Simultaneous extraction of a ligand from a sample and capture by anti-ligands therefor in ligand/anti-ligand assays

摘要

Methods and kits for performing a ligand/anti-ligand assay are described. The ligand/anti-ligand assay comprises: (1) simultaneously carrying out the extraction of a ligand from a sample of cells or cells and reaction of the ligand with at least two anti-ligands therefor to form a detectable reaction product, and (2) detecting the reaction product.
