Method For Detection Of Antigen-Specific Antibodies In Biological Samples

Description

Disclosed herein is a rapid and universal assay for the detection of antigen-specific antibodies in biological samples. The assay allows for the detection of antigen-specific antibodies in any species, including species for which secondary antibodies or antisera have not been developed or are not available. Biological samples to be tested are directly labeled, such as with biotin, and contacted with antigen-bound microparticles. The presence of antigen-specific antibodies in the biological samples is detected using a binding partner for the label, such as a biotin binding partner, conjugated to a detectable label, such as a fluorophore. This improved test provides a total antibody assay that is capable of detecting all classes of antibodies simultaneously.
