Popis: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) enables fast and simple quantification of analytes in the pico- to nanogram range in complex samples. Here, we describe an ELISA for the detection of porcine C3a as a marker for complement activation. Antibody specificity is critical for a robust assay. This assay is based on a pair of antibodies specific for the porcine C3a molecule and thus does not react with native C3.
