Enzyme-linked immunospot assay (ELISPOT): Quantification of Th-1 cellular immune responses against microbial antigens.
Adaptive immunity is an important component to clearance of intracellular pathogens. The ability to detect and quantify these responses in humans is an important diagnostic tool. The enzyme-linked immunospot assay (ELISPOT) is gaining popularity for its ability to identify cellular immune responses against microbial antigens, including immunosuppressed populations such as those with HIV infecti...
متن کاملImmune monitoring technology primer: the enzyme-linked immunospot (Elispot) and Fluorospot assay
Description of the technology Elispot is a workhorse for functional analysis of single immune cells. Originally established for the enumeration of specific antibody-secreting B cells in 1983 [1], the technology has been expanded to the analysis of T cells, NK cells and monocytes. The assay is typically carried out in 96 well plates with a nitrocellulose or PVDF membrane, which is coated with an...
متن کاملCost-efficient quantification of enzyme-linked immunospot.
Enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) analysis is a sensitive technique for the detection and quantification of antigen-specific T cells (5,7) and also for the detection of various cytokines released by immune cells (2). It is used extensively to monitor peptide-specific T cell responses in vaccination protocols (3), melanoma patients (6), and adoptive cellular immunotherapy (9) because it can det...
متن کاملAntigens by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
A new type of immunoassay (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, ELISA) has been used for the detection of antibodies against Salmonella 0 antigens. The results show that ELISA is specific and highly sensitive. When compared with the Widal reaction, passive hemagglutination, and quantitative precipitation, ELISA was shown to be more sensitive. In addition, immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M ant...
متن کاملHigh-throughput identification of new protective antigens from a Yersinia pestis live vaccine by enzyme-linked immunospot assay.
Yersinia pestis, the plague pathogen, is a facultative intracellular bacterium. Cellular immunity plays important roles in defense against infections. The identification of T-cell targets is critical for the development of effective vaccines against intracellular bacteria; however, the function of cellular immunity in protection from plague was not clearly understood. In this study, 261 genes f...
