Today you'll develop a direct ELISA assay to detect viral antigens.
Tip: While the protocol shows suggested steps, you can experiment by adding reagents in any order to see what happens!
Sandwich ELISA
Validate hCG detection in urine for a family-planning clinic before point-of-care rollout.
Direct ELISA
Screen nasal-swab extracts for Influenza A nucleoprotein during flu season.
Indirect ELISA
Quantify post-vaccination IgG against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in donor serum.
Screen donor plasma for HIV-1/2 antibodies with high-sensitivity chemiluminescent detection.
