The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (theory, technique and applications)
Abstract:
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) are useful for measuring levels on antigens and antibodies. Both competitive and sandwich methods can be used. These assays are analogous to radioimmunoassays in format and have similar sensitivity. However, results can sometimes by read visually and even for objective readings only simple equipment is needed. ELISA has been used to measure hormones and other protein antigens and has also been used to assay antibody levels.

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.
