  • Immuno-PCR method for the detection of a biomolecule in a test sample
    Publication number: 20050239108
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods and kits for detecting and/or monitoring biological molecules in a test sample. For example, the invention relates to methods and kits for detecting and/or monitoring HIV p24 antigen in human body fluid, biological toxins such as ricin or botulism in an environmental or biological sample, and prion protein from human, deer or bovine, such as PrPSC, in a biological sample. The antigen detection signal is boosted by amplification of a polynucleotide linked to a detector molecule using methods for nucleic acid amplification technology.
