PREPARATION
,What does Elisa Stand for? -ANSWER✅✅✅Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay.
What are ELISA assays used for in labs? -ANSWER✅✅✅ELISA assays are used to
determine if a particular antibody is present in a patient's blood sample.
What test can be used to determine whether a patient has an infectious or autoimmune
disease? -ANSWER✅✅✅We can use an ELISA test.
What does a positive result indicate? -ANSWER✅✅✅A positive result indicates an
antibody is present and the person has the disease.
The watery fluid of the blood is called -ANSWER✅✅✅serum
Once isolated, the secondary antibody can be -ANSWER✅✅✅chemically linked to a
system that can produce a detectable signal.
What happens when the appropriate chemical (substrate) is added? -
ANSWER✅✅✅When the appropriate chemical is added, the enzyme converts to a
colored substance that can be measured.
How is the test quantified? -ANSWER✅✅✅The test is quantified by the amount of
COLOR produced.
What does the amount of color reflect? -ANSWER✅✅✅The amount of color reflect the
amount of antigen initially present.
What is systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)? -ANSWER✅✅✅SLE is an autoimmune
disease where antibodies fight the body's own cells.
From Figure 1 (click on it), what are the four steps of an ELISA protocol? -
ANSWER✅✅✅Step 1: Bind sample to support.
Step 2: Add primary antibody; wash.
Step 3: Add secondary antibody-enzyme conjugate; wash.
Step 4: Add substrate.
In step 1, you centrifuge samples. What does a centrifuge do? -ANSWER✅✅✅A
centrifuge is used to spin tubes to separate solutions into different phases.
What are you preparing in step 2? Why are there three different solutions? -
ANSWER✅✅✅Different dilutions and solutions are needed in order to determine the
, level of the antibody in the sample. Highly diluted samples will not appear positive if
there is a low titer (concentration) of antibody in the specific sera.
In steps 3 and 4, you prepare an ELISA plate. What has the ELISA plate been
pretreated with? Why? -ANSWER✅✅✅The ELISA plate has been pretreated with SLE
antigen, so that the antigen and antibody can recognize each other and form color from
the enzyme binding to the antibody, and also to get antigens to bind to the plate.
What is the positive control? (Step 4) -ANSWER✅✅✅The anti-DNA primary antibody.
What is a primary antibody? Please define. -ANSWER✅✅✅Primary antibody is the 1st
antibody used in an immunoassay to detect the foreign particle.
What is the negative control? (Step 4) -ANSWER✅✅✅The buffer.
Why is it necessary to have a positive and a negative control? (Step 4) -
ANSWER✅✅✅Two different controls are used to rule out problems such as the
reagents in ELISA changing over time, and to deal with the fact that ELISA is not always
conducted under appropriate conditions.
Why incubate the plate in step 5? -ANSWER✅✅✅When you incubate serum samples,
it helps ensure that the antibody present in the sample will interact correctly with the
antigen. Time is important, because the reaction must proceed long enough for
adequate binding to occur.
Next, in step 6, the plate is washed. Why wash the plate? -ANSWER✅✅✅Washing
helps remove any antibody that did not react with the SLE antigen in the well.
In step 7, a secondary antibody is added. What is a secondary antibody? Please define.
-ANSWER✅✅✅The secondary antibody is the 2nd antibody used (Made in a different
species like a rabbit or a horse) in order to recognize the primary (1st) antibody as
"foreign".
What is the attached enzyme in this assay? (Step 7) -ANSWER✅✅✅HRP
(Horseradish Peroxidase).
What is the specific substrate for HRP? What color does it produce? (Step 7) -
ANSWER✅✅✅The substrate is ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic
acid), which produces a YELLOW color.
How can the yellow color be quantitatively measured? At what wavelength? (Step 10, in
"why") -ANSWER✅✅✅The color yellow is measured by eye, or in a spectometer at
414 nanometers.
