Immunology Laboratory: Introduction, List of Tests, Specimen, Testing Method, and Keynotes

Introduction of Immunology Laboratory

The Immunology Laboratory is useful for laboratory testing and clinical consultation in several broad domains including the evaluation of autoimmune disease, immunodeficiencies, immunoproliferative disorders, and allergies, as well as having responsibility for some senses of infectious disease serology. To provide absolute consulting and diagnosis for diverse clinical diseases, much work is done in collaboration with the Molecular Diagnostics, Microbiology, Virology, and Hematology laboratories.

Keynotes on Immunology Laboratory

  • The laboratory collaborates with the Immune Monitoring Core Facility in the evaluation of immunodeficiency, whether congenital or acquired through transplantation, especially in clinical trials. The laboratory is in charge of testing that is on the verge of becoming clinical — tests created there frequently make their way into full clinical trials.
  • IFA Stands for Indirect Fluorescent Antibody.
  • The calprotectin stool test is noninvasive and it is tested to determine if you have an inflammatory or noninflammatory bowel condition. Colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy is the alternative assay of the calprotectin stool test.
  • The most common specimen container for immunology assay is a red-top tube or gel-barrier tube.
  • ENA-6S-Profile is an ELISA test system for the qualitative determination of IgG antibodies against six extractable nuclear antigens (ENA), SS-A (Ro 52, Ro 60) SS-B, Sm, RNP/Sm, Scl-70 and Jo-1 in human serum or plasma that helps to the diagnosis of inflammatory rheumatic connective tissue diseases.
