Anti-C1-Inhibitor Autoantibody Detection by ELISA

Methods Mol Biol. 2021:2227:115-120. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-1016-9_11.

Abstract

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a quantitative analytical method used to measure the concentration of molecules in biological fluids through antigen-antibody reactions. Here we describe the measurement of anti-C1-inhibitor autoantibodies by an indirect ELISA. In this method patients' sera are incubated in a microplate coated with plasma derived C1-inhibitor.

Keywords: Angioedema; Autoantibodies; C1-inhibitor; C1-inhibitor deficiency; ELISA.
