Explore infectious diseases using a hands-on simulated ELISA assay. ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) is a common laboratory technique used to test blood serum for antibodies against disease-causing agents.

Using the ELISA Simulation Kit, students work in pairs to diagnose 6 fictitious patients for HIV, Lyme disease, avian influenza (bird flu), or West Nile virus. Hypothetical scenarios are provided for each patient being tested for each disease. This kit poses no risk of infection because it does not contain actual serum samples, antibodies, antigens, or disease-causing agents.
