Abstract
The present disclosure describes immunoassays for detecting cardiac troponin-T (cTnT) in a test sample, and in particular immunoassays and kits for detecting cTnT in a test sample suspected of containing substances that may interfere with the determination of cTnT, such as heterophilic endogenous antibodies and autoantibodies to cTnT. The methods use more than one capture phase antibody and more than one detection antibody to improve specificity, and provide for the use of humanized immunoreagents to overcome heterophilic antibody interferences.
