Abstract:
Test devices are provided for determining the presence of a first ligand in a sample. In some embodiments depletion conjugates are used to deplete the ligands different from but related to the first ligands from the sample.

Claim (Index 27):
A method for testing a sample for the presence of a first  flavivirus  ligand, comprising:\n a) obtaining a test device having a first sorbent strip having a first location for receiving a solution and defining a first migration path, a marker conjugate located on or in said first migration path, said marker conjugate adapted to bind to said first ligand, a second sorbent strip distinct from said first sorbent strip and having a second location for receiving the liquid sample and defining a second migration path, depletion molecules located on or in said second migration path wherein said depletion molecules include a ligand-binding element including antigens specific to at least one of a second  flavivirus  antibody and an  alphavirus  antibody that are adapted to specifically bind to second ligands that are different from but related to said first  flavivirus  ligand to which said depletion molecules will not substantially bind, and a test site located on or in at least one of said first sorbent strip and said second sorbent strip, said test site having an immobilized ligand-binding mechanism for said first  flavivirus  ligand, and said first and second sorbent strips touching each other at the test site location, wherein said second location is removed from said test site such that sample applied to said second location requires time to migrate to said test site and does not immediately wet said test site; b) applying the sample to said second location; c) after said applying the sample, applying a solution to the first location to cause said marker conjugate to migrate along said first migration path; and d) inspecting said test site to determine an indication of the presence or lack thereof of the first  flavivirus  ligand in the sample.
