Study Notes
ELISA Technique
- The main concept of ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) is to detect and quantify antibodies or antigens in a sample.
Monoclonal Antibodies in ELISA
- The purpose of using monoclonal antibodies in ELISA is to provide high specificity and sensitivity in detecting specific antigens or antibodies.
Diagnostic Technique
- Western Blot (Immunoblot) is a diagnostic technique used to visualize proteins separated by SDS-PAGE (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis).
ELISA Detection
- ELISA relies on monoclonal antibodies to detect specific antigens or antibodies, allowing for precise identification and quantification.
Test your knowledge on the main concepts and types of ELISA, as well as the diagnostic applications of Monoclonal Antibodies (Mabs) in clinical settings. Explore the use of ELISA in identifying substances and its significance in diagnostics.
