Claim:
1. A testing method for presence of antibodies to an antigen from a host, comprising: (a) providing: (b) placing a serum specimen from a host in the sample well; (c) selectively forming a quaternary complex of: (d) capturing the quaternary complex which migrates through the test strip using the immobilized ligand binding agent at the test area; and (e) capturing the complex comprising the antigen and the detector, unbound to host antigen-specific antibodies, which migrates through the test strip past the test area, by using the immobilized anti-non-host IgG antibody, to thereby indicate a presence of the host antigen-specific antibodies by an indication at the test area and validity of the test by an indication at the control area.
