Abstract: | A sensitive and specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for allergen-specific IgG antibodies is described. Various solid-phase supports (microtiter plates), coating procedures, binding kinetics, and presentation of allergen in the assay were investigated. Using optimal conditions the indirect ELISA, in which the allergen is coated onto the well, was capable of detecting 2.4 ng/ml specific IgG antibodies to bee venom phospholipase A2(PLA2). The sandwich ELISA, in which the allergen was immobilized via specific antibody precoated onto the well, detected 0.24 ng/ml IgG antibodies to PLA2. |
