Claim Text:
1. An immunological assay method for assessing a first analyte in a target sample obtained from a first mammalian species, which method comprises: a) obtaining a first analytical signal for said first analyte by contacting said first analyte with an antibody or an antigen binding fragment thereof; b) assessing said first analyte by correlating said first analytical signal for said first analyte with a second analytical signal obtained for a second analyte of a second mammalian species different from the first, said second analyte signal having been obtained by contacting said second analyte with said antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof, wherein said first and second analytes are immunologically related; wherein: c) calibrating said assay by correlating said second analytical signal obtained for said second analyte of said second mammalian species with said first analytical signal obtained for said first analyte by assigning an analytical value derived from a calibration curve for said second analyte to said first analytical signal of said first analyte.
