Detection of antibodies is essential for the diagnosis of many diseases including infections, allergies, and autoimmune diseases. Current heterogeneous immunoassays require multiple time-consuming binding and washing steps, which limits their application in point-of-care diagnostics and high-throughput screening. Here, we report switchable reporter enzymes that allow simple colorimetric detection of antibodies directly in solution. Our approach is based on the antibody-induced disruption of an i ...[more]
