Answer:

The stickiness in the inner walls allows them to be easily coated with the desired antigens, this translates in the use of a smaller amount of antigen. If the walls weren't sticky there's a possibility the antigen won't stick to them and therefore the result of the ELISA can be a false negative.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
