Improved methods for detecting antibodies in test samples. The improvement comprises uses CKS-fusion proteins specific for the antibodies in assays such as screening assays, competitive assays, confirmatory assays and immunodot assays. Test kits which contain these CKS-fusion proteins useful in such assays also are provided.
