The book is aimed specifically at immunology students and professionals who may occasionally need to use these tests, and thus lack training and experience in performing them. The book provides a brief overview of the immune system, including antibodies, antigens, and their interactions. The bulk of the book is comprised of 16 chapters that each explain different serological tests. These chapters start with a general introduction of the test or disease being detected, followed by the test principle, reagents required for the test, procedures and steps to perform the test, and, finally, result interpretation. Both test principles and result interpretation segments include illustrations to aid comprehension. In addition, the book also enables the reader to distinguish between positive and negative results in serological testing. 000856115 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed May 30, 2018). 000856115 650_0 $$aSerology$$xExperiments. 000856115 650_0 $$aClinical immunology$$xExperiments. 000856115 650_0 $$aMedical laboratory technology. 000856115 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aAlhabbab, Rowa Yousef.$$tBasic serological testing.$$dCham, Switzerland : Springer, [2018]$$z3319776932$$z9783319776934$$w(OCoLC)1022779489 000856115 830_0 $$aTechniques in life science and biomedicine for the non-expert. 000856115 852__ $$bebk 000856115 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-77694-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000856115 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:856115$$pGLOBAL_SET 000856115 980__ $$aEBOOK 000856115 980__ $$aBIB 000856115 982__ $$aEbook 000856115 983__ $$aOnline 000856115 994__ $$a92$$bISE
