Abstract
The invention provides in vitro methods of detection 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 samples. The methods can be effected using a sandwich format among others.
