Elisa Flashcards

1
Q

is a widely used biochemical assay to detect in a
sample the presence of and quantity of proteins, such as
hormones and antibodies and bacteria or viruses.

Q

uses the coupling of antigens and antibodies and relies on the
specificity and affinity of antibodies for antigens. Specificity is
the ability to discriminate among diverse proteins. Affinity is the
ability to tightly bind to molecules.

he other unoccupied sites in
each well are then bound by a concentrated
solution of non-interacting protein, like casein
or bovine serum albumin, to block or prevent
other proteins in the test sample from adhering.

Q

An enzyme-linked
secondary antibody is
added next to bind to the test sample
antibodies. The enzyme on the secondary
antibodies are proteins, such as horse radish
peroxidase or alkaline phosphatase.

A

Adding Enzyme-linked Secondary Antibody

19
Q

Rinse to remove any secondary
antibodies that did not bind to the primary
antibody.

A

Washing

20
Q

A substrate is then
applied which is converted by the enzyme to
give a color or fluorescence or electrochemical
signal. In the presence of horse radish
peroxidase, TMB turns blue.

A

Adding substrate

21
Q

By
using
a
spectrophotometer,
spectrofluorometer,
or electrochemical device, the results can be
read and recorded. The amount of color
produced is proportional to the amount of
primary antibody bound to the antigen proteins
on the bottom of the wells.

A

Reading results

22
Q

plays the role of
a chromogenic substrate, and is also one of the most
sensitive substrates for HRP. When a TMB solution is added to
HRP, HRP will reduce hydrogen peroxide and oxidize TMB,
turning it from colorless to blue-green.

A

TMB (3,3’,5,5’-Tetramethylbenzidine)

23
Q

are commonly
used to read ELISA results.

A

Spectrophotometers (microplate reader)

24
Q

has the advantage of signal
amplification

A

Indirect ELISA

25
Q

detect antigens in the sample
• This is the most commonly used format.
• This format requires two antibodies specific for different epitopes
of the antigen. These two antibodies are normally referred to as
matched antibody pairs.
• Highly specific which minimizes false positives

A

SANDWICH ELISA

26
Q

it is common for ELISAs to
detect antigens at the picogram level in a very specific
manner due to the use of antibodies.

A

ELISA :High sensitivity and specificity

27
Q

commercial ELISA kits are normally
available in a 96-well plate format. But the assay can be easily
adapted to 384-well plates.

A

ELISA: High throughput

28
Q

hands-on time.

A

ELISA: Easy to perform

29
Q

it can determine the concentration of antigen
in a sample. • Possibility to test various sample types: serum,
plasma,

A

ELISA: Quantitative

30
Q

detection is based on enzyme/substrate
reactions and therefore readout must be obtained in a short
time span.

A

ELISA: temporary readouts

31
Q

information is limited to the
amount or presence of the antigen in the sample.

A

ELISA: Limited antigen information

32
Q

are techniques for transferring
DNA, RNA and proteins onto a carrier so
they can be separated, and often
follows the use of a gel electrophoresis.

and
separation of proteins

A

SDS-PAGE

39

(2)most sensitive test

42
Q

In
order
to
make

antibody
detection,
they
are transferred
onto
a
membrane
made of nitrocellulose
or
polyvinylidene
difluoride (PVDF)
