Indirect Immunometric ELISA
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols
|May 3, 2017
Abstract:
This assay facilitates the immunometric determination of assay-associated reagents including the capture and detection antibodies as well as the analyte (i.e., antigen or antibody). It can precede the development of a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in which optimal antibody concentrations are applied for the quantitative measurement of the antigen. This protocol describes the materials and equipment required for the measurement of chromogenic substrate development; however, it can be adapted for use with chemiluminescent- and fluorescent-labeled reporters.

In 1971, Peter Perlman and Eva Engvall developed an Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA or EIA). ELISA differs from western blot in that the assays are conducted in microtiter plates or in vivo rather than on an absorbent membrane.
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...

Immunoelectron microscopy utilizes immunogold labeling of endogenous proteins with specific antibodies to detect and localize these proteins in cells and tissues. The procedure provides insights into the distribution and quantification of protein under different stimulation conditions offering clues about their functions. Conjugating highly electron-dense gold particles with primary or secondary antibodies allow antigen detection on and within cells, with high resolution and specificity.
