    Abstract: A method for obtaining an actual linear standard curve in a sandwich type of immunoassay where a first antibody bound to an insoluble support and a second unbound labelled antibody complex with the antigen contained in a test sample to form an insoluble antibody:antigen:labelled antibody complex which is then detected. Unbound unlabelled first antibody and/or unbound unlabelled second antibody are added to the reaction mixture to divert excess antigen away from the desired end-product complex, thus rendering the antigen of interest the rate-limiting factor in the overall immunoreaction. This results in a pseudo first-order reaction which produces an actual linear standard curve.

    Abstract: An immunoassay for assaying an antigenic substance (Ag) in a fluid. The immunoassay is the type which comprises contacting the fluid with at least one first entity selected from a group consisting of an antibody (Ab) to the Ag, a soluble, labeled antibody (L-Aba) to the Ag, and an antibody (Abb) to the Ag bound to a solid support (SC). The immunoassay is characterized in that the fluid is contacted with at least one additional entity selected from a group consisting of at least one different type of soluble, labeled antibody (L-Abc) to the Ag, at least one different type of antibody (Abd) bound to a solid carrier (SC1), and at least one different type of antibody (Abe) to the Ag. The SC1 is selected from a group consisting of SC, at least one different solid carrier (SC2), and mixtures thereof (SC and SC2). Each type of L-Abc, Abd-SC1, and Abe has a lower average affinity constant (K) for Ag than each respective K of L-Aba, Abb-SC and Ab e; and the additional entity is present in an amount sufficient to avoid a hook effect. Also, a reagent of the type comprising at least one first entity selected from a group consisting of L-Aba, Abb-SC, and Ab. The reagent is characterized in that it further comprises at least one additional entity selected from a group consisting of at least one different type of L-Abc and at least one different type of Abd-SC1, and at least one different type of Abe. Ab, L-Aba, Abb-SC, L-Abc, Abd-SC1, and Abe are as defined above.
