Plain-English summary
In the past ten years, a testing method called enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has become very popular for diagnosing diseases in both humans and animals. This method is favored because it is simple to use, very specific, and sensitive, making it safer than older tests that involve radiation. The article discusses various ways this testing technique is being applied in veterinary medicine. Overall, ELISA has proven to be a valuable tool for veterinarians in diagnosing different health issues in pets and livestock.
Abstract
During the last decade enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay has been a technique of major interest to those engaged in immunodiagnostics of human and animal diseases. Owing to its simplicity, specificity and sensitivity it has taken precedence over other conventional assays, including radioimmunoassay on the grounds of freedom from radiation hazards. Many applications of this assay have been developed in veterinary medicine and they are listed in this article.
