>>>1) Does anyone know if it is possible to perform ELISA on serum and CSF
samples that were stored one year at -20?<<<


For serum, in general probably yes, depending on the stability of what it
is in the serum that you wish to measure.  For CSF I'm less certain.



>>>2) How long can one keep the samples at -80 to perform ELISA afterwards?
<<<


Again depending on what you are measuring, serum stored at -80 is often
stable for 10 years or more.
