This document summarizes Radioimmunoassay (RIA) and Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) techniques. RIA was developed in 1959 and uses radioactive molecules to detect antigens or antibodies in biological samples. It is highly sensitive but requires special safety precautions due to radioactivity. ELISA was developed later and uses enzyme-linked antibodies to detect antigens or antibodies through a color change reaction. It has advantages over RIA like no radioactivity, higher sample throughput, and easier automation. Both techniques are widely used in clinical diagnostics, research, and other applications to detect various molecules.
Radioimmunoassay (RIA) is an immunoassay technique that uses radiolabeled antigens or antibodies to detect and quantify antigens or antibodies in a sample. RIA uses the principle of competitive binding - radiolabeled and unlabeled antigens or antibodies compete for binding sites on an antibody or antigen. The amount of radiolabeled binding is inversely proportional to the concentration of unlabeled antigen or antibody in the sample. RIA is a highly sensitive and specific technique that can detect picogram quantities of antigens or antibodies. It has applications in areas like endocrinology, pharmacology, and clinical diagnostics.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that affects the joints and other tissues. A rheumatoid profile blood test can help diagnose rheumatoid arthritis by detecting rheumatoid factor antibodies and other markers of inflammation such as ESR.

The document describes the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. ELISA uses antibodies and antigen-enzyme conjugates to detect the presence and quantify antigens or antibodies in a sample. It is a sensitive, specific immunoassay that is usually performed in microwell plates, where antibodies or antigens bind to the wells and are detected using enzyme-linked antibodies and color-changing substrates. There are different types of ELISA including sandwich, competitive, and indirect formats.
An immunoassay is a laboratory test that uses the binding of antibodies and antigens to detect specific analytes. There are two main types - radioimmunoassay (RIA) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RIA uses antigens labeled with radioactive isotopes to compete with unlabeled antigens for binding to antibodies. The amount of radioactivity bound is measured to determine the concentration of unlabeled antigen. ELISA uses enzyme-conjugated secondary antibodies along with colorimetric substrates to detect primary antibodies or antigens bound to a plate. This provides a sensitive, quantitative or qualitative means for detecting various analytes like hormones, cancer antigens, and drugs in blood or serum.
This document provides an introduction to radioimmunoassay (RIA) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), including their principles, instrumentation, procedures, applications, advantages and disadvantages. RIA uses radiolabeled substrates to measure trace amounts of antigens or antibodies, while ELISA uses enzyme-labeled substrates to avoid radiation hazards. Both methods rely on antigen-antibody binding and can be used to detect substances like hormones, drugs and proteins. However, RIA requires specialized equipment and handling of radioactive materials. ELISA has become more widely used as it provides sensitive, reproducible detection without radiation safety issues.
This document discusses antigens and their role in stimulating immune responses. It defines antigens and immunogens as foreign substances that can induce antibody or T-cell responses. It describes different types of antigens including microbial, blood group, transplantation, and tumor antigens. It also discusses classification of antigens based on origin (exogenous or endogenous) and antigenicity (T cell dependent vs independent). The document further explains concepts such as epitopes, haptens, valency and determinants of antigenicity. It provides examples of heterophile antigens and superantigens and their diagnostic importance. Finally, it briefly introduces the concept of adjuvants and their mechanisms in enhancing immune responses.
The document discusses the ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) technique. ELISA is used to detect the presence and quantity of antigens or antibodies in samples. It works by capturing the target antigen or antibody using specific antibodies attached to a microwell plate. An enzyme-linked antibody is then used to detect the captured target, and a color change reaction indicates a positive result. Common applications include detecting hormones, viruses, bacteria, and antibodies in blood samples. There are two main types: indirect ELISA detects antibodies, while sandwich ELISA detects antigens.
ELISA is an immunological plate-based assay technique that offers several advantages including high sensitivity and specificity due to the use of antibodies to detect antigens at the picogram level. ELISA also allows for high throughput using 96-well plate formats that can be adapted to 384-well plates. Additionally, ELISA protocols are easy to perform requiring little hands-on time and the assays are quantitative, cost-effective, and can test various sample types without the need for radioactive substances or large amounts of organic solvents.

The document summarizes key components of the immune system. It describes the thymus as the primary lymphoid organ where T cells mature. Within the thymus are epithelial cells, thymocytes that become T cells, dendritic cells, and macrophages. The thymus is larger in newborns and smaller in adults. T cells are categorized as cytotoxic, helper, or regulatory. The thymus also produces hormones that boost immune responses. Bone marrow produces blood cells including red blood cells, white blood cells like T and B cells, and platelets. T and B cells are lymphocytes that respond specifically to antigens. B cells mature in bone marrow while T cells mature in the thymus. Natural killer
Antigens are molecules that can bind to components of the immune system like antibodies, T cells, and B cells. They include proteins, peptides, polysaccharides, lipids, and nucleic acids and contain epitopes that antibodies bind to. Immunogens are antigens that can trigger an immune response, though not all antigens are immunogenic. Immunogens are typically proteins, peptides, and large polysaccharides but lipids and nucleic acids can also act as immunogens when bound to proteins or polysaccharides. The main difference between antigens and immunogens is that antigens can simply bind to the immune system while immunogens can induce an immune response.
This document summarizes the different types of immunity. There are two main types: innate immunity, which is the body's first line of defense and includes physical barriers like the skin and mucous membranes, as well as internal responses like inflammation and fever. The second type is adaptive immunity, also known as acquired immunity, which is a more targeted defense that develops from exposure to foreign substances. Adaptive immunity can be either active, gained from direct infection or vaccination, or passive, received from another source like mother's milk or antibody injection. Active immunity is long-lasting while passive immunity only provides short-term protection.
This document provides an overview of immunology and some key figures in its history. It begins by explaining that immunology started as a branch of microbiology focused on the study of disease and the immune system's response to antigens. The document then defines immunology as the study of the immune system, which protects the body from infection. It describes the roles of immunologists as scientists who research the immune system in laboratories and clinics. Several pioneering researchers are highlighted, including Anton van Leeuwenhoek, considered the "Father of Microbiology", for his early microscopic observations. Edward Jenner developed the smallpox vaccine in the late 18th century. Later figures like Louis Pasteur, Paul Ehrlich, and Robert Koch made
