Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (EIA) | Human Genetics

The below mentioned article provides notes on Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (EIA). Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) was first described by Engvall and Perlmann (1971, 1972), and by von Weemen and Schuurs (1971, 1972). The technique was derived from the work of Nakane and Pierce (1967) which showed that antibodies could be labelled with enzymes for use in histochemical staining of tissues [...]

Monoclonal Antibody (McAB): Objective, Procedure and Properties

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Background and Objective of Monoclonal Antibody 2. Procedure of Monoclonal Antibody 3. Use in Taxonomy 4. Properties. Antibodies are tools widely applicable to stu­dies of structure, nomenclature and function of the molecule they specifically recognize—the antigen. Classically, an antigen is defined as an organism, a molecule or part of a molecule that [...]
