Elispot Assays: State-of-the-Art Tools for Functional Analysis of Cellular Immunology

Merck
10 Jan 2013

Under optimal conditions, the enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot (Elispot) assay enables visualization of multiple secretory products from a single responding cell. Thus, the Elispot provides both qualitative and quantitative information. In this application note Millipore review and highlight the unique performance characteristics, workflow attributes and cost benefits which identify the Elispot assay as an excellent platform for elucidating the complexities underlying the immune responses.

Immobilon Transfer Membranes, Sandwiches, and Blotting Filter Paper

Merck

EMD Millipore offers three different Immobilon PVDF membranes, each optimized for different protein blotting applications. We also now offer blotting sandwiches that feature pre-cut sheets of membrane and blotting filter paper.Immobilon membranes provide a number of advantages compared to nitrocellulose. They won’t crack or curl, and they can be cut without fracturing. They also have low background, broad solvent compatibility, and superior staining capabilities. In addition, they can be reprobed multiple times

ELISAEnzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), also known as enzyme immunoassays (EIA), are used for the detection and quantification of proteins, peptides and antibodies in a sample. ELISA often comes in kit format, with pre-selected antibody pairs to detect specific proteins or biomarkers of diseases such as diabetes and obesity, or cardiovascular and neurological disorders. Detection is made possible with chemiluminescent, fluorescent or colorimetric substrates and detection instruments such as microplate / ELISA readers. Other kits available include: Enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assays for the quantification of protein-producing cells and chemiluminescent immunoassays (CLIA) kits. Find the best ELISA kits and products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.ImmunoassayImmunoassays are laboratory tests that utilize antibody-antigen interactions to detect specific substances. They are widely used in diagnostics for detecting diseases, drug testing, and environmental monitoring. These assays offer rapid, sensitive, and precise detection of biomarkers, making them invaluable in clinical and research labs.
