The effects of various silver enhancement time on signal intensity. The concentration of antigens spotted on the slides was 100 μg/ml. The silver enhancement time varied from 5 to 15 minutes. The result indicated the optimum time for silver development ranged from 8 to 12 minutes. Both too short (less than 5 minutes) and too long (more than 15 minutes) development might bring on darkened background.
