How are Antibody-Based Techniques Used in Toxicology?
Antibody-based techniques are widely used in toxicology for both detection and quantification of toxins. Techniques such as ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) and Western blotting rely on antibodies to identify the presence of specific proteins or toxins. These methods are highly sensitive and specific, making them invaluable tools in both clinical diagnostics and environmental monitoring.
