Popis: In this study, we applied tyramide signal amplification (TSA) to fluorescence enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) employing horseradish peroxidase (HRP) as the detection enzyme. When used with a human epidermal growth factor ELISA kit, the TSA method led to a >100-fold increase in fluorescence signal intensity in comparison to an unamplified method. It also showed wider dynamic range and better sensitivity compared to a conventional method using tetramethylbenzidine as the HRP substrate.
