Abstract:
Immunoassays are among the most powerful and useful techniques for analysis of biological materials. There are numerous variations in which immunoassays can be performed. Coupled with enzyme, using chromogenic substrates, the enzyme immunoassay technique is used to trace the target antigen in tissues. The technique also is used to measure the concentration of antigen in tissue extracts. This chapter provides fundamental information that is needed to carry out the routinely used procedures in plant virus research.

Western Blotting
The technique begins with separating proteins from the sample using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), followed by protein transfer, immunoblotting, and finally, protein detection.
Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen. Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or quantified.
Southern Blot
Denatured DNA fragments must be transferred onto a carrier membrane from the gel to make it accessible to a probe - a small ssDNA fragment complementary to the target DNA...
