Question

With the ELISA test strip, we were testing patient blood for what from a Zombie infection?

a. virus

b. cyanobacteria

c. yeasts

d. antibodies (primary)

e. none of the above.

Answer 1

Virus

ELISA is enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. It is used to detect the presence of specific antibodies in the blood sample of a patient. It is based upon the interaction of antigen and antibody which bind to each other and give a specific colour.

Any type of antibodies can be detected using this technique but because the technique is expensive, only specific antibodies during an infection are tested.

The presence of yeast is detected by microbiological assays which includes isolation of cells from the affected region and then placing them on a suitable nutrient media.

Cyanobacteria is not pathogenic human beings and therefore there is no test to detect is present in us.

Please give a good rating.
