Abstract
The invention relates to antibody characteristics used to design a whole blood Point of Care Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) immunoassay using an ELISA sandwich assay lacking one or more wash steps between the antigen capture, detection antibody addition and substrate introduction steps. This invention exhibits low cross reactivity with biologically similar interfering cross reacting species, such as Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Chorionic Gonadotropin (CG).
