5.
In an antibody detection ELISA, lab-purified antigen (coronavirus S protein, for example) is added to the wells first. Model this step using the solid black circles to represent the coronavirus S protein antigens.
6.
After antigen is added, the wells are washed.
7.
Next, the patient sample is added. Patient samples contain a variety of
will also contain antibodies to the coronavirus S protein.
8.
An enzyme-linked secondary antibody is added next. Finally, the substrate is added. If the sample turns blue (a positive result) the patient sample contains antibodies to coronavirus. Does this necessarily indicate an
