What is an ELISA?
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
Name suggests three components
Antibody
Allows for specific detection of analyte of
interest
Solid phase (sorbent)
Allows one to wash away all the material that is
not specifically captured
Enzymatic amplification
Allows you to turn a little capture into a visible
color change that can be quantified using an
absorbance plate reader
What is it used for?
Quantitative
Usual operating range
[Ab] or [Ag]
Reproducible precipitation
10 g/ml - 1 mg/ml
immunoelectrophoresis
Kit format double/radial diffusion
Different Types
Indirect
Sandwich
Competitive
Can Be Used To Detect Both Antibody
and Antigen
Very Sensitive, pg/mL (Ex. 10 pg/mL)
Indirect ELISA
A substrate for this enzyme is then added.
Often, this substrate changes colour upon
reaction with the enzyme. The colour change
shows that secondary antibody has bound to
primary antibody, which strongly implies that
the donor has had an immune reaction to the
test antigen.
