The sandwich type uses antibodies specific for different epitopes, while the indirect variety is the preferred method in detecting serum antibodies against HIV.
The sandwich type uses antibodies specific for different epitopes, while the indirect variety is the preferred method in detecting serum antibodies against HIV. Horseradish peroxidase and alkaline phosphatase are among the substances that can be used in this process, in which a colored reaction product is created by reacting a colorless substrate and an antibody. For ten points, name this technique that is similar to, but safer and cheaper than, radioimmunoassay and which uses an enzyme instead of a radioactive label.
