Abstract: An immunoassay of a specimen of a serum or the like to determine the composition of immune complexes, includes producing on a plastic base a layer of a non-proteinaceous, non-ionic polymer which will adhere to the plastic base and has the capability of adsorbing immune complexes of the specimen, placing a specimen on the layer and treating the layer to produce an indication of the composition of the immune complexes. The polymer may be polyethylene glycol, dextran, polyvinyl chloride, a polymeric polyol or an adduct of polyethylene glycol or mixtures thereof. Washing with conventional solutions, addition of monoclonal and/or polyclonal antibodies coupled with an enzyme and addition of a substrate reactive therewith to determine the antigen component, are similar to the ELISA test, with color measurement as by spectrophotometer. Or, the addition of anti IgG-I.sup.125 and measurement by a scintillation counter may be used. Addition of IgG, IgA, IgE, IgG.sub.

Abstract: An immunoassay of a specimen of a serum or the like to determine immune complexes, includes producing on a plastic base a layer of a non-proteinaceous, non-ionic polymer which will adhere to the plastic base and has the capability of absorbing immune complexes of the specimen, placing a specimen on the layer and treating the layer to produce an indication of the amount of immune complexes. The polymer may be polyethylene glycol, dextran, polyvinyl chloride, a polymeric polyol or an adduct of polyethylene glycol. Washing with conventional solutions, addition of an antihuman IgG coupled with an enzyme and addition of a substrate reactive therewith, are similar to the ELISA test, with color measurement as by spectrophotometer. Or, the addition of anti IgG-I.sup.125 and measurement by a scintillation counter may be used. The ethylene glycol may range in molecular weight from 2,000 to 20,000, although 6,000 to 8,000 is preferred.
