Download Lecture Overview
00:01 Immunodiagnostics are used to assess patients with suspected immunological conditions. 00:07 Clinical situations in which immune system components are assessed include infection, where we use the term seroconversion to describe a situation where antibodies are produced against specific pathogens. 00:23 So the presence of an antibody against a particular bacterium or virus will indicate that that person is seroconverted. 00:31 We measure immunological parameters in immunodeficiency that can be quantitative measurements or qualitative measurements. 00:41 In allergy, sensitization to allergens is measured. 00:46 In autoimmune disease, autoantibodies and T-cell autoreactivity can be measured. 00:53 And finally in transplantation, HLA matching takes place. 00:58 This was covered in the transplantation lecture.
