  2. Titer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titer

    It is conventionally expressed as the inverse of the greatest dilution level that still gives a positive result on some test. ELISA is a common means of determining antibody titers. For example, the indirect Coombs test detects the presence of anti-Rh antibodies in a pregnant woman's blood serum. A patient might be reported to have an "indirect ...

  3. Immunoassay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoassay

    In immunology the particular macromolecule bound by an antibody is referred to as an antigen and the area on an antigen to which the antibody binds is called an epitope. In some cases, an immunoassay may use an antigen to detect for the presence of antibodies, which recognize that antigen, in a solution.

  4. Fluorescence polarization immunoassay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescence_polarization...

    The tracer and the specific antigen will compete to bind to the antibody and if the antigen is low in concentration, more tracer will be bound to the antibody resulting in a higher fluorescence polarization and vice versa. [7] A conventional FPIA follows the procedure below: A specific quantity of sample is added to reaction buffer.

    The eclipse period is a variable period starting from HIV exposure in which no existing test can detect HIV. The median duration of the eclipse period in one study was 11.5 days. The window period is the time between HIV exposure and when an antibody or antigen test can detect HIV. The median window period for antibody/antigen testing is 18 days.

  6. Viral disease testing - Wikipedia

    The UK spent $20 million for antibody tests that proved flawed. [7] In May 2020, a rapid antigen test from Quidel Corporation received EUA for detecting SARS-CoV-2. [8] Test results were said to be available at point of care within 15 minutes. [9] Sensitivity is 85%. [1]

  7. Complement fixation test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complement_fixation_test

    The complement fixation test is an immunological medical test that can be used to detect the presence of either specific antibody or specific antigen in a patient's serum, based on whether complement fixation occurs. It was widely used to diagnose infections, particularly with microbes that are not easily detected by culture methods, and in ...

  8. Ouchterlony double immunodiffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouchterlony_double_immuno...

    Antibodies have at least two antigen binding sites (and in the case of immunoglobulin M there is a multimeric complex with up to 10 antigen binding sites), thus large aggregates or gel-like lattices of antigen and antibody are formed. Experimentally, an increasing amount of antigen is added to a constant amount of antibody in solution.

  9. Radioimmunoassay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioimmunoassay

    This radiolabeled antigen is then mixed with a known amount of antibody for that antigen, and as a result, the two specifically bind to one another. Then, a sample of serum from a patient containing an unknown quantity of that same antigen is added. This causes the unlabeled (or "cold") antigen from the serum to compete with the radiolabeled ...
