An immunological method for the assay of chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) in human urine has been described in detail. The method is useful as a simple and rapid pregnancy test and can be applied for quantitative determinations of HCG in urine.
What are immunological tests?
Immunologic tests employ an antigen to detect presence of antibodies to a pathogen, or an antibody to detect the presence of an antigen, of the pathogen in the specimens. The immunological tests used in laboratories are made by producing artificial antibodies that exactly “match” the pathogen in question.

What is Gravindex test?
Gravindex is an agglutination inhibition test performed on a urine sample to detect pregnancy. It is based on double antigen antibody reaction. The test detects the prevention of agglutination of HCG-coated latex particles by HCG present in the urine of pregnant women.
What is immune testing for infertility?
Reproductive Immunology Testing involves testing of the immune system to reveal what is causing infertility, recurrent miscarriage or repeated failure of IVF.
What is the most common test performed in immunohematology laboratories?
The most frequently used methods are the platelet immunofluorescence test (PIFT), the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the monoclonal antibody-specific immobilization of platelet antigens (MAIPA).
What is Immunoserology test?
A variety of test systems have been developed to identify the causative organisms of infectious diseases. Test systems used in immunoserology have classically included methods of detecting antigen-antibody reactions which range from complement fixation to immunoassay methods.
What is negative result in prega news?
A negative pregnancy test result means the test hasn’t detected hCG in your urine. If your period is very late, or you’ve skipped your period, and you get a negative result, you are unlikely to be pregnant.
