Bridging Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) is commonly used in detection of antibodies directed against therapeutic proteins. Advantages of the bridging ELISA include the capability to detect antibodies regardless of their isotype or the species of origin. However, detection of antibodies can be difficult, if not impossible, in the presence of high levels of the antigen in the sample matrix. This protocol describes a bridging ELISA that uses a covalently coupled high density antigen surface combined with an acid dissociation step to allow for antibody detection in the presence of antigen in human serum.

Background: Liver cancer (LC) is a deadly malignancy with limited therapeutic options in recent years. Natural killer cell-derived exosomes (NK-exo), as an important bridge of information transmission between cells, also have a certain killing effect on tumor cells. On this basis, this study investigated the specific regulatory mechanism of NK-exo on LC cells.

Background & objectives The COVID-19 pandemic underscores the significance of vaccination in mitigating disease spread, with Covishield and Covaxin serving as pivotal vaccines in India. Breast milk, rich in vital antibodies like IgA and IgG, plays a crucial role in enhancing the immune defence of breastfeeding infants. However, limited research exists on the antibody responses in breast milk among individuals receiving single versus double doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Objectives A disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM)-15 and vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin are involved in angiogenesis. We investigated the relationship between ADAM-15 and VE-cadherin expressions in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods VE-cadherin concentrations in the serum of patients with RA were measured using the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Context: Platelet concentrates are rich in growth factors that assist in regenerative medicine to promote healing and tissue regeneration. Similarly, partially demineralized tooth is a storehouse of many growth factors, assisting in bone regeneration. Hence, the present study aimed to quantify the release of growth factors from different platelet concentrates individually and when mixed with a partially demineralized tooth matrix.
