ELISA technique is based on the principles of antigen and antibody interaction. Can this technique be used in the molecular diagnosis of a genetic disorder, such as phenylketonuria?

Yes. One can use antibody against the enzyme (that is responsible for the metabolism of phenylalanine) to develop ELISA based diagnostic technique. The patient where the enzyme protein is absent would give negative result in ELISA when compared to normal individual.

Yes. One can use antibody against the enzyme (that is responsible for the metabolism of phenylalanine) to develop ELISA-based diagnostic technique. The patient in which the enzyme protein is absent would give negative result in ELISA when compared to normal individual.

Define the terms Antigen and Antibody. Name any two diagnostic kits based upon them.

An antigen is a foreign substance that elicits the formation of an antibody. Antibody is a protein that is synthesised in response to an antigen. Antigen and antibody show high degree of specificity in binding each...
