ELISPOT assays involve the use of "capture" antibodies to detect individual cells secreting specific substances, such as cytokines or antibodies, making them a powerful tool for studying immune responses at the single-cell level. They are not modifications of Western blotting, which is a technique used for detecting specific proteins in a sample.
