Clinical immunologists use a particular technique to detect certain antigens bound to antibodies in serum. It is called the ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays) technique. The ELISA technique has many different stages that differ depending on the system used. There are three identified systems of ELISA technique, each form the foundation of competitive and inhibition ELISAs; direct, indirect and sandwich ELISA technique. For this experiment we will be using an indirect ELISA technique i...
