Abstract:
An immunoassay for detecting an activated ras p21 in a bodily fluid comprising:(a) reacting each of a plurality of samples of the bodily fluid with an immobilized anti-p21 pan reactive antibody so as to form complexes with any activated ras p21 present in the samples;(b) reacting each of the resulting samples of step (a) with (i) a detectably labeled, or (ii) an unlabeled, antibody capable of binding to an epitope on the activated ras p21; and(c) detecting either (i) the labeled antibody, or (ii) the unlabeled antibody, within one of the reaction products of step (b) so as to thereby detect the activated ras p21 in the bodily fluid.
