| 20100021944 | Method for Decreasing Interference in Results of Immunochemical Methods - Methods and materials are provided for decreasing or eliminating interference from molecules resulting from upstream immunochemical procedures, such as Immunoprecipitation, that employ an Immunoglobulin Binding Molecule (an IBM, e.g., Protein A) in subsequent downstream methods, such as Western Blot. An effective amount of a ligand of the IBM is used to block the IBM or fragments of the IBM on a support membrane used in the downstream method. In another embodiment, a secondary antibody that is specific either for heavy chain or light chain antibody fragments or that recognizes intact antibody molecules but does not recognize individual antibody fragments may be employed with the ligand of the IBM. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100003698 | Kit of Materials for Decreasing Interference in Results of Immunochemical Methods - A kit of materials is provided for decreasing or eliminating interference from molecules resulting from upstream immunochemical assays, such as Immunoprecipitation, that employ an Immunoglobulin Binding Molecule (an IBM, e.g., Protein A) in subsequent downstream methods, such as Western Blot. The kit may include packing material, a ligand of an immunoglobulin binding molecule, the IBM itself, a solid support for the IBM, dry solids, primary antibodies, secondary antibodies having a reporter molecule, IBMs having a reporter molecule and combinations of the above materials. | 01-07-2010 |
