IMMUNOLOGY / SEROLOGY
Immunology and Serology Departments in Biomedical and Clinical Sciences Are Pivotal in Understanding and Diagnosing Diseases Associated With the Immune System. The Immunology Department Focuses on the Body’s Defence Mechanisms, Including the Interaction of Antigens and Antibodies, and How the Immune Response Can Be Harnessed to Combat Infections, Malignancies, and Autoimmune Disorders. The Serology Department, Often Working in Tandem With Immunology, Employs Serological Tests to Detect and Quantify Antibodies or Antigens in the Serum. These Assays Are Essential for Diagnosing Infectious Diseases Such as Hiv, Hepatitis, and Lyme Disease, as Well as for Monitoring Immune Responses to Treatments, Vaccinations, or Potential Allergens. Both Departments Utilize Sophisticated Methodologies Like Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assays (Elisa) and Western Blotting, Thereby Ensuring Precision and Reliability in Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications. Their Synergistic Efforts Contribute to the Comprehensive Understanding and Management of Immune-related Health Conditions.
