         118 . The method of  claim 117 , further comprising:
 (a) contacting the test sample with the at least one binding protein, wherein the binding protein binds to an epitope on the target or fragment thereof so as to form a first complex;   (b) contacting the complex with the at least one detectable label, wherein the detectable label binds to the binding protein or an epitope on the target or fragment thereof that is not bound by the binding protein to form a second complex; and   (c) detecting the presence, amount, or concentration of the target or fragment thereof in the test sample based on the signal generated by the detectable label in the second complex, wherein the presence, amount, or concentration of the target or fragment thereof is directly correlated with the signal generated by the detectable label.   
     
     
         119 . The method of  claim 117 , further comprising:
 (a) contacting the test sample with the at least one binding protein, wherein the binding protein binds to an epitope on the target or fragment thereof so as to form a first complex;   (b) contacting the complex with the at least one detectable label, wherein the detectable label competes with the target or fragment thereof for binding to the binding protein so as to form a second complex; and   (c) detecting the presence, amount, or concentration of the target or fragment thereof in the test sample based on the signal generated by the detectable label in the second complex, wherein the presence, amount, or concentration of the target or fragment thereof is indirectly correlated with the signal generated by the detectable label.
