Abstract
Sensitive ELISA: A new enzyme-labeled immunosorbant assay (ELISA) protocol has been developed that makes use of two enzymatic reactions to detect antibody-antigen interactions: 1) the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin by ecarin and 2) the hydrolysis of a nonfluorescent substrate 1 to a fluorescent product 2 by thrombin. The system was used to detect bovine serum albumin, telomerase, and DNA with high sensitivity. (Figure Presented).
