A multivalent antibody radioimmunoassay (MARIA) for screening specific antibody secretion by lymphocyte hybridoma
A new radioimmunoassay which is suitable for screening lymphocyte hybridoma cultures for monoclonal antibody production is described. Solid-phase antigen is first incubated with the sample, and secondly with soluble 125I-labeled antigen. When the sample contains multivalent specific antibody, the labeled antigen will be bound to the solid-phase antigen. Because no anti-immunoglobulin reagent is used as a second reagent, this type of radioimmunoassay offers several advantages, in particular for the production of monoclonal anti-idiotypic antibodies.

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.
