Manufacturer Narrative
|
The presence of human anti-mouse antibodies (hama) in the sample were confirmed.This limitation is covered in product labeling.The complained sample contains high amounts of hama and even higher amounts of specific analyte, which is further corroborated by the observation of the customer that dilution of the complaint sample leads to detection of high titers of specific analyte.In such a scenario, the dilution leads to dilution of the hama effect while the remaining analyte is sufficient to compete with the assay antibody conjugates for binding to the antigen.Hence the higher the dilution ratio, the more likely the true analyte concentration is detected.
