| ELISA |
(enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) A sensitive technique for accurately determining specific molecules in a mixed sample. The amount of protein or other antigen in a given sample is determined by means of an enzyme-catalysed colour change, avoiding both the hazards and expense of radioactive techniques.

| ELISA |
A widely used immunochemical method for detecting antigens or antibodies. ELISA methods are carried out in microtitre plates and use colorimetric detection.

| ELISA |
An assay based on the use of an enzyme to catalyze a reaction that generates a product detectable by colorimetric methods. The enzyme is conjugated to an antibody that is specific for the antigen to be detected.

| ELISA |
A type of enzyme immunoassay (EIA) to determine the presence of antibodies to HIV in the blood or oral fluids. Repeatedly reactive (ie, two or more) ELISA test results should be validated with an independent supplemental test of high specificity. In the United States the validation test used most often is the Western Blot test.
