The ELISA is a common laboratory
technique which is used to measure the
concentration of an analyte (usually
antibodies or antigens) in solution.
Detection by secondary antibodies
conjugated to enzymes (alkaline
phosphatase, horse radish peroxidase, β-
galactosidase).
It is "wet-lab" type analytic
biochemistry assay.
A 96 - well microtiter plate
being used for ELISA.

• “Wet lab" analytic
biochemistry assay, ELISA
involves detection of an
"analyte“ in a liquid
sample by a method that
continues to use liquid
reagents during the
"analysis“.
• Lock and Key Concept:
Antigen (key) & Antibody
(lock) key fits into the
lock
• The basic principle of an
ELISA is to use an enzyme
to detect the Ag-Ab
binding. The enzyme
converts a colorless 4

These type of assays
are used to determine
the concentration of

the sample provided
by the change in
colour.

Chemiluminescen

Chemiluminescent ELISA
is the technique which
work on the emission of
light occur due to
reaction of antigen and
antibodies.
It is used for the
quantitation of an
antigen in a biological

Competitive Fluorescence
ELISA
Competitive fluorescence
ELISA based on the principle
of change in the direction of
emitted fluorescent light
from the fluorescent labelled
tracer due to the reaction of
Ag – Ab.
It can define both antigen
and antibodies.

ELISA
It uses a primary labeled anti-body that react
directly with the antigen.
It can be performed with the antigen that is directly
immobilized on assay plate.
The antigen is bound by passive adsorption to the
solid phase, washed to remove any unbound molecules
and then directly incubated with conjugated antibody.
Substrate is added to produce signal that is allowed
to develop. After certain time, the substrate reaction
is stopped and the resulting signal quantified.
On the basis of procedure
Direct ELISA
Add a footer 11
It utilizes a primary un-labeled antibody in
conjunction with a labeled secondary antibody.
In this system, initial antigen binding and washing
steps are the same as the direct method.
In this case, unconjugated antibody to bind the
immobilized antigen upon incubation at optimal
temperature (usually 37⁰C).
Following a washing, the remaining antigen-bound
antibodies are targeted by a conjugated secondary
antibody that will generate the readout signal as
described for direct ELISA.
This system has been widely applied in diagnostics
because it allows large number of samples to be
screened with a single conjugated secondary antibody.
On the basis of procedure
Indirect ELISA

Antigens in the sample bind with the
capture antibody & become immobilized.
The antibody of the enzyme conjugate
bind with the immobilized antigen to
form a sandwich of Ab-Ag-Ab.
Enzyme HRPO is added and binds the
biotin labeled detection antibody.

• Antibody coated microwell.
• Serum antigen & labeled antigen
added together .... Competition Ab-
Ag enzyme complex bound is inversely
related to the conc. Of antigen
present in sample.
• Increased serum antigen results in
reduced binding of Ag enzyme
conjugate with the antibody
producing less enzyme activity &
(yellow) colour formation.
• It is used to determine small
molecules like T₃ , T₄ &
Progesterone.

Requirement for
ELISA
• Microwell Plate: Flat bottom made up of
polystyrene plate, containing 8 x 12 wells
holding 350 μL volume in each.
• Multi – pipette: An 8-channel 100 μL pipette is
a good help for even small-scale work.
• Microplate washer: These are very efficient with
unusually low carry-over contamination.
• Recorder: Measure the absorbance at 450nm with
the help of ELISA reader. Ascent software for
the calculation of results can be used.
