Serology- Immunology
At Care Diagnostix, most of the serology tests are automated to add accuracy to the test values. Antibodies in the blood sample often mean you’ve had an immune system response to a specific antigen from either a current or a past exposure to a disease or foreign protein. The testing may also diagnose an autoimmune disorder. In that case, antibodies to normal or non-foreign proteins or antigens would be present in the blood. The presence of certain types of antibodies can also mean that you’re immune to one or more antigen. This means that future exposure to the antigen or antigens won’t result in illness.
