Diagnostic immunology

Diagnostic immunology is a method by which we can diagnose the disease caused by a particular infectious microorganism, different types of immunoassays have been developed. This relies on antigen-antibody reaction for detection of the disease. Immunologic methods are used as tools to treat and prevent of diseases such as infectious and immune-mediated diseases. The field of diagnostic immunology has advanced significantly over the years. Immunodiagnostics is a method which mostly relies on the antigen-antibody reaction for the detection of a disease. Immunologic theories are been employed and used as the tools in the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases as well as the immune-mediated diseases. They have high specificity and sensitivity which all depends on the value of antibody detection.
