<p>The present invention features an adduct protection assay involving the use of a labelled binding partner and a signal altering ligand. The signal altering ligand can preferentially alter the ability of label which is not part of a binding partner:analyte complex to produce a detectable signal, compared to its ability to alter signal produced from label which is part of a binding partner:analyte complex. The presence or amount of analyte can be determined by detecting the signal produced from unaltered label. The adduct protection assay is very versatile. For example, alteration of signal can be carried out under a wide range of conditions (e.g., pH, temperature, and ionic strength), and both label alteration and signal triggering can be carried out at essentially constant temperature to achieve a high degree of sensitivity. <IMAGE></p> |
