Study Notes

ELISA Overview

The purpose of ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) is to detect and quantify substances such as proteins, peptides, antibodies, and hormones.

ELISA Mechanism

The most common detectable signal produced in ELISA is a color change.
The enzyme-linked antibody plays a role in catalyzing a chemical reaction to produce the detectable signal.

Antigen Attachment

In the simplest form of ELISA, antigens from the sample to be tested are attached to a microtiter plate well.

History of ELISA

The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was first described in the year 1971.
