Immunology
Immunology is the study of the structuree and function of the immune system which is responsible for the protection from invading foreign macromolecules or organisms. It is a broad branch of biomedical science that covers the study of all aspects of the immune system in organisms. It deals with the physiological functioning of the immune system in both healthy states and immunological disorders (autoimmune diseases, hypersensitivities, immune deficiency, transplant rejection); the physical, chemical and physiological characteristics of the components of the immune system in vitro, in situ, and in vivo.

two-dimensional gel electrophoresis,
Biology; Immunology
In two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, proteins are separated by isoelectric focusing in one dimension, followed by SDS-PAGE on a slab gel at right-angles to the first dimension. This can separate ...
severe combined immune deficiency
Biology; Immunology
Severe combined immune deficiency (SCID) is an immune deficiency disease in which neither antibody nor T-cell responses are made. It is usually the result of T-cell deficiencies. The scid mutation ...
ABO blood group system
Biology; Immunology
The ABO blood group system antigens are expressed on red blood cells. They are used for typing human blood for transfusion. Individuals who do not express A or B antigens on their red blood cells ...
clusters of differentiation
Biology; Immunology
Clusters of differentiation (CD) are groups of monoclonal antibodies that identify the same cell-surface molecule. The cell-surface molecule is designated CD followed by a number (e.g. CD1, CD2, ...
direct Coombs test
Biology; Immunology
The direct Coombs test uses anti-immunoglobulin to agglutinate red blood cells as a way of detecting whether they are coated with antibody in vivo due to autoimmunity or maternal anti-fetal immune ...

Biology; Immunology
The marginal zone of the lymphoid tissue of the spleen lies at the border of the white pulp. It contains a unique population of B cells, the marginal zone B cells, which do not circulate and are ...
competitive binding assays
Biology; Immunology
Competitive binding assays are serological assays in which unknowns are detected and quantitated by their ability to inhibit the binding of a labeled known ligand to its specific antibody. This is ...
