Immunologic and Serologic Testing
The immunology-based laboratories (serology, immunopathology, and clinical immunossay) perform several types of testing on blood and urine. Generally, the tests measure levels of antibodies to infectious agents (viral and bacterial) or to autoantigens (normally occurring substance in the body that, through disease processes, causes an immune response or formation of an autoantibody, a "response to self"). We also do testing to identify diseases of the immune system. All testing is done rapidly and cost-effectively, by knowledgeable and experienced staff employing state-of-the-art technology.
