serology and dna techniques are employed for human leukocyte antigen (hla) typing in different transplant centers. results may not always correlate well and may need retyping with different technique. all the patients (with aplastic anemia, thalassemia, and immunodeficiency) and their donors, requiring hla typing for bone marrow transplant were enrolled in the study. serological hla typing was ...

A case of severe acute encephalomyelitis associated with a serological diagnosis of both Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Legionella pneumophila infection is reported. Serological co-positivity between these two pathogens has been reported previously, and has, in general, been attributed to cross-reactivity. This is the first documented case of co-infection using more sensitive and specific serologica...

the term “serological epidemiology” is based to describe a method which has unique applications in comparing the immunologic status and health experiences of various populations, especially among populations for which morbidity data and vital statistics are scanty or completely lacking, or for inaccessible areas where the collection of serum is made with difficulty. serologic and hematological ...

In recent years, viral epidemics such as the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have spread, and this outbreak is thought to be the result of animal-to-human transmission. Hence, accurate diagnostic tests to detect COVID-19 and antiviral antibodies in infected individuals are of utmost importance. This report describes the structure, history, taxonomy, and molecular and immunological techniques for...

Caprine arthritis encephalitis (CAE) is a chronic disease caused by a small ruminant lentivirus (SRLV), which causes significant losses in goat breeding. The actual state of animal infection with SRLV is difficult to determine due to a complex pathogenesis of the virus, including factors such as delayed or intermittent seroconversion in serological tests. Several serological techniques are avai...
