|
What is to detect or quantify antibodies made in response to microbial infections |
Serology |
|
The type of antibody detected in a persin during infection can determine what |
Ir the person has experienced the infection Had a historic infection or a recent infection About the persons cellular immune response |
|
what antibodies are associated with recent infection and historic infection |
IgM- recently acquired infection IgG-historic or chronic infection |
|
Name the 5 steps for an elisa for IgG |
Coat surface with antigen Add serum (contain IgG) Add anti-IgG Add substrate Stop reaction and measure |
