Diagnostics
Author(s): Marcia L MossMarcia L Moss
Detection methods to quantify specific protein levels in biological
samples for diagnostic purposes typically rely on the use of enzyme
linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). With an ELISA, total
protein, rather than the bioactive amount may be quantified, as it is
often complexed to naturally occurring aggregates or inhibitors. Thus,
in cases where the protein is an enzyme, an activity assay may be more
informative and correlative with disease status. .. View More»
