ELISA
Definition
Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay, a plate-based immunoassay for detecting and quantifying soluble substances such as peptides, proteins, antibodies, and hormones. ELISA uses antibody-antigen interactions coupled with enzyme-mediated color change for detection. Formats include direct, indirect, sandwich, and competitive ELISA, with sensitivity in the picogram to nanogram range.
In Practice
ELISA is widely used in lab techniques and related fields. Key applications include:
- Research and experimental design in molecular biology laboratories
- Clinical diagnostics and therapeutic development pipelines
- Automated validation within VigyanLLM's 24-step primer design and analysis framework
