Any immunologic procedure in which a labeled indicator is added to the specifically reacting antigen and antibody. Most often it is a solid-phase immunosorbent procedure in which the labeled reactant is immunologically similar to the immobilized reactant, thereby sandwiching the material under test between layers of known reactants. Indirect fluorescent antibody techniques are also sandwich techniques. 1, record 2, English, - sandwich%20technique
