ELISA is used to detect viruses where the key reagent is:
ELISA is used to detect viruses where the key reagent is:
- Alkaline phosphatase
- Catalase
- DNA probe
- RNase
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Alkaline phosphatase is commonly used as an enzyme label in ELISA. It catalyzes a color-producing reaction when a specific antibody-antigen interaction is detected, allowing for the detection of viruses or other target substances in a sample.
So, the correct option is (A): Alkaline Phosphate

HIV and AIDS
What Is HIV?
HIV is a virus that attacks cells that help the body to fight infection and making a person more vulnerable to other infections and diseases. It is spread by contact with certain bodily fluids of a person with HIV. It is most commonly during the unprotected sex or when share injection or drugs equipment.
