antibody electrophoresis

Antibody electrophoresis is a laboratory technique used to analyze proteins called antibodies in blood. A sample is placed on a special gel and an electric current is applied, causing proteins to move based on their size and charge. This separation creates distinct bands representing different antibody types. The results help doctors identify immune system issues, infections, or blood disorders by revealing abnormal levels or patterns of antibodies. Overall, it’s a precise method to study the immune proteins critical for fighting infections and maintaining health.
