ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an improved method for detecting and quantifying the presence of a target molecule, such as an antigen, an antibody or a polynucleotide, in a sample which method uses alkaline phosphatase as the reporter enzyme and the reduction of a tetrazolium salt to a formazan as part of the detection/signaling system.
