ELISA blood test for antibodies to disease

Blood test. Multi-pipette puts blood samples into a multi-well sample tray during an Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA) test for antibodies to viral diseases such as AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) and Hepatitis B & C. In the ELISA test, blood serum of the patient is added to burst T-cells of blood which have been infected by disease. Viral antibodies in the serum of the patient bind to viral antigens from the T-cells. When labelled antihuman immunoglobulin is added, a colour change occurs if viral antibodies are present

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of an ELISA blood test, a vital tool in diagnosing viral diseases such as AIDS and Hepatitis B & C. The image captures a multi-pipette expertly transferring blood samples into a multi-well sample tray during the test. The ELISA test involves adding the patient's blood serum to burst T-cells that have been infected by the disease. Viral antibodies present in the serum bind to viral antigens from these T-cells, creating a crucial interaction for diagnosis. To detect these antibodies accurately, labelled antihuman immunoglobulin is introduced. In this visually striking scene, we witness how this medical marvel unfolds before our eyes: when viral antibodies are present, a remarkable color change occurs within the sample tray. This transformation signifies whether or not the patient carries specific viral infections. With its focus on medicine and clinical expertise, this photograph conveys both precision and care involved in conducting such tests. It serves as a reminder of healthcare professionals' dedication to providing accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans. As we delve into this still life composition captured by Science Photo Library, it becomes evident that behind every successful diagnosis lies extensive research and meticulous testing methods like ELISA—a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of understanding and combating diseases that affect us all.
