摘要 |
The present invention relates to a method for the simultaneous detection of more than one antibody and/or more than one class of antibodies or more than one antigen, or of one or more antibodies and/or one or more classes of antibodies and one or more antigens present in a test sample, use of the method for the diagnosis of or screening for disorders or diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, toxins or allergens as well as to kits for performing the method. In accordance with the present method, complexes formed between antibodies in the sample to be tested and selected optionally labelled antigens (antibody-antigen complexes), and/or between antigens in the sample to be tested and selected optionally labelled antibodies (antibody-antigen complexes) are captured by means of a substance having ability to bind antibody-antigen complexes, which substance is or will be immobilised onto a solid support. The captured labelled antibody-antigen complexes are observed or measured on the solid support and the observation or measurement is related to the presence of antibodies and/or antigens in said test sample.
