HISTORY
• Prior to the development of the EIA/ELISA, the only option for conducting an immunoassay was radioimmunoassay, a technique using radioactively-labeled antigens or antibodies.
• Radioimmunoassay was first described in a paper by Rosalyn Sussman Yalow and Solomon Berson published in 1960.

Introduction to ELISA• ELISA, or Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent
Assay, is an immunoassay technique involving the reaction of antigen and antibody in vitro. ELISA is a sensitive and specific assay for the detection and quantitation of antigens or antibodies. ELISA tests are usually performed in microwell plates.
• The ELISA test, or the enzyme immunoassay (EIA), was the first screening test commonly employed for HIV. It has a high sensitivity.

Components Of ELISA
• Antibody: IgG fraction of serum purified by affinity chromatography
• Enzyme: Horse Radish Peroxidase (HRP) MW 44, 000, glycoprotein with 4 lysine residues
• Substrate: TMB (3,3',5,5', tetramethylbenzidine) The enzyme acts as a catalyst to oxidize substrate in the presence of Hydrogen peroxide to produce a blue color. Reaction stopped with dilute acid to cause complex to turn yellow.

Principle of ELISA
• Antibody is immobilized on micro-plate wells
• Competition between in sample and labeled enzyme for antibody binding sites
• The unbound material is washed out • Chromogenic substrate added to develop
color • Resulting color is read in a
spectrophotometer

Types of ELISA
• Direct ELISA• Indirect ELISA• Sandwich ELISA
![Page 9: Nada Mohamed Ahmed, MD, MT (ASCP)i. HISTORY Prior to the development of the EIA/ELISA, the only option for conducting an immunoassay was radioimmunoassay,](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033103/5697bfaf1a28abf838c9d414/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Direct ELISA
The direct ELISA uses the method of directly labeling the antibody itself.
Microwell plates are coated with a sample containing the target antigen, and the binding of labeled antibody is quantitated by a colorimetric, t, or fluorescent end-point.
![Page 10: Nada Mohamed Ahmed, MD, MT (ASCP)i. HISTORY Prior to the development of the EIA/ELISA, the only option for conducting an immunoassay was radioimmunoassay,](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033103/5697bfaf1a28abf838c9d414/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Direct ELISA
Advantages of Direct Detection• Quick methodology since only one antibody is used. • Cross-reactivity of secondary antibody is
eliminated.
Disadvantages of Direct Detection• Immunoreactivity of the primary antibody may be
reduced as a result of labeling. • Labeling of every primary antibody is time-
consuming and expensive. • No flexibility in choice of primary antibody label
from one experiment to another.

Indirect ELISA
• The indirect ELISA utilizes an unlabeled primary antibody in conjunction with a labeled secondary antibody. Since the labeled secondary antibody is directed against all antibodies of a given species it can be used with a wide variety of primary antibodies.
![Page 12: Nada Mohamed Ahmed, MD, MT (ASCP)i. HISTORY Prior to the development of the EIA/ELISA, the only option for conducting an immunoassay was radioimmunoassay,](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033103/5697bfaf1a28abf838c9d414/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Indirect ELISA
Advantages of indirect detection• Wide variety of labeled secondary
antibodies are available commercially. • Immunoreactivity of the primary antibody is
not affected by labeling. • Sensitivity is increased because each
primary antibody contains several epitopes that can be bound by the labeled secondary antibody, allowing for signal amplification.
![Page 13: Nada Mohamed Ahmed, MD, MT (ASCP)i. HISTORY Prior to the development of the EIA/ELISA, the only option for conducting an immunoassay was radioimmunoassay,](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033103/5697bfaf1a28abf838c9d414/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Disadvantages of indirect detection • Cross-reactivity may occur with the secondary
antibody, resulting in nonspecific signal. • An extra incubation step is required in the
procedure.

Sandwich ELISA
1. Plate is coated with a capture antibody2. Sample is added, and any antigen
present binds to capture antibody3. Detecting antibody is added, and binds
to antigen4. Enzyme-linked secondary antibody is
added, and binds to detecting antibody5. Substrate is added, and is converted by
enzyme to detectable form.

• Wash buffer not adequately drained after every wash step.
• Inadequate incubation times.• Detection reagents too dilute.
Perform checkerboard titrations.• Enzyme conjugate defective or
inhibited by contaminant.• Substrate defective or
contaminated.• Microwell plates poorly coated.
