Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using protein and antibody
1. What is the primary characteristic of Direct ELISA?
2. What is the purpose of the substrate in an ELISA test?
3. Which ELISA type is most suitable for quantitative analysis of antigens with high specificity?
4. Which of the following is not a principle of ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay)?
5. Arrange the following steps about ELISA in correct order.
- incubate with antibody-enzyme complex that binds primary antibody
- coat surface with antigen, block unoccupied sites with nonspecific protein
- add substrate, formation of colored product indicates presence of specific antigen
- incubate with primary antibody against specific antigen
6. What is the key feature of competitive ELISA?
