer, the antigen whose concentration is to be measured and the substance that cross reacts) and the affinities of the antibodies for these antigens. Measured cross-reactions can freq… Show more
