The enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assay is an efficient technique for the enumeration of single cells secreting antibodies and cytokines. For simultaneous differentiation of individual cells producing interleukin-2 (IL-2) and/or interleukin-4 (IL-4) at a single cell level, a dual color ELISPOT assay has been developed. In the present system, the red spots corresponding to IL-2-secreting cells (T helper type 1, Th1 cells) were developed with a horseradish peroxidase and the amino ethyl carbazole (AEC)/H2O2. The light blue spots corresponding to IL-4-secreting cells (T helper type 2, Th2 cells) were developed with an alkaline phosphatase and the Vector blue. The mixed colored (indigo) spots corresponding to both kinds of cytokine-secreting cells (T helper type 0, Th0 cells) were developed with both substrates. With this system, we could detect the IL-2- and/or IL-4-secreting cells simultaneously in crude spleen cell preparation or purified CD4 fraction. This procedure provides a useful tool for quantitatively analyzing micro-levels of dynamic immune responses.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D012680 Sensitivity and Specificity Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed) Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
D015847 Interleukin-4 A soluble factor produced by activated T-LYMPHOCYTES that induces the expression of MHC CLASS II GENES and FC RECEPTORS on B-LYMPHOCYTES and causes their proliferation and differentiation. It also acts on T-lymphocytes, MAST CELLS, and several other hematopoietic lineage cells.
