Serology/Immunology
Blood serum tests that identify antibodies made in response to infection.
Serology is the study of blood serum, which is the clear fluid that separates when blood clots. At StevensLab, we focus on identifying antibodies, proteins made by a type of white blood cell in response to a foreign substance (antigen) in the body. This is because certain microorganisms stimulate the body to produce antibodies during an active infection.
Tests we offer include
- Blood grouping (ABO and RH)
- Antibody titration
- Coombs' tests
- Anti A/B haemolysin test
- Syphilis
- Tuberculosis
- Amebiasis
- Anthrax
- Brucellosis
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
- Viral hepatitis (various types)
- Fungal arthritis
