- PublicationThe Application of Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (Elisa) in the Laboratory Diagnosis(Kuala Lumpur: Institute for Medical Research, 1980)Torres, Rosario Brigida E.The pheomenal increase in the number and variety of immunodiagnostic tests performed has brought the development and perfection of methods which use labelled antigents or antibodies, resulting in tests with high levels of sensitivity and specificity. One of these is the labelled enzyme whuch can be linked to antibodies or antigens such that the complexes have both immunological and azymic activity. Degradation by the anzymes of a chromogenic of fluorogenic substrate yields an amplification factor, which enables accurate and sensitive detection of the presence of the enzymes.
