This video demonstrates the reporter enzyme fluorescence (REF) imaging for in vivo detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. The infected mice are intraperitoneally injected with a substrate for REF imaging. Upon being hydrolyzed by bacterial β-lactamase enzyme, the substrate emits fluorescence, the detection of which aids evaluation of infection.

Using Luminex Corporation’s xMAP microsphere technology, we have developed the Multiplexed Fluorometric ImmunoAssay (MFIA) for serosurveillance of various laboratory animal species. The MFIA is a suspension microarray where antigen, tissue control or immunoglobulins are covalently linked to color-coded polystyrene microspheres. The MFIA testing method as well as various troubleshooting topics is addressed.

We demonstrate a snap chip technology for performing cross-reactivity-free multiplexed sandwich immunoassays by simply snapping two slides. A snap apparatus is used for reliably transferring reagents from microarray-to-microarray. The snap chip can be used for any biochemical reactions requiring colocalization of different reagents without cross-contamination.

FAQs
The enzyme label converts a fluorogenic substrate into a fluorescent product, creating the measurable signal. Because the immune reagent binds through antibody-antigen recognition, signal generation is linked to the target molecule. Fluorescence intensity can therefore be used to estimate the amount of an analyte present in a biological sample.
Immobilization or capture keeps one assay component positioned so the target-specific interaction can be detected. An antigen or antibody may be attached or captured before the enzyme-labeled immune reagent binds. This arrangement supports selective measurement by concentrating the relevant immune complex for subsequent fluorescence generation.
Fluorescent enzyme immunoassay uses enzyme-generated fluorescence rather than a color signal or radioactive measurement. This provides a sensitive, reproducible way to detect and quantify biological targets while retaining the selective binding properties of antibodies. The approach is consequently useful when researchers need measurable immune-based information without relying on those other signal types.
A typical workflow begins by immobilizing or capturing an antigen or antibody, followed by binding an enzyme-labeled immune reagent to the target. Researchers then add a fluorogenic substrate, which the enzyme converts into a fluorescent product. Measuring the resulting fluorescence provides information about the quantity of analyte in the sample.
The method can measure a broad range of biological targets, including hormones, antibodies, proteins, pathogens, and other biomarkers. Its usefulness comes from matching antibody-based recognition to the molecule of interest, while the enzyme-generated fluorescence supplies a measurable readout. This makes FEIA applicable to both clinical and biological research samples.
In biology, FEIA can help characterize immune responses by measuring antibodies or other immune-related targets. It can also reveal disease-associated changes through analysis of biomarkers, proteins, hormones, or pathogens. These measurements give researchers a way to compare biological samples and investigate changes linked to immune activity or disease conditions.
