Immunoassays are biochemical tests designed to determine the presence and concentration of a particular micro or macro molecule or chemical, often in a solution such as serum, plasma or cell culture fluid with antibody or antigen reagents. Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins formed by human and animal immune functions reacting to unknown substances (antigens) like viruses, toxins, and bacteria. Antibodies respond to specific antigens, tying spots on the antigen and antibody acting as a lock and key. With the help of reagents, immunoassays use the relation between antibodies and antigens to...
