ELISA also called enzyme linked immunosorbent assay is a widely used plate based assay technique that is used to detect peptides, hormones and proteins. It is an antigen antibody based reaction.One of the signal modification strategy that is used in ELISA technique is antigen antibody reaction. In this method specific antibody binds to target antigen. ELISA is normally performed in polystyrene well plates.On the basis by which it is performed ELISA is of two types direct and indirect ELISA.
In indirect ELISA technique antigen coated to a well is detected in two stages. In the first stage antibody specific to target antigen is provided which is then followed by the addition of enzyme labelled secondary antibody which will get bound to first added antibody.
Another commonly employed method is sandwich model.
Signal amplification is an essential step in signal transduction. Which of the following steps of signal transduction amplify the signal (select all that apply)? Group of answer choices a) ligand binding to receptor b) release of GTP bound form of G protein from receptor c) binding of GTP bound form of G protein to target enzyme d) generation of second messenger by activated target enzyme e) activation of gene expression
Please help with all questions with regards to ELISA 1. Explain how one would go about preparing mouse anti-Tomato Spotted Wilt antiserum (5). 2. Explain how one would go about preparing a goat anti-mouse-Fc = alkaline phosphatase conjugate (9). 3. Please explain how to prepare a 1:20 dilution, showing an example (3) 4. Why is it necessary to wash the wells between each step (2) 5. Why was a goat anti-rabbit Fc specific conjugate used in the ELISA, rather than...

pls help, ty ELISA Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbant Assay ELISA is a rapid test used for detecting or quantifying antibody (Ab) binding against viruses, bacteria and other materials or antigens (Ag). Can detect antibody antigen interaction. 96-well plates are made of polystyrene and are coated with either antigen or antibody. The function of the plate has to hold the immobilized either antigen or antibody. Legend for diagram below: Ag = antigen E = enzyme Substrate interacts with enzyme to allow colorimetric detection...
