Abstract

Molecular binding partners such as antibodies and haptens are immobilized to support materials that have the property of contact activation of blood protein coagulation. A binding partner is attached to a surface-active protein carrier and the resulting conjugate non-covalently adsorbs onto the surface of the support. The method provides for diagnostic assays of greater sensitivity and convenience.
