<span>The most crucial principle of ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is a highly specific antibody-antigen interaction.</span>
ELISA is a biochemical technique used to detect the presence of an antibody or an antigen in the biological sample. Simply described, in an ELISA, an antigen is immobilized on a solid surface and then a specific antibody is applied over the surface so that it can bind to the antigen. The antibody is usually linked to an enzyme, and in the final step, a substrate for that enzyme is added. The enzyme can convert it to some detectable signal, most commonly a color change. <span>Medical usage of ELISA is in the diagnosis of HIV infection, pregnancy tests, measurement of cytokines…</span>

Darwin realized that the often exquisite fit of species to their environment is primarily the result of
bagirrra123 [75]
Natural Selection.
An easy and important way to remember this is by thinking of a species - let’s say a bright white moth. For ages, these moths have survived beautifully, matching perfectly with the white tree bark they live on, until one day, a smoky building begins pumping its soot into the air. This air begins to change the color of the tree bark to black and the once hidden white moths are now plainly visible to birds who eat them easily. Fortunately, every now and then a moth is born who is darker than the rest - black as soot even. And so, the birds keep eating the white moths but missing the soot-colored ones. As time goes by, the soot-colored moths produce more and more similarly colored moths, who are well hidden from the birds AND after enough time, the only moths that remain are soot-colored. This is why so many species “fit” exquisitely into their environment. They have ALL adapted in some way similar to the soot-colored moth.
