IMMUNOASSAYS EXHIBITING REDUCED CROSS-REACTIVITY WITH HYDROPHOBIC DRUG ANALYTE METABOLITES

The present disclosure provides among other things immunoassays exhibiting reduced cross-reactivity with analyte metabolites. Additionally, the present disclosure provides diagnostic immunoassays to determine the concentration or level in a test sample of a hydrophobic drug that metabolizes in vivo or in vitro to form cross-reacting metabolites wherein cross-reactivity with such metabolites of the drug analyte is reduced. In particular, the disclosure provides such immunoassays where the hydrophobic drug is an immunosuppressant drug such as cyclosporine A.
