Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay

13.2K
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:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Immunology
  • Pathogen Detection

Background:

  • Nucleic acid-based tests (NATs) and rapid antigen tests (e.g., lateral flow assays [LFAs]) are standard for pathogen detection.
  • NATs offer high sensitivity and specificity but require specialized equipment, limiting their use in resource-poor settings.
  • There is a need for accessible, sensitive, and specific pathogen detection methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a rapid, amplification-free assay for pathogen RNA detection.
  • To create a versatile method adaptable to different formats like ELISA and LFA.
  • To demonstrate the broad applicability of the assay for detecting various pathogens.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a DNA-RNA Hybrid Capture (HC) immunoassay utilizing the S9.6 antibody, which targets DNA-RNA hybrids.
  • Employed biotinylated DNA probes to hybridize with target RNA, followed by capture and S9.6 antibody detection.
  • Adapted the assay into both HC-ELISA and HC-LFA formats for pathogen detection.

Main Results:

  • The HC-ELISA detected as few as 10^4 RNA molecules (2.2 kb).
  • The HC-LFA detected Bacillus anthracis RNA from a bacterial load of 10^7 CFU/100 mg tissue.
  • Demonstrated successful detection of SARS-CoV-2 and Toxoplasma gondii RNA, showcasing assay versatility.

Conclusions:

  • The developed Hybrid Capture assay is a sensitive and versatile RNA detection method.
  • Its ability to function without nucleic acid amplification and in economical formats (ELISA, LFA) makes it suitable for resource-limited settings.
  • HC offers a promising molecular tool for sentinel labs and basic research for broad pathogen surveillance.
