- Extra Details:
- Enzyme ImmunoAssay (EIA) is a technique to detect and quantify antigens (proteins; hormones…) or antibodies in samples. It relies on the ability of an antibody to bind a specific antigen. Either the antibody or the antigen is labelled with an enzyme whose substrate is a chromogen or a fluorogen converted in a measurable product (color or fluorescence).|Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) is a type of EIA using a solid phase (ex: microtiter plate) coated with an antigen immobilizing the molecule to detect. Over the time; scientists have extended the term ELISA to EIAs using an antibody coating the solid phase. That explains why our EIA kits using coated antibodies are also called ELISA kits.|The IFN-alpha is one of the member of the type I interferons (IFN)s family and it is mainly involved in innate immunity. IFN-alpha 1 is secreted by immune (lymphocytes; NK cells; B-cells and T-cells; macrophages) and non-immune cells (fibroblasts; endothelial cells; osteoblasts and others) in answer to a viral infection.|The main function of the IFN-alpha 1 is to alert the organism in case of viral infection by detection of abnormal double stranded DNA; but also to inhibit virus multiplication by action on the translation in infected cells.|An abnormal production of IFN-alpha 1 induces immune dysfunction such as autoimmune diseases (systemic lupus erythematosus; rheumatoid arthritis...) or mediates tissue inflammation.
