What is an ELISA? Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is popularly abbreviated as ELISA and has another name, enzyme immunoassay (EIA), defining the same technology. It’s a plate-based assay technique developed to discover and quantify soluble substances such as proteins, antibodies, peptides and hormones. In an ELISA, the target macromolecule (the antigen) is palsied on a solid…
Among the most extraordinary questions of the overwhelming COVID-19 pandemic is the toughness of resistance and time to likely reinfection. There is restricted direct information on SARS-CoV-2 long-term immune responses and reinfection. Antibodies are essential for the body’s immune response to infection. Antibodies that neutralise SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, are typically recognisable in the initial…
Molecular assays have considerably improved the field of infectious disease diagnostics, especially with the superior responsiveness and specificity linked by presenting clinical laboratories with accurate and rapidly obtained results. Recent advancements in Molecular Diagnostics and the availability of commercial Nucleic Acid Amplification Techniques (NAATs) based assays have transformed the way researchers perform laboratory diagnosis of…
COVID-19 is known as a new viral infection. One of the vital biological characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 and various other viruses is the ubiquity of spike proteins that enable viruses to penetrate host cells and cause infection. The most significant medical concern is a secondary bacterial strain that manifests during or after a viral infection(s), leading…
You probably have heard a lot about both SARS-CoV-2, the virus that caused Covid-19, and tests for COVID-19. Any virus needs a host to replicate and to generate more viral replicas as the virus seizes the host’s cells. The genomic material remains in the body while the virus is still copying and reproducing for the…
WHAT ARE INTERLEUKINS? Interleukin is a sort of cytokine, which plays a critical role in immunological homeostasis and classification; it was discovered initially from leukocytes. Interleukins (IL) are cytokines that were first expressed by leukocytes alone but later produced by several different parts of body cells. Many cells currently generate it, including lymphocytic cells and…
