Method Description
The test kit provides microtiter strips, each with 8 break-off reagent wells. In the case of positive samples, specific IgG antibodies (also IgA and IgM) will bind to the antigens. To detect the bound antibodies, a second incubation is carried out using an enzyme-labelled antihuman IgG (enzyme conjugate) catalyzing a color reaction.(Package insert: Anti-PLA2R ELISA [IgG] Kit, EUROIMMUN US; V 07/08/2020)
