Fig. 1 — The Multimer Detection System concept. a Monomers are proteins with a single epitope that can be captured by an antibody (capturing antibody 6E10) attached to the surface of the plate. After the addition of a detection antibody (FF51-horseradish peroxidase [HRP]), monomer proteins cannot be detected, because the single epitope is already occupied. b Multimers with numerous epitopes can be detected by detection antibodies. The capturing and detection antibodies are different, but their epitopes overlap. ELISA Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
