Blood samples for serological tests
Table of Contents
Serological tests also known as serology tests or antigen or antibody tests are any of several laboratory procedures carried out on blood specimens (the serum-an amber-colored, protein-rich fluid that separates out when blood coagulates) for the purpose of detecting antibodies or antibody-like substances that appear specifically in association with certain clinical conditions or diseases. Common examples of serology tests are precipitation, flocculation, agglutination, neutralization, hemagglutinin-inhibition tests, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), radioimmunoassay (RIA) and chemiluminescence immunoassays.
Common serological tests as well as alternative detection methods are as follows-
| S.No | Serological Assays | Method/s |
| 1. | CRP (C-Reactive Protein) | Nephelometry/Latex agglutination |
| 2. | RF (Rheumatoid Factor) | Nephelometry/Latex agglutination |
| 3. | ASO (Anti-Streptolysin O) | Nephelometry/Latex agglutination |
| 4. | Malarial antigen test | Immunochromatography |
| 5. | Scrub Typhus Antibody | Immunochromatography/ELISA/PCR |
| 6. | Leishmania | Immunochromatography/ELISA/ PCR |
| 7. | Dengue IgG/IgM, NS1 | Immunochromatography/PCR |
| 8. | Brucella | Immunochromatography/ELISA/ PCR/Brucella agglutination Test |
| 9. | Leptospira | Immunochromatography/PCR/MAT |
| 10. | H. Pylori antibody | Immunochromatography/ELISA/PCR |
| 11. | H. Pylori antigen | Immunochromatography/ELISA/PCR |
| 12. | COVID-19 Ag/Antibody or genes test | Immunochromatography/ELISA/PCR |
