  • Publication number: 20200096502
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and/or kits for detecting an analyte in a sample. Some embodiments provide a method for detecting a non-nucleic acid analyte in a sample using a solid substrate comprising a bound immobilisation agent and an antibody capture agent and a detectable agent, which can bind to the analyte. The antibody capture agent comprises, at a plurality of sites, a ligand for the immobilisation agent. A complex between the analyte, the antibody capture agent and a detectable agent is formed and immobilised on the solid substrate by binding between the immobilisation agent and the ligand. In some embodiments, the ligand and the immobilisation agent are a binding pair comprising a peptide tag and an anti-peptide tag antibody.

  • Publication number: 20170138937
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a one-step immunoassay, in which a solid substrate is pre-coated with an immobilisation agent, and whereby the capture agent, the analyte and the detection agent are added to the solid substrate together, followed by a wash step prior to detection. Methods and kits for detecting an analyte in a sample are disclosed. The capture agent can bind the analyte and comprises a ligand for an immobilisation agent. Certain embodiments are directed to antibody capture agents and/or antibody detectable agents. Certain embodiments are directed to a ligand comprising a peptide tag and an immobilisation agent comprising an anti-peptide tag antibody. Certain embodiments are directed to detection of more than one analyte.
