Serology Service

Serology usually refers to the diagnostic identification of antibodies in the serum. Such antibodies are typically formed in response to an infection (against a given microorganism), against other foreign proteins (in response, for example, to a mismatched blood transfusion), or to one’s own proteins (in instances of autoimmune disease).Serological tests are diagnostic methods that are used to identify antibodies and antigens in a patient’s sample.
Serological tests may be performed to diagnose infections and autoimmune illnesses, to check if a person has immunity to certain diseases.
Several methods can be used to detect antibodies and antigens, including ELISA, agglutination, precipitation, complement-fixation, and fluorescent antibodies and more recently chemiluminescence.
