Report Highlights
-
As the human genome-sequencing project nears completion and other organisms' genomes are sequenced, the number of known proteins increases. Many proteins are currently being used and will be used as diagnostic tools in immunoassays. Immunoassays are used in a variety of applications: medical diagnostics, infectious disease testing, drug testing, home use, hormones, veterinary diagnostic, cancer, tissue typing, research, food testing, environmental testing, industrial chemicals, plant disease diagnostics, and biotechnology products testing. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent, chemiluminescent, fluorescent, radio-labeled, and immunoprecipitation are some of the old and new immunoassay technologies being used. New immunoassay technologies are also being developed. Since the number of known proteins and the potential number of immunoassays are increasing, it is interesting to analyze the current and developing immunoassay technologies and markets.
