Summary Introduction
To review:
The use of anti-human IgG (ImmunoglobulinG) in immunological testing.
Introduction:
Immunological testing is the procedure that uses antigens and immunoglobulins to detect presence of disease in the organism. Immunoglobulins are the class of proteins that are present in the serumand immune cells and function as antibodies to fight against the pathogen.
