ABSTRACT:
This invention pertains to methods to detect antibodies in a sample. The methods use an amount of antigen that is up to 1000, preferably 10-100 times the minimum amount antigen that can be reliably detected and that is less than the maximum expected amount of antibodies in the sample. An antigen:antibody complex is formed and becomes bound to a binding agent that does not bind free antigen. The free antigen is then detected as a measure of antibodies present in the sample.
