  • Patent number: 4870003
    Abstract: A solid-phase immunoassay is provided for determination of members of an immunological pair such as antigen and/or antibody of a single binding pair in human physiological fluid, wherein a single immunoassay enables simultaneous detection of antigen and/or antibody of a single binding pair in a test sample which may have circulating antigen and/or antibody. The immunoassay is characterized by the addition of an amount of antigen or "spike" of the binding pair to the test sample prior to incubation of the test sample in the presence of a solid-phase absorbed antibody of the binding pair. The test sample preferably also is subjected to a lysing reagent prior to the incubation for uniformly dispensing antigens which may be present in the test sample.
