Along with the enzyme-labelling of antigens or antibodies, the technique involves following three principles in combination which make it one of the most specific and sensitive than other immunoassays to detect the biological molecule: An immune reaction i.e. antigen-antibody reaction. Enzymatic chemical reaction i.e. enzyme catalyses the formation of colored (chromogenic) product from colorless substrate. เป ่ยนสสาร ง น ไ ม Signal detection and Quantification i.e. detection and measurement of color intensity of the colored products generated by the enzyme and added substrate. ั้ ถ้ ต้ ที่ ลี ตั Types of ELISA Direct ELISA Indirect ELISA Sandwich ELISA Competitive ELISA 1.

It is not recommended for kinetic analysis Beta Galactosidase - Four subunits combined have a molecular weight of greater than 300,000 - Enhanced reaction rate in the presence of alcohols, which lends itself as a suitable enzyme for assays performed on hydrophobic membrane surfaces - BGAL substrates are specifically acted on by the enzyme ß-galactosidase and undergo a measurable color change, or white to blue color change, in the presence of antibody- enzyme binding target proteins or cells. substrate ONPG is a soluble BGAL substrate for ELISA - ortho-Nitrophenyl-β-galactoside (ONPG): galactosidase hydrolyzes the substrate produc ONPG molecule into galactose and ortho-nitrophenol. ↳สเห The latter compound has a yellow color and measurable at 420 nm wavelength by stopping the reaction with 1M Sodium Carbonate. &US MX ลื Peroxidase Chemiluminescent Substrate Chemiluminescent HRP substrates are extremely sensitive, nonradioactive, enhanced luminol-based chemiluminescent substrates for the detection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP).
