Technology
An in vitro assay that is used to determine whether antibodies present in serum samples will prevent hemagglutination in a cell culture plate containing red blood cells and influenza virus.
Technology
A laboratory testing method to determine the concentrations of immunoglobulins in the blood.
Technology
An enhancement of immunoelectrophoresis in which a series of post-electrophoretic gel slabs are layered with cellulose-acetate gels saturated with specific antibodies. The resulting antigen-antibody complexes fixed on the second gel may then be stained, allowing sensitive and specific qualitative visual identification of paraproteins by electrophoretic position. It can be used to identify specific proteins in the blood or urine. It has greatest application in the identification and monitoring of monoclonal proteins that are produced in conditions like Waldenstom's macroglobulinaemia and multiple myeloma.
Technology
This is an all-round useful stain for many things, including glycogen, mucin, mucoprotein, glycoprotein, as well as fungi. The reaction is based on the oxidation of glycol group to aldehydes by periodate. The schiff's reagent selectively stains the aldehydes to a rose pink color. PAS is useful for outlining tissue structures--basement membranes, capsules, blood vessels, etc.
