Question
Chapter 17.6, Problem 18CYP
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
ELISA is an immunoassay technique in which an enzyme-antibody complex is used as a color tracer for Ag-Ab reactions. the enzymes release a dye (chromogen) when exposed to their substrate. The technique is carried out on a solid support such as plastic microtiter plate, that can adsorb the reactants. The ELISA can be either capture ELISA or indirect ELISA.
