New simplified variants of iPCR have recently been described where antibodies are
connected with multiple DNA templates through gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) to form a new
class of detection reagents. In this study we compared functionalized Au-NP-based iPCR (NanoiPCR)
with standard ELISA and iPCR for the detection of interleukin (IL)-3 and stem cell factor
(SCF).
