Summary Introduction
To determine:
The steps involved in indirect ELISA and the four essential events necessary to develop positive reaction.
Introduction:
Indirect ELISA is a type of immunoassay which is used in diagnosis of several diseases. In indirect immunofluorescence, a known antigen is used to assay and unknown antibody.
