The book describes the methods involved in heteroge neous enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) that provide ideal systems for dealing with a wide range of stud ies in many biological areas. Generally, the ELISA is a group of methods where one of the reagents, usually an antibody, is linked to an enzyme and where one reagent is attached to a solid phase. This method is widely using in various scientific and industrial areas including biochemistry, molecular biol ogy, immunology and microbiology, medicine, and biotech...
