Why is the ELISA test so sensitive?

It has many reason that may be possible. 1. Stability of Elisa kit. 2. Type of Elisa kit ... Example. Rat IL-1 must use with cell rat .... but can use with the other depend cross reactivity of Elisa kit. 3. Right method will show good standard curve. (r2 almost 1 ) if not it's wrong. 4. The concentration used of treated in cell is not appropiate .


What type of test is a ELISA?

an Enzyme Linked immunosorbent assay. during an infection an individual mounts an antibody response which eventually results in production of plasma IgG molecules that bind to various parts of the infectious agent.

What blood tests are used to test for HIV?

There are several tests that are used to confirm the prescence of HIV. In medical settings, the most common tests being used today are rapid tests such as Oraquick which use a sample from the mouth to detect the prescence of antibodies to the HIV virus. Oraquick produces results in 20 minutes. If Oraquick produces a positive result, a blood sample is usually taken and sent to a laboratory for a confirmatory test. In the laboratory, the ELISA test will be used. If the ELISA is also positive, another test called Western Blot will be used to confirm the results of ELISA.
