Abstract

See full text

A method for assaying circulating immune complexes comprises contacting the circulating immune complexes in solution in serum with a staphylococcal protein-A linked to a detectable label, whereby a CIC-protein-A-label complex is formed, selectively precipitating the CIC-SPA-label complex by contacting the complex with polyethylene glycol, separating the precipitated CIC-SPA-label complex from the serum, measuring the quantity of the label in the precipitated CIC-protein-A-label complex comparing the measured quantity of label with at least one standard prepared by subjecting a solution containing a known amount of CIC or functional equivalent material to the same assay. The method requires only a single precipitation step and in a preferred embodiment the formation of the CIC-SPA-label complex may be formed in a single step.
