Dot-ELISA using the outer membrane complex antigens of Neisseria meningitidis as a target was standardized for rapid detection of meningococcal-specific antibodies in human serum. ... The dot-ELISA is based on the same principles as the standard ELISA and is useful for detection of anti-N.

What is Dot Elisa?
The dot enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Dot-ELISA) is a highly versatile solid-phase immunoassay for antibody or antigen detection. The assay uses minute amounts of reagent dotted onto solid surfaces such as nitrocellulose and other paper membranes which avidly bind proteins.
What are the two types of Elisa?
Four Types of ELISA
- Direct ELISA. In direct ELISA, only an enzyme-labeled primary antibody is used, meaning that secondary antibodies are not needed. ...
- Indirect ELISA. In indirect ELISA, both a primary antibody and a secondary antibody are used. ...
- Sandwich ELISA. ...
- Competitive ELISA.
What is the difference between the Elisa and the EIA test?
Enzyme immunoassays (EIA) are used to visualize and quantify antigens. They use an antibody conjugated to an enzyme to bind the antigen, and the enzyme converts a substrate into an observable end product. ... Direct ELISA is used to quantify an antigen in solution.
What is the difference between indirect Elisa and sandwich Elisa?
Indirect ELISA is used for detecting antibodies in a sample in order to quantify immune responses. ... In the case of sandwich ELISA, the target analyte is an antigen, which is captured on the plate using a capture antibody and then detected by the detection antibody, hence forming an antibody-antigen-antibody sandwich.
What is an Elisa test used for?
ELISA stands for enzyme-linked immunoassay. It is a commonly used laboratory test to detect antibodies in the blood. An antibody is a protein produced by the body's immune system when it detects harmful substances, called antigens.
What is the basic principle of Elisa?
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a method of target antigen (or antibody) capture in samples using a specific antibody (or antigen), and of target molecule detection/quantitation using an enzyme reaction with its substrate.
What are the four types of Elisa?
The four main types of ELISAs are direct, indirect, sandwich, and competitive. Each type of ELISA has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Why is Elisa so sensitive?
Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbant Assay (ELISA) is so sensitive because of the detection method, i.e. using antibody, and visual detection. A positive control is needed because of the relative selectivity of the antibody. It can always bind to other stuff and give artifactually high values.
What are two applications that Elisa is used for?
Application of ELISA
Determination of serum antibody concentrations in a virus test. Used in food industry when detecting potential food allergens. Applied in disease outbreaks- tracking the spread of disease e.g. HIV, bird flu, common, colds, cholera, STD etc.
What are the 4 steps of an Elisa protocol?
ELISA Step-by-step
- Antibody coating. Specific capture antibody is immobilized on high protein-binding plates by overnight incubation. ...
- Protein capture. Samples and standard dilutions are added to the wells and will be captured by the bound antibodies.
- Detection antibody. ...
- Streptavidin-enzyme conjugate. ...
- Addition of substrate. ...
- Analysis.
What does a positive Elisa test indicate?
A positive ELISA test is always followed by a Western blot test. A positive Western blot confirms an HIV infection. A negative Western blot test means the ELISA test was a false positive test. The Western blot test can also be unclear, in which case more testing is done.
Why is Western blot better than Elisa?
Compared to ELISA, Western blotting has higher specificity; the higher specificity, the more the method is independent of the specificity of antibodies. Polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF), or Nylon, is often used as membrane in Western blotting, since it has a high protein-binding capacity and chemical stability.
