Abstract:
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) detects qualitatively and quantitatively the presence of antibodies or antigens in a sample. Due to its simplicity, high sensitivity, and user-friendliness, the test is widely used in laboratory research, clinical diagnoses, and food testing. This chapter describes the indirect semiquantitative ELISA protocol used to monitor antibody levels in animals and analyze the titer levels of specific antibodies against a target antigen in serum and saliva.
