• Microparticle Enzyme Immunoassay (MEIA) is an immunoassay method that utilizes the isolation of antibody/antigen complexes on a solid phase surface of small beads called microparticles. • MEIA has been widely adapted to automate the measurement of large molecules such as markers associated with cardiac, fertility, cancer, metabolic, hepatitis, and thyroid testing. • Chemiluminecent microparticle immunoassay CMIA used for quantitative determination of human thyroid stimulating hormone in serum and plasma. • In ARCHITECT instrument, TSH assay is a two-step immunoassay ...
ENZYME-LINKED IMMUNO SORBENT ASSAY (ELISA is a test that uses antibodies and color change to identify a substance. ELISA is a popular format of a "wet-lab" type analytic biochemistry assay that uses a solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA) to detect the presence of a substance, usually an antigen, in a liquid sample or wet sample. The ELISA has been used as a diagnostic tool in medicine and plant pathology, as well as a quality-control check in various industries ...
Topics: Laboratory methods of assessment of humoral immunity. Radioimmunoassay, enzyme immunoassay Laboratory measurement of specific IgE antibodies. Laboratory measurement of autoantibodies. Laboratory methods of assessment of cellular immunity. Flow cytometry - principles, practical use. Laboratory methods of assessment of humoral immunity all methods use an antigen (Ag) – antibody(Ab) reaction as their primary means of detection we assess either Ag or Ab Laboratory methods of assessment of humoral immunity • Precipitation – immunodiffussion immunoelectrophoresis turbidimetry nephelometry • Agglutination • Radioimmunoassay ...
Antigens [Ag]: A substance that when introduced into the body stimulates the production of an antibody. Antigens include toxins, bacteria, foreign blood cells, and the cells of transplanted organs. Antibody [Ab]: Antibodies are large Y-shaped glycoproteins. They are produced by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects like bacteria and viruses or antigens in general. -The antibody recognizes a unique foreign target, called an antigen[ not normally found in the body] . So, each antibody recognize specific antigen. Immunoassay ...
INTRODUCTION • Hormonal assay is the test carried out on sample of blood to detect and measure the level of a hormone. • It is performed to confirm hormonal abnormalities and also during treatment and after treatment of hormonal abnormalities. Measurement of Hormone Concentration in the Blood • Hormones are present in the blood in extremely minute quantities. • Some concentrations are as low as one billionth of a milligram (1 picogram) per milliliter. Therefore, it was very difficult to ...

Categorizing CDI – Testing and Detection Beginning January 2, 2020, Stony Brook will be utilizing a two-step testing algorithm including a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and EIA (enzyme immunoassay) for all Inpatient and ED locations. • The PCR test is highly sensitive and specific test for toxigenic genes. It cannot distinguish between active infection and asymptomatic carriage • The EIA test has a low sensitivity, but high specificity for the toxin production. It helps to determine an active infection or ...
