• An ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) allows for rapid screening and quantification of the presence of an antigen in a sample.
• Proteins in a sample are adsorbed to an inert surface, usually a 96- well polystyrene plate. The surface is washed with a solution of an inexpensive nonspecific protein (often casein from nonfat dry milk powder) to block proteins introduced in subsequent steps from also adsorbing to these surfaces.
• The surface is then treated with a solution containing the primary antibody—an antibody against the protein of interest.
• Unbound antibody is washed away and the surface is treated with a solution containing antibodies against the primary antibody.
• These secondary antibodies have been linked to an enzyme that catalyzes a reaction that forms a colored product.
• After unbound secondary antibody is washed away, the substrate of the antibody-linked enzyme is added.
• Product formation (monitored as color intensity) is proportional to the concentration of the protein of interest in the sample.

• An ELISA to test for the presence of herpes simplex virus (HSV) antibodies in blood samples.
• Wells were coated with an HSV antigen, to which antibodies against HSV will bind.
• The second antibody is antihuman IgG linked to horseradish peroxidase.
• Blood samples with greater amounts of HSV antibody turn brighter yellow.

• In an immunoblot assay proteins that have been separated by gel electrophoresis are transferred electrophoretically to a nitrocellulose membrane.
• The membrane is blocked (as described above for ELISA), then treated successively with primary antibody, secondary antibody linked to enzyme, and substrate.
• A colored precipitate forms only along the band containing the protein of interest. The immunoblot allows the detection of a minor component in a sample and provides an approximation of its molecular weight.
