Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Wide range of serological tests are available to recognize the antigens or antibodies in the blood. Using the tagged or labelled antibody to identify an antigen is an altered form of serological testing method, for example ELISA, fluorescent antibody tests, and immunoblotting tests.

Immunology
This 29 year old Lab Tech is suffering from fever, persistent fatigue, and joint pain. He reported that a needle in a plastic garbage bag nicked his finger about 2 months ago. His physical examination was within normal limits.
His laboratory data, however, revealed elevated liver serum enzyme levels and total bilirubin levels. Additional laboratory data included positive HBsAg and positive IgM anti-HBc. His IgM anti-HAV and anti-HCV tests were negative.
1. Does this patient have a form of infectious hepatitis? If so, what type?
2. Can any further tests be done to confirm the diagnosis?
3. What's the patient’s prognosis?
This is a case study for Immunology & Serology with (4) questions for studying purposes.
A 35-year-old man recently received a kidney transplant. He had been feeling well until 2 weeks before, when he experienced a sore throat, fever, chills, profound malaise, and myalgia. Splenomegaly and lymphadenopathy were observed. His medications included cyclosporine.
1. Could this patient be suffering from an infectious disease?2. Why would this patient be susceptible to an opportunistic infection?3. How could an infection of this type be potentially eliminated?4. Are health care workers at risk for infections of this type?

What kind of antibodies are present in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)? 5. What does ELISA stand for? 6. In general, what is an ELISA test used to detect? 7. In an indirect ELISA, which antibody is linked to the enzyme? (i.e the primary antibody from the blood serum or the secondary anti-human antibody) Questions from HHMI Virtual Immunology Lab Website Diagnosis (The answers to the following question can be found in the “Diagnosis” tab) 8.

Increased susceptibility to pyogenic (pus-forming) bacterial infections often points to a defect in antibody, complement, or phagocytotic function. 2.
