Method Description

Enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Patient serum is mixed with biotinylated

C1s.  If the C1 inhibitor is functional, it will bind the biotin-C1s and

be bound to avidin-coated plates. The C1 inhibitor, which is immobilized

through its binding to C1s, is then detected with an enzyme-linked

antibody to C1 inhibitor and a colorimetric assay. (Package insert:
