Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and developments in techniques using latex beads

Abstract

Not surprisingly, most of the publications on enzyme immunoassays or latex agglutination tests in 1990 have been applications for specific antigens or antibodies. Nevertheless, a large number of studies of considerable interest to all users have been reported. In this short review, we have chosen to highlight investigations into: factors affecting assay performance; enzyme immunoassay design and statistical analysis; novel approaches in enzyme immunoassays and related techniques; immunohistochemistry; and latex agglutination tests.
