ABSTRACT:
An improved immunoassay method and kit have been developed that include a sample pretreatment method and kit employing an alkylating agent that modifies antibodies in the sample to render the antibodies incapable of interfering with analyte detection. Prior to performing the immunoassay, the alkylating agent is inactivated so that it does not modify antibody reagents used in the immunoassay.
