TSH IMMUNOASSAYS EMPLOYING SCAVENGING REAGENTS FOR CROSS-REACTING ENDOCRINE GLYCOPROTEIN HORMONE ANALOGUES

摘要

The invention relates to Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) immunoassays using an ELISA sandwich assay that employs scavenging or sacrificial beads for reducing interference caused by cross-reacting endocrine glycoprotein hormone analogues such as Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Chorionic Gonadotropin (CG).
