Our immune system offers protection against disease. This protection is called immunity.
We have three types of immunity:
There are immunological tests for many different medical conditions and purposes. They can test for allergies, cancer or pregnancy and carry out routine tests in hospitals or rapid tests at home. The immunological tests used in laboratories are made by producing artificial antibodies that match the substance or germ in question. When these antibodies come into contact with a sample of blood, urine or stool, they bind to the matching substance or germ if found in the given sample. This reaction shows whether the germ or substance is present or not.
Immunological tests can diagnose congenital or acquired immune diseases, differentiate between different forms of rheumatoid arthritis, or monitor the progression of an existing medical condition, such as certain tumors.
