What basic principles of antibody-mediated immunity are utilized in an ELISA assay? They’re based on the antibodies that are specifically to target that particular antigen and bind them tightly together. 2. How does an ELISA indirectly detect infection by a disease-causing agent? The antibodies are present since the antigen is in the body, which is used to detect the specific antigen. 3. What is the function of the secondary antibody and chromogen in an ELISA? The secondary antibody recognizes and binds to the primary antibody if it is present. The Chromogen links to the secondary antibody if it is present, and it changes the color 4. Why did you perform 3 identical tests for each control and patient sample? To ensure the results are consistent 5. What might cause some positive results to be lighter in color than others?
