Abstract
A specific sensitized matrix for diagnosing both infectious and non-infectious disease is disclosed comprised of an insoluble, inert, pliable and wettable matrix having a network of pores, and a protein polymer network immobilized in the network of pores formed of protein carrier molecules, specific antigens or antibodies, and a coupling agent coupling the protein carrier molecules together and the antigen or antibody to the protein carrier molecules. A variety of matrix materials, protein carrier molecules, specific antigens or antibodies and coupling agents can be used. Methods of preparing the sensitized matrix and diagnostic test procedures utilizing the sensitized matrix for detecting disease are also disclosed.
