Abstract

There has been a paradign shift in the status of immunoassays. There used to be a time where immunoassays had a very narrow role in clinical medicine, but that is not the case in today's world. Immunoassays have taken a central role in helping us better understand and treat human diseases. The literature around anti-ovarian antibodies (AOA) immunoassay testings have been conflicting. Researchers challenged the specificity of the reported assays, but a systematic study was never elucidated on what/who the trouble maker was in rendering these tests so nonspecific. Attempts were made by our group in Mumbai, India, to throw light on the culprit behind the nonspecificity casative factor in the immunoassays and a method to overcome this was reported and published. This review highlights the stories back five and a half decades to date, to demonstrate where the status of AOA testing was, is and will be.
