Immunoassay test kits

How accurate will those test kits be generally?

I'm not sure
But I would guess that how efficient it is would depend on
1) number of "cells" available to be tested
2) how fast the mutation is -
Hmm...
The antibodies picked must have a high affinity for the antigen (if there is antigen available, a very high proportion of it must bind to the antibody).
Antigen is also a deciding factor.
Should be quite accurate, assuming that the serum or urine doesn't have other antigens that attract the same antibodies as well... -

that would be the 3rd factor
other than that should be rather accurate I guess
