The binding of the antigen and antibody can be affected by several factors, including the conjugated label chosen for detection and the method used to conjugate the label, as well as the assay format itself. The selectivity of the ELISA can be affected by the assay format. In an ELISA with a two-site sandwich format, independent epitopes are bound by different antibodies.26 The specificity comes from multiple site recognition. Polyclonal antibodies can react with many epitopes on a complex antigen surface.24...

To ensure the reliability of analytical techniques, they need to be validated. Validation provides information on the overall performance of the assay as well as on individual parameters and factors that can be used to estimate the degree of uncertainty associated with an assay (Ellison et al., 2000). An adequate validation procedure assesses, and therefore ensures, that the immunoassay performs within an acceptable range of established criteria. Parameters used to evaluate the performance of the assays may be affected by (1) factors inherent to the analytical technique, such as antibody specificity and antibody cross-reactivity, and (2) external factors such as environmental conditions (temperature) and type of sample (matrix, processed food vs. raw ingredients). A...

The process of activation of neutrophils is essentially similar. They are activated, via specific receptors, by interaction with bacteria, binding of chemotactic factors, or antibody-antigen complexes. The resultant rise in intracellular Ca affects many processes in neutrophils, such as assembly of micrombules and the actin-myosin system. These processes are respectively involved in secretion of contents of granules and in motility, which enables neutrophils to seek out the invaders. The activated neutrophils are now ready to destroy the invaders by mechanisms that include production of active derivatives of oxygen.
