ELISA Disease Detection Test

No votes have been submitted yet.

In this laboratory you will use the ELISA (Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) for detecting the presence of an antigen, such as a disease-related agent, from a sample of body fluid. You will be given a solution that represents your body fluid. You will exchange body fluid with three other individuals. The ELISA test will be used to detect a simulated disease agent in the mixed body fluids. Finally, you will analyze the class data set to determine identity of the original carrier(s).

This assay is similar to that used for the AIDS test, in which an ELISA is used to detect individuals infected with the virus that causes AIDS (HIV).
