Agglutination is known as the clumping of the particles. The word agglutination originates from the Latin word agglutinare, which means “to glue to.” This is known to occur in biology among three main examples. The first example is the clumping of the cells like bacteria or the red blood cells when in the presence of [...]
The quick detection of the bacterial antigens in a person’s bodily fluids is done by immunological tests like the latex agglutination test. Although the detection of the antigenuria by the latex agglutination has the theoretical appeal, the troublesome reactions like the nonspecific agglutination of the latex particles have a limited utility of technique. It was [...]
The cold agglutinins blood test refers to a test that is conducted mainly to point out those conditions that can cause the human body to develop some different set of antibodies known as the cold agglutinins. These antibodies usually develop in the human immune system as a reaction to or response to an infection. They [...]
Monoclonal antibodies are also known as the mAb or moAb are monospecific antibodies. These are all the same and are created by a single type of immune cell that are all clones of the unique parent cell. Given almost any kind of substance, monoclonal antibodies can be created and mainly bind to the substance. They [...]
ELISA is also referred to as the Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. It is also known as the EIA or the enzyme immunoassay. It is the biochemical technique which is primarily used in immunology to help in detection of the presence of any antibodies or also to detect an antigen present in a given sample. The [...]

Food sensitivity or food hypersensitivity is a reaction to food that occurs due to intolerance of certain types of food. It is not to be mixed up with food allergies which occur due to the presence of certain chemicals. A food allergy is something that happens as a result of immunological hypersensitivity. This is caused [...]
Lyme disease is a serious condition caused by three different species of bacteria. It is a highly infectious disease and therefore should be diagnosed properly to prevent its spread. Elisa test, which is more commonly associated with the testing for AIDS, is used to test the presence of antibodies of Lyme disease.
This is a blood [...]
A cardic angiogram or a coronary angiogram is a process that utilizes X-ray imaging in order to evaluate the blood vessels in your heart. Cardic angiograms are a part of larger procedure termed as cardiac catheterization. Catheterization is a procedure wherein a thin, flexible and long tube is inserted into your body. Heart catheter procedures [...]
Blood phosphate level can be measured through a blood phosphate test. This test determines how much phosphate is present in your blood sample. The human body needs phosphorous for growth and repair of bones, muscles as well as teeth. It also makes the muscles contract and the nerves function. About 85 percent of the [...]
