  • Publication number: 20230393125
    Abstract: Herein is reported a method for determining free antigen of an antibody in an undiluted serum sample comprising the steps of a) applying the undiluted sample to a solid phase on which a capture antibody has been immobilized to form a capture antibody-antigen complex, wherein the capture antibody competes with the antibody for binding to a first epitope on the antigen, b) applying to the solid phase a tracer antibody to form a capture antibody-antigen-tracer antibody complex, wherein the tracer antibody specifically binds to a second epitope on the antigen, wherein the epitope of the tracer antibody is not overlapping with the epitope of the capture antibody on the antigen, and c) determining the free antigen of the antibody by determining the tracer antibody in the capture antibody-antigen-tracer antibody complex.
