Immunological assays

Immunological assays are tests that help detect or measure specific proteins, cells, or substances related to the immune system, such as antibodies or antigens. They are used to identify infections, immune responses, or the presence of certain diseases. The process often involves mixing a sample (like blood) with specific molecules that will bind if the target substance is present. This binding produces a measurable signal, such as a color change or light emission. These assays are essential tools in medicine, diagnostics, and research to understand and monitor immune-related conditions accurately.
