Said fluid sample is brought into contact with a solid phase matrix comprising a porous membrane and latex particles bound with recombinant protein A or G, resulting in a specific binding of antibodies from the sample. An antigen that is specific for the antibody that is to be detected is subsequently brought into contact with the matrix and forms a detectable complex. The invention is also directed at a device and a kit for carrying out immunodiagnostic assays.
