Abstract
Abstract The present invention provides a process for the determination of a specifically bindable substance by incubation of a sample solution with at least three receptors R 1 , R 2 and R 3 , of which R 1 is specifically bindable with R 2 and R 3 , as well as with the substance to be determined, R 2 brings about the binding to a solid phase and R 3 carries a labelling, separation of bound labelling from unbound labelling and measurement of the labelling in one of the two phases, wherein, as receptor R 1 , a receptor is used which has at least two binding positions which bind specifically with an epitope of the substance to be determined, as R 2 a conjugate of a partner P 1 of a specifically binding pair and of a substance S which corresponds to the substance to be determined or is a derivative thereof and has at least one epitope of the substance to be determined, the partner P 1 thereby either being bound to a solid phase or being immobilized, and as R 3 a complex is used which contains at least the substance S and a labelling.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
177 words
Method for determination of a specifically bindable substance comprising: incubating a liquid sample with at least three receptors R 1 , R 2 and R 3 , wherein (a) R 1 specifically binds with R 2 , R 3 and said specifically bindable substance and is an antibody or an Fab 2 fragment; (b) R 2 comprises a conjugate of (i) a substance S which is identical to the specifically bindable substance to be determined and (ii) a first partner P 1 of a binding pair, (c) R 3 comprises a conjugate of S and a label, to form complexes containing R 1 , R 2 and R 3 , (d) adding a second partner of a specific binding pair P 2 to said liquid sample together with a solid phase, wherein P 2 binds to said solid phase and to P 1 to immobilize said complexes containing R 1 , R 2 and R 3 , and, determining R 3 bound to solid phase or in liquid phase as a determination of said specifically bindable substance.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
177 words
Method for determination of a specifically bindable substance comprising: incubating a liquid sample with at least three receptors R 1 , R 2 and R 3 , wherein (a) R 1 specifically binds with R 2 , R 3 and said specifically bindable substance and is an antibody or an Fab 2 fragment; (b) R 2 comprises a conjugate of (i) a substance S which is identical to the specifically bindable substance to be determined and (ii) a first partner P 1 of a binding pair, (c) R 3 comprises a conjugate of S and a label, to form complexes containing R 1 , R 2 and R 3 , (d) adding a second partner of a specific binding pair P 2 to said liquid sample together with a solid phase, wherein P 2 binds to said solid phase and to P 1 to immobilize said complexes containing R 1 , R 2 and R 3 , and, determining R 3 bound to solid phase or in liquid phase as a determination of said specifically bindable substance.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
