Preferred Label : immunoassay;
IUPAC acronym : ELISA; RIA;
IUPAC definition : A ligand-binding assay that uses a specific antigen or antibody, capable of binding
to the analyte, to identify and quantify substances. The antibody can be linked to
a radiosotope (radioimmunoassay, RIA), or to an enzyme which catalyses an easily monitored
reaction (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, ELISA), or to a highly fluorescent compound
by which the location of an antigen can be visualized (immunofluorescene).;
