## Claims

### Claim 1

A combination comprising a plurality of different single domain antibodies or a plurality of different immune complexes comprising a single domain antibody bound to an IgG antibody, wherein the single domain antibodies are selected from a combination of several single domain antibodies recognizing the same type of IgG molecules, which bind to non-overlapping epitopes on said IgG molecules,
wherein the single domain antibodies are selected from:
(i) single domain antibodies directed against rabbit IgG of SEQ ID NOs. 1 or 2; or
(ii) single domain antibodies directed against mouse IgG of SEQ ID NOs. 3-34.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The combination according to claim 1, wherein the single domain antibodies are selected from a combination of
(i) single domain antibodies of SEQ ID NO. 5 and SEQ ID NO. 8,
(ii) single domain antibodies of SEQ ID NO. 8 and SEQ ID NO. 19,
(iii) single domain antibodies of SEQ ID NO. 18 and SEQ ID NO. 19,
(iv) single domain antibodies of SEQ ID NO. 5 and SEQ ID NO. 18,
(v) single domain antibodies of SEQ ID NO. 5 and SEQ ID NO. 25, or
(vi) single domain antibodies comprising the sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1 and SEQ ID NO. 2.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The combination according to claim 1, wherein the single domain antibodies are selected from a combination of 2 or 3 single domain antibodies.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The combination according to claim 1, wherein the same type of IgG molecules are selected from the group consisting of mouse IgG1, mouse IgG2a and rabbit IgG.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The combination according to claim 1, wherein said non-overlapping epitopes on said IgG molecules are epitopes on different regions on said IgG molecules.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The combination according to claim 5, wherein said different regions on said IgG molecules are selected from the group consisting of a light chain, a κ and/or λ light chain, and a Fc or hinge fragment of said IgG molecules.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The combination according to claim 5, wherein said epitopes are on the light chain of said IgG molecules.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

The combination according to claim 5, wherein said epitopes are on the κ and/or λ light chain of said IgG molecules.

### Claim 9 (depends on 5)

The combination according to claim 5, wherein said epitopes are on the Fc or hinge fragment of said IgG molecules.

### Claim 10

A combination comprising a plurality of different single domain antibodies or a plurality of different immune complexes comprising a single domain antibody bound to an IgG antibody, wherein the single domain antibodies are selected from a combination of several single domain antibodies recognizing the same type of IgG molecules, which bind to non-overlapping epitopes on said IgG molecules,
wherein at least one single domain antibody of said combination
(i) is directed against rabbit IgG of SEQ ID NOs. 1 or 2; or
(ii) is directed against mouse IgG of SEQ ID NOs. 3-34.

### Claim 11

A combination comprising a plurality of different single domain antibodies comprising a single domain antibody bound to an IgG antibody, wherein the single domain antibodies are selected from a combination of several single domain antibodies recognizing the same type of IgG molecules, which bind to non-overlapping epitopes on said IgG molecules,
wherein the single domain antibodies are selected from a combination of:
(i) the single domain antibodies comprising amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NO. 5 and SEQ ID NO. 8;
(ii) the single domain antibodies comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. 8 and SEQ ID NO. 19;
(iii) the single domain antibodies comprising the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NO. 18 and SEQ ID NO. 19;
(iv) the single domain antibodies comprising the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NO. 5 and SEQ ID NO. 18;
(v) the single domain antibodies comprising the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NO. 5 and SEQ ID NO. 25; or
(vi) the single domain antibodies comprising the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NO:1 and SEQ ID NO:2.
