ABSTRACT:
A specific binding immunoassay method for reducing the "hook" effect for the measurement of C-Reactive Protein has been discovered for both solution and dry analytical elements comprising contacting a liquid sample containing C-reactive protein in the presence of calcium ions with (a) a first antibody Ab1 specific for C-reactive protein, Ab1 being immobilized on a water-insoluble substrate and (b) a labeled, unbound second antibody Ab2 specific for C-reactive protein to obtain a water-insoluble complex of Ab1, ligand, and Ab2; (2) separating the water-insoluble complex from the liquid sample and unreacted Ab2; and (3) measuring either the amount of Ab2 associated with said water-insoluble complex or the amount of unreacted Ab2 as an indication of the amount of C-reactive protein in the sample.
