Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay

17.9K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Bioinformatics
  • Vaccinology

Background:

  • Access to experimental immune epitope data is crucial for developing therapeutics and vaccines.
  • The Immune Epitope Database and Analysis Resource (IEDB) was created to centralize this information.
  • The IEDB covers a wide range of diseases and species, including humans and animals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the Immune Epitope Database and Analysis Resource (IEDB).
  • To detail the data capture and organization processes within the IEDB.
  • To showcase querying methods and diverse applications of the IEDB.

Main Methods:

  • Data curation from published literature and direct researcher submissions.
  • Organization of epitope and assay information for various immune responses (T cell, B cell, MHC binding).
  • Development of user-friendly search interfaces for data retrieval.

Main Results:

  • The IEDB provides a vast, accessible repository of immune epitope data.
  • Information is categorized by disease type (infectious, autoimmune, allergic, transplant) and species.
  • The database supports various experimental types, including T cell, B cell, and MHC-related assays.

Conclusions:

  • The IEDB serves as a vital, free resource for the biomedical research community.
  • Its comprehensive data and search functionalities empower vaccine and therapeutic development.
  • The database facilitates diverse research applications in immunology and related fields.
