The ELISA, or Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay, is a rapid test where an antibody or antigen is linked to an enzyme as a means of detecting a match between the antibody and antigen. This versatile test is widely used in the medical laboratories. It allows to test the blood with an antigen (e.g. virus or bacteria) to see if the immune system recognizes it as something it has seen before, or test your blood with an antibody to see if a particular substance like a hormone (an antigen) is present in your system.
