•a procedure
in which a reagent antigen is adsorbed unto a solid phase and the patient=s sample is added (antibody).An labeled anti-human globulin (AHG) is then added and the amount of bound, labeled AHG is then
measured.
•Procedure:
•9a
commercially prepared antigen is adsorbed unto a solid phase
•9patient serum
containing the unlabeled antibody is then added and will bind with the labeled antigen
forming Ag-Ab complexes
bound to solid phase
•9a separation
step is necessary to remove the unbound immunoglobulins from system
