ELISA means enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Let us keep it simple and describe a direct ELISA. First; a well plate is coated on the bottom of the well with an antigen epitope of interest. Then an antibody is prepared with an enzyme linked to it. Then the antibody is put into the well with a amount of neutral solution. The well is washed. Then the substrate of the antibody is put into the solution. If the antibody attached to the epitope was not washed away the enzyme will react with its substrate and this reaction will color the solution.
Hola me llamo Elisa. That is how you say hi my name is Elisa in Spanish.
Elisa (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) is a common laboratory technique used to detect the presence of antibodies or antigens in a sample. It is widely used in medical diagnostics, food testing, and research settings to identify and quantify specific molecules.
In the context of an ELISA test, "non-reactive" means that no antibodies or antigens of interest were detected in the sample. This result indicates the absence of a specific immune response to the tested substance.
The Western blot test is often used as a confirmatory test after a positive ELISA result for HIV. It is more specific but can also produce false positive results due to its high sensitivity. Consulting a healthcare provider for interpretation of test results and appropriate follow-up is important in HIV testing.
Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbant Assay (ELISA) is so sensitive because of the detection method, i.e. using antibody, and visual detection. A positive control is needed because of the relative selectivity of the antibody. It can always bind to other stuff and give artifactually high values. Nonspecific, unoccupied binding sites in the microtiter plate (as well as other places) have to be blocked or they will give a signal as though they were the analyte of interest.

Sandwich ELISA uses two antibodies to detect an antigen, while direct ELISA uses only one antibody. Sandwich ELISA is more sensitive and specific, but direct ELISA is simpler and faster.
