Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.
-
Immunodiagnosis
The use of antibody assays, immunocytochemistry, detection of lymphocyte markers, and other strategies to diagnose autoimmune diseases, immunodeficiencies, infections, or malignancies,
-
Immunocytoadherence
A laboratory test used to identify antibody-bearing cells by the formation of rosettes composed of red blood cells and those cells bearing antibodies.
-
Immunoconglutinin
A protein used in the laboratory to assess the number of immune complexes in blood, which may be related to immunological activity. It acts by binding with complement factor 3, a significant part of an antigen-antibody immune complex.
-
Immunochemistry
The chemistry of antigens, antibodies, receptors, and other molecules involved in immunological reactions.
-
Immunobiology
The study of immune phenomena in biological systems, including the immune response to infectious diseases, transplantation of organs, allergy, autoimmunity, and cancer.
-
Immunobiological
Any substance derived from a pathogen that can immunize a person or a community against disease; e.g., a vaccine.
-
Sandwich immunoassay
An immunoassay in which the analyte is bound to a solid phase and a labeled reagent subsequently bound immunochemically to the analyte.
-
End point immunoassay
An immunoassay in which the signal is measured as the antigen-antibody complex reaches equilibrium.
-
Cloned enzyme donor immunoassay
A homogeneous enzyme immunoassay (EIA), based on the modulation of enzyme activity by bound fragments of beta-galactosidase.
-
Immunoaffinity purification
Exposure to monoclonal antibodies in order to isolate specific analytes. Immunoaffinity purification is used during the preparation of blood products to reduce their likelihood of contamination by specific disease-causing microorganisms.
