Histamine ELISA [CE]

In the first part of the procedure,Histamineis quantitatively acylated to N-acyl histamine.The subsequent competitive ELISA uses the microtiter plate format. The antigen is bound to the solid phase of the microtiter plate. The acylated standards, controls and samples compete with the solid phase bound analytes for a fixed number of antibody binding sites.After the system is in equilibrium, free antigen and free antigen-antibody complexes are removed by washing. The antibody bound to the solid ph
