Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Serology is a method which is used to analyze the blood for the presence of a specific antibody and antigens. There is wide-range of serological tests available to recognize the antigens or antibodies in the blood. Using tagged or labelled antibody to identify an antigen is an altered form of serological testing method, for example, fluorescent antibody tests.

A technologist failed to notice that the centrifuge had not properly centrifuged the test tubes prepared for antibody identification. The time of centrifugation was 15 seconds instead of 30 seconds. What would be the potential error in the interpretation of this test? can please any one provide me ans?

- Which of the following media is capable of detecting all clinically significant antibodies while avoiding all clinically insignificant antibodies? Question 1 options: Gel technology Tube technique with PEG No single media is capable of doing this Solid phasearrow_forwardSuppose you were instructed to make two antiserum solutions: The first is identical to what you used in the lab exercise. The other is a 10:6 dilution of the antiserum. After incubation with the antigen, the full-strength antiserum produces a precipitous ring, but the diluted antiserum does not. Explain these results. Is this due to poor specificity or sensitivity of the test?arrow_forwardIf you were using the ELISA to look for the presence of antibodies and the sample gave a negative result, does this mean that there were no antibodies present? Explain.arrow_forward
