Abstract
The invention provides methods of diagnosis using human antibodies. The methods are particularly useful for analyzing human samples containing HAMA or heterophilic antibodies. A human antibody can bind to an analyte in such samples without binding to HAMA or heterophilic antibodies present in the sample. The methods can be effected using a sandwhich format among others.
