IMPROVED IMMUNE COMPLEX ASSAY

摘要

An improved method for detecting disease-related antigen in a patient sample is provided. Antigen which is present in an immune complex is detected by exposing a patient sample to a solid phase having immobilized binding substance for the immune complexes. The immune complexes are thus captured and may subsequently be separated from the sample by removing the solid phase. The presence of the disease-related antigen within the separated immune complex can then be detected on the solid phase by conventional means.
