Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for detecting an amplification product. Amplification is accomplished through the use of a plurality of detection probes. The present invention is also directed to a method for detecting a target nucleic acid sequence by contacting a test sample with an excess of at least three pairs of nucleic acid amplification probes.
Abstract: An improved method for detecting antibodies is disclosed. The method involves the steps of a) mixing the specimen with a diluent comprising superoxide dismutase, and b) contacting the diluted specimen with at least one recombinant antigen expressed as a fusion protein with superoxide dismutase.
