This disclosure describes assay methods and kits for detecting a target. The methods and kits can be used to detect a target that is present in a sample at low concentration because the methods and kits amplify the signal indicating the presence of target in the sample. Generally, the methods and kits involve nanoparticle aggregation as a detectable signal that is enhanced by a trigger released from a vesicular compartment when the target is bound to a capture agent. |
