What is the function of the secondary antibody in an ELISA?

In an ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), the secondary antibody serves to bind specifically to the primary antibody that is attached to the target antigen. This secondary antibody is typically conjugated to an enzyme or a detectable label, allowing for the amplification of the signal. When a substrate is added, the enzyme reacts to produce a measurable signal, such as color change, which indicates the presence and quantity of the target antigen. Ultimately, the secondary antibody enhances the sensitivity and specificity of the assay.
