NCIt definition : A highly sensitive immunoassay capable of detecting secreted materials from individual
cells upon activation. If the material of interest is secreted in response to a particular
stimulus, then the material will bind to a specific immobilized antibody. Binding
is then verified and visualized by applying other antibodies that have been tagged
in some way.;
