Application of the indirect immunofluorescence assay against specific antibodies in the diagnosis of infectious respiratory diseases / 中华检验医学杂志

Timely and accurate diagnosis of pathogens plays important role in the controlling of infectious respiratory diseases.Serum detection of specific antibodies against pathogens could indirectly determine the infection and immune status.Serodiagnosis includes enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,indirect immunofluorescence assay,hemagglutination inhibition test,neutralization test and others.Studies showed that indirect immunofluorescence assay had its technique advantages and diagnostic value.Combining with other methods,immunofluorescence assay would offer objective and comprehensive etiological results for clinical practice.
