  • Specific binding assays employing label analog to reduce sample interferences
    Patent number: 4810635
    Abstract: A specific binding assay, e.g., immunoassay, method and reagent system wherein a structural analog of the label portion of the labeled reagent is included in the reaction mixture to interact with potentially interfering substances in the test sample. The label analog is selected or designed to be substantially inactive in the assay detection system. The invention improves the precision of the assays, particularly homogeneous immunoassays, by significantly reducing or eliminating the variable interaction, e.g., binding, of the labeled reagent by interfering substances in the test sample.
