Enzyme Immunoassays
From Concept to Product Development
Article
TiO2–SiO2 mesoporous composite photocatalysts with different proportions (in wt%) of TiO2 and SiO2 (TiO2–SiO2 = 20:80, 40:60, 60:40, 80:20 and 100:0) were prepared by loading TiO2 on as-synthesized Si–MCM-41 usin...
Article
We report in this paper on microstructural, optical and photocatalytic properties of single-phase indium orthovanadates, as a function of do** at lattice sites. The UV–visible spectra of these samples exhibi...
Article
Sn-MFI molecular sieves (Tin silicalite-1) with SiO2/SnO2 molar ratio of 50–150 were synthesized and characterized. Elemental analysis, XRD and DRUV–vis confirmed that prepared samples were of MFI zeolite structu...
Article
Low serum vitamin B12 (V B12) and hyperhomocysteinemia have been reported in asymptomatic Asian Indian men. We studied the prevalence of V B12 deficiency and hyperhomocysteinemia in 51 asymptomatic toddlers, from...
Article
Raised maternal plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) concentrations predict small size at birth, which is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus. We studied the association between maternal vitamin B12, folate an...
Article
Mono-vanadium substituted molybdovanadophosphoric acid has been immobilized on amine-functionalized SBA-15 and characterized by different techniques. Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) analysis and SEM techni...
Article
The rac1 GTPase promotes oxidative stress through reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, whereas the DNA repair enzyme and transcriptional regulator redox factor-1 (ref-1) protects against cell death due to...

Chapter
An understanding of the basic principles of the biology of the vertebrate immune system and its regulation is a prerequisite for the successful experimental production of antibodies. Such knowledge helps in av...
Chapter
Preparation of well-defined conjugates during various stages, from hapten immunogen preparation for antibody production to that of tracer or labeling reagents such as enzyme-antigen or enzyme-antibody conjugat...
Chapter
Since the introduction of radioimmunoassays in the late 1950s and the widespread reliance on radioisotopic labels in various fields of clinical and medical science and practice during the 1960s and 1970s, rapi...
Chapter
Immunoassays encompass techniques for the detection and quantification of antigens or antibodies, and are one of the most powerful of all immunochemical techniques. Although the term “immunoassay” generally re...
Chapter
Data analysis is an important aspect of using solid-phase immunoassays. The basic principles of obtaining dose-response curves using immunoassay techniques were described earlier in this book. In quantitative ...
Chapter
Qualitative and quantitative analytical techniques are of tremendous importance in all fields and disciplines of life sciences for the detection, identification, and measurement of concentration of a wide vari...
Chapter
Enzyme immunoassays are based on antigen-antibody reactions involving enzyme-labeled antigen (or antibody) with antibody (or antigen). An understanding of the fundamentals of antigen-antibody reactions is, the...
Chapter
The production and large scale availability of antibody of desired affinity and specificity and/or cross-reactivity are fundamental to the process of develo** sensitive, precise, and specific immunoassay pro...
Chapter
To quantitate the amount of analyte present in an enzyme immunoassay (EIA), the extent of reaction of the enzyme-labeled ligand (or antibody) with antibody (or the ligand) must be determined. Since the reactio...
Chapter
Modern immunoassay systems exist in several different formats with diverse ancillary technologies. An ideal immunoassay for a given need depends upon the kind of information desired and the physical environmen...
Chapter
The control of assay quality and the degree of quality control required begin with the source and the accurate preparation of reagents and control sera used in the assay procedure. The quality of reagents used...
Chapter
Commercial production of immunodiagnostic kits requires that the various components be manufactured consistently over a long period of time. The process involves availability of a consistent source of antibody...
