2.3.2. Detection of Salivary Cortisol
Salivary cortisol was dectected using a commercially available ELISA (Salimetrics,
LCC, USA). Briefly, a 96-well microtitre plate coated with monoclonal antibodies to
cortisol was used. Cortisol standards (3.000, 1.000, 0.333, 0.111, 0.037, and 0.012
g/ml) and the unknown compete with cortisol linked to horseradish perxidase for the
antibody binding sites. Following incubation (55 mins) the plate was washed to
remove unbound material. Bound cortisol peroxidase was measured by the reaction of
the peroxidase enzyme on the substrate tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)
