    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Immunology
    • Analytical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Traditional enzyme immunoassay (EIA) utilizes polystyrene plates as solid phases.
    • Enhancing the sensitivity of EIA is crucial for detecting low concentrations of target analytes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate filter paper discs as an alternative solid phase in EIA.
    • To assess the impact of using paper discs on the sensitivity of sandwich EIA.
    • To explore the utility of paper discs for antigen-antibody sorption and affinity purification.

    Main Methods:

    • Filter paper discs were employed as the solid phase in a sandwich enzyme immunoassay (EIA).
    • The sensitivity of the paper disc-based EIA was compared to traditional methods.
    • The capacity of paper discs for antigen and antibody sorption was investigated.

    Main Results:

    • The use of filter paper discs significantly increased the sensitivity of sandwich EIA.
    • Detection of Yersinia pestis capsular antigen was achieved at concentrations as low as 0.4 ng/ml.
    • Paper discs demonstrated effectiveness in both antigen-antibody sorption and affinity purification.

    Conclusions:

    • Filter paper discs offer a highly sensitive alternative solid phase for EIA.
    • This method enables the detection of Yersinia pestis antigen at very low levels.
    • Paper discs have potential applications in antigen-antibody purification processes.
