ELISA:

1. It stands for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

3. It was first described by Eva Engvall and Peter Perlmann in 1971.
4. It works on the principle of interaction between antigen and antibody.

Steps:

1. Immobilizing the target protein to be recognized on a plate is known as plate coating.
2. Washing to remove excess material and pouring a blocking agent to cover the free spaces on the plate to prevent non-specific binding.
3. Washing and adding the enzyme-linked antibody and adding a substrate for reacting with the enzyme
4. Analysis of the plate.
