<p>A method for assaying for the presence of analyte in a sample based on differential binding affinity involves detecting dissociation of a complex of receptor and ligand in the presence of analyte. The receptor binds the analyte with high affinity and with the ligand with low affinity. The receptor-ligand complex may be formed in situ or may be preformed. In the presence of free analyte, the receptor releases from the receptor-ligand complex and binds free analyte. Release of the receptor-ligand complex is detectable. A kit for performing release assays to detect the presence of analyte is also provided.</p> |
