The enzyme linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assay is used in vaccine development, cancer research, infectious disease diagnosis and monitoring, autoimmune disease studies and allergy and transplantation research. The ELISPOT enables determination of the frequency of cytokine secreting cells. The ELISPOT is a combination of both immunoassay and bioassay because live cells are cultured in plates. This enables a very high sensitivity to detect cytokine secretion at a single cell level as secreted cytokine does not diffuse into media but is immediately membrane bound.
