  • CO-COUPLING TO CONTROL REACTIVITY OF REAGENTS IN IMMUNOASSAYS
    Publication number: 20140024556
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for controlling immunoassay reactivity are provided. In one embodiment, a method for preparing a substrate for an immunoassay is provided in which a composition containing a reagent and a neutral material is applied to a substrate under conditions suitable to couple the reagent and the neutral material to the substrate.

  • Method for Characterizing Autoimmune Disorders
    Publication number: 20070141656
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods of characterizing autoimmune diseases by detecting and measuring at least one analyte using multiplexed assay systems. According to one embodiment, a target is detected and measured by different bead sets having different reactants. According to another approach the ratio of self-antigen to autoantibody is measured by exposing a sample suspected of containing self-antigen and autoantibody to a bead set associated with monoclonal antibody specific for the self-antigen and a bead set associated with the self-antigen.
