Equipment for large scale enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for a 3 year nationwide survey of the incidence of four viruses in pastures of Trifolium subterraneum (subterranean clover) in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania. Instruments were designed to (a) automate quantitatively the addition of buffer to plant samples passing through a sap extractor, (b) standardize the washing of plates in the various stages of the ELISA protocol, and (c) replace hand pipetting with a pneumatic foot-operated pipette.

Abstract In this enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of antibodies against extractable nuclear antigens (ENA) in sera of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), nylon is used as solid phase for antigen binding instead of the commonly used polystyrene surface. Optimal conditions for activation of the nylon beads, antigen coating, and other relevant factors have been investigated. We compared the incidence of anti-ENA antibodies in SLE, using chromogenic and fluorogenic enzyme substrates. Of SLE patients, 54% were positive for anti-ENA antibodies when chromogenic substrate was used as compared with 68% for fluorogenic substrate. Antibody activity against Sm and RNP antigens was distinguished on the basis of ribonuclease sensitivity of the RNP antigen. The method described offers advantages such as decreased background activity, increased surface area, facility for prolonged storage of antigen-coated solid phase, and miniaturization of the assay.

Abstract We describe a solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for alpha 1-acid glycoprotein in human plasma. Plasma samples are incubated with alkaline phosphatase-linked, purified alpha 1-acid glycoprotein in alpha 1-acid glycoprotein-specific antibody-coated polystyrene tubes. The alkaline phosphatase that becomes attached to the tube via an immunological reaction between the alpha 1-acid glycoprotein and the specific antibody is measured spectrophotometrically. This assay is accurate reproducible, simple, and economical. As little as 4 microgram of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein per liter can be detected. The normal range for alpha 1-acid glycoprotein in the plasma of healthy adults, as measured by this method, is 0.48-1.27 g/L; the range is significantly different, 0.29-0.73 g/L, for women who are taking oral contraceptive pills.
