โฆ Synopsis
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) are often used nowadays for qualitative and quantitative determinations of macromolecules. The technique has been undergoing continuous refinement since it was first described by Engvall and Perlman (Immunochemistry 1971, 8:871474) and has, at the same time, found new areas of Abbreviations ALP-alkaline phosphatase; BBA-biotin-labelled antigen radioimmunoassay; ElCA-enzyme-linked coagulation assay; ELISAs--enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays; EUSPOT-enzyme-linked immunospot assay; PlTC-fluoroscein isothiocyanate; HRP-horseradish peroxidase; NADK-reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide.

Fibronectin, a multifunctional soluble glycoprotein, is found in soluble form in blood and other body fluids. Fibronectin binds to biological substrata-collagen, gelatin, etc.-and to nonbiological substrata as well. An interesting finding was that tibronectin bound to polystyrene plastic quickly and
