The assay uses a solid-phase type of enzyme immunoassay (EIA) to detect the presence of a ligand (commonly a protein) in a liquid sample using antibodies directed against the protein to be measured. The ELISA test is the first screening test commonly employed for HIV. It was approved for use on March 2, 1985. ## Scientific Background Although HIV antibody tests are the most appropriate for identifying infection, alternate technologies can contribute to an accurate diagnosis, assist in monitoring the response to therapy, and can be used to effectively predict disease outcomes. Viral isolation through viral culture, nucleic acid tests to detect viral RNA, and tests to detect p24 antigen can be used to demonstrate virus or viral components in blood, thereby verifying infection. These methods are highly specific, and a positive result confirms infection. However, each has limitations and their use must be tailored to proper testing situations. Tests for viral nucleic acid have recently been introduced, but require sophisticated technology and dedicated, well-trained personnel. The HIV antigen test is currently used for screening blood for transfusion and is appropriate for use in several other testing situations. It offers the advantages of simplicity and cost-effectiveness for verifying infection but is less than perfect. The p24 antigen assay measures the viral capsid (core) p24 protein in blood that is detectable earlier than HIV antibody during acute infection. It occurs early after infection due to the initial burst of virus replication and is associated with high levels of viremia during which the individual is highly infectious. However, when antibodies to HIV become detectable, p24 antigen is often no longer demonstrable, most likely due to antigen-antibody complexing in the blood. When detected, p24 antigen is highly specific for infection. The goal of this study is to identify compounds that can inhibit HIV replication in latently infected cells. ## Materials and Methods A microplate is prepared containing a blank, positive and negative controls, the standards, and the samples. ### Controls For confidence in ELISA results, it is necessary to have three experimental controls for comparison: a positive control, negative control, and a standard control. Both the positive and standard controls are known to contain the protein or peptide of interest. The positive control is to confirm that the procedure is performing as intended. The negative control is known to not contain the biomolecule of interest, and adds validity to any positive results. The standard control is necessary for quantification of the experimental results. It contains a known quantity of the target molecule and therefore gives the information necessary to make a standard curve. ### Standards To determine the levels of p24 antigen in latently infected cells, an HIV-1 antigen standard is diluted to prepare a series of eight standards of varying concentrations. Concentrations vary between 0.0 and 200 ng/mL. ### Samples For this study, we use two cloned cells chronically infected with HIV-1: U1 and OM10.1. To prepare the samples, the cells are incubated with different compounds to test. ## Principle The optical densities at 490 nm and 650 nm are measured for the microplate and the ratio of both measurements is calculated. These values are then corrected with the mean of the blank wells' optical densities. A standard curve is generated using a linear graph and plots the concentration of the HIV-p24 antigen standard (ng/mL) on the X-axis versus the mean optical densities for each standard on the Y-axis. Each standard is added in duplicate wells. Then the optical density values of the unknown specimens (samples) are interpolated in the standard curve to determine their concentration using linear regression. If the value of the unknown sample is higher than the value of the highest standard, the sample must be diluted and the entire neutralization procedure is repeated. ## Third-Party Software This tutorial was developed using TIBCO Spotfire 11.4. Visualization templates may need adjustments if using older versions of that software. ## Dataset **Prerequisite:** Control Layout `Elisa_p24` and Dose Layout `Elisa p24 Doses` must exist. Fifty plates are used. References (standards) are placed in duplicate in columns 1 and 2. Blanks are placed in wells A3-A12. Samples are placed in wells B3-G12. Positive and negative controls are placed in wells H3-H12. ![Control Layout for ELISA](https://cdn.document360.io/dde9293e-c107-4b3e-9774-9c9c296ed970/Images/Setting/assay-runs-elisa-plate-layout.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-10T20%3A50%3A29Z&se=2026-11-10T21%3A50%3A29Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=3eFvdX%2FmyqnvuWW9ZFycFqWsbU%2BxqFSkvwgkRi03p0c%3D) *Plate Layout for ELISA* ![Dose Layout for ELISA](https://cdn.document360.io/dde9293e-c107-4b3e-9774-9c9c296ed970/Images/Setting/assay-runs-elisa-dose-layout.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-10T20%3A50%3A29Z&se=2026-11-10T21%3A50%3A29Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=3eFvdX%2FmyqnvuWW9ZFycFqWsbU%2BxqFSkvwgkRi03p0c%3D) *Dose Layout for ELISA* Files to use: - [05-Elisa_raw_data.txt](https://cdn.document360.io/dde9293e-c107-4b3e-9774-9c9c296ed970/Images/Documentation/discngine-assay-05-elisa-raw-data.txt?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-10T20%3A50%3A29Z&se=2026-11-10T21%3A50%3A29Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=3eFvdX%2FmyqnvuWW9ZFycFqWsbU%2BxqFSkvwgkRi03p0c%3D) - [05-Elisa_data_mapping+ECD.txt](https://cdn.document360.io/dde9293e-c107-4b3e-9774-9c9c296ed970/Images/Documentation/discngine-assay-05-elisa-data-mapping-ecd.txt?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-10T20%3A50%3A29Z&se=2026-11-10T21%3A50%3A29Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=3eFvdX%2FmyqnvuWW9ZFycFqWsbU%2BxqFSkvwgkRi03p0c%3D) ## Run Creation - To create a new run, click `New Run`. - Select Mode as `Design Mode`. - Enter a `Run Name`. - Specify the plate format to use: `96 (8x12)`. - Go to the File Reading step. ![Run creation for ELISA](https://cdn.document360.io/dde9293e-c107-4b3e-9774-9c9c296ed970/Images/Setting/assay-runs-rc.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-10T20%3A50%3A29Z&se=2026-11-10T21%3A50%3A29Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=3eFvdX%2FmyqnvuWW9ZFycFqWsbU%2BxqFSkvwgkRi03p0c%3D) *Run creation* `Run Template` is mandatory only in Execution Mode.

Example 1: Plate ZScore interval Plate_ZSCORE < -1.5 or Plate_ZSCORE > 1.5. Select and invalidate the points out of this scope. Example 2: Z' factor interval The Z' factor is an indicator of the statistical data quality for a bioassay. Being Z' factor between 0 and 1, a Z' factor of 1 is ideal. A Z' factor between 0.5 and 1.0 is an excellent assay. A Z' factor between 0 and 0.5 is marginal. A Z' factor less than 0 means that the signal from the positive and negative controls could overlap, making the assay not very useful for screening purposes.

If the assay is locked, you can review the different steps of the workflow but modifications are not allowed. The assay must be locked to be published. - **Lock** your Analysis. - Go to the **Publisher** step. ## Publisher Selection & Workflow Template Creation You can select a target publisher. **Discngine Publisher to Warehouse** is the publisher by default but others may be installed. For more information on publishing data see the Publisher guide. - Select **None** - Save your analysis template by clicking on **Save As Run Template**. The templates are stored in the system and can be used in Execution mode. - Give a name and description to the run template. The entire workflow information of the assay is displayed as a summary. ![Save the analysis as a template](https://cdn.document360.io/dde9293e-c107-4b3e-9774-9c9c296ed970/Images/Setting/assay-runs-rs.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-10T20%3A50%3A29Z&se=2026-11-10T21%3A50%3A29Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=3eFvdX%2FmyqnvuWW9ZFycFqWsbU%2BxqFSkvwgkRi03p0c%3D) *Save the analysis as a template* - Click on `Apply changes` and your template is saved. Once the run template is saved, the screeners can use it in Execution Mode, following [this tutorial](/public/docs/elisa-assay-execution-mode)
