Using the direct Enzyme-Linked-Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) the steps involved in antigen detection include:

  • plate coating: the plate is coated with a known antibody

  • plate blocking: Buffer is used to block free sites in the well.

  • Antibody incubation is carried out at 37°C and

  • Detection: Enzyme conjugated detection Antigen binds to the antigen.

Using the indirect Enzyme-Linked-Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) the steps involved in antibody detection include:

  • Micro-well plates are incubated with antigens, washed up and blocked with BSA.

  • Samples with antibodies are added and washed.

  • Enzyme linked secondary antibody are added and washed.

  • A substrate is added, and enzymes on the antibody elicit a chromogenic or fluorescent signal.
