WOULD YOU CONSIDER AN EIA OR WESTERN BLOT AS BEING A MORE SENSITIVE ASSAY? ,EXPLAIN YOUR REASONING.

Solution

As Enzyme Immuno Assay or Wester Bloting detection are based on Enzymatic reactions, and the enzymes are highly specific in nature (Nor like chemical catalysis), they give apt information about antigen or pathogens present in patient or test sample. More over these two are protein based studies, which are final product of gene expression. So these are most sensitive studies than other DNA based molecular studies like PCR
