Western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) are widely used in the protein detection (Savige, 1998). The name of Western blotting, it is also called Western blot. ELISA is the abbreviation of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Ma and Shieh, 2006).
Results from a Western blot test are usually reported in terms of titers which is a measure of the amount of dilution a sample needs before no antibodies remain detectable. A high titer means, therefore, a high level of antibodies and is likely to indicate a major response by the body to a current or recent infection.he Western blot test for Lyme disease is usually used following a positive or indeterminate ELISA (or IFA) test which is more sensitive, but less specific, than the Western blot.
