Abstract
Methods include determining an amount of an epimeric vitamin D analyte in a sample suspected of containing the epimeric vitamin D analyte. A combination is provided in an assay medium that includes the sample and a vitamin D epimer antibody that is specific for the epimeric vitamin D analyte. The assay medium is incubated under conditions for binding of the vitamin D epimer antibody to the epimeric vitamin D analyte to form an epimeric vitamin D antibody-bound complex. The amount of the epimeric vitamin D antibody-bound complex is determined and related to the amount of epimeric vitamin D analyte in the sample.
