Immunotherapy – preformed Ab
Immune serum globulin – (gamma globulin) contains immunoglobulin extracted from the pooled blood of at least 1,000 human donors
• Treatment of choice for preventing measles, hepatitis A and replacing Ab in the immune deficient
• Lasts 2-3 months

Immunotherapy – preformed Ab
Specific immune globulin- prepared from convalescent patients in a hyperimmune state
• Contains high titer of specific Ab• pertussis, tetanus, chickenpox, hepatitis B• sera produced in horses are available for
diphtheria, botulism, spider and snake bites• act immediately & can protect patients for
whom no other useful medication exists

Vaccines
• Provide an antigenic stimulus that does not cause disease but can produce long lasting, protective immunity

Serology• A science that attempts to detect signs of infection in a
patient’s serum such as Ab for a specific microbe• Serological tests based on Abs specifically binding to
Ag. – Ag of known identity will react with Ab in an unknown
serum sample.– Known Ab can be used to detect Ag in serum
• Ag-Ab reactions are visible by clumps, precipitates, color changes or release of radioactivity.
• The most effective tests have high specificity and sensitivity.

Types of serological tests
1. Agglutination tests2. Double diffusion precipitation tests3. Immunoelectrophoresis4. Western blot tests5. Complement fixation tests6. Immunofluorescence testing7. Immunoassays

Types of serological tests
1. Agglutination tests – Ab cross-links whole cell Ag, forming complexes that settle out and from visible clumps in the test chamber– blood type, some bacterial & viral diseases

2. Double diffusion precipitation tests involve the diffusion of Ags and Abs in a soft agar gel, forming zones of precipitation where they meet
![Page 17: Immunization and Immune Assays - PowerPoint Presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559e0f681a28ab38088b4599/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

3. Immunoelectrophoresis – migration of serum proteins in gel is combined with precipitation by Ab
![Page 19: Immunization and Immune Assays - PowerPoint Presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559e0f681a28ab38088b4599/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

4. Western blot test – separates Ag into bands. After the gel is affixed to a blotter, it is reacted with a test specimen and developed by radioactivity or with dyes
![Page 21: Immunization and Immune Assays - PowerPoint Presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559e0f681a28ab38088b4599/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

5. Complement fixation tests detect lysins- Ab that fix complement and can lyse target cells. Involves mixing test Ag and Ab with complement and then with sensitized sheep RBCs.
If complement is fixed by the Ag-Ab, the RBCs remain intact and the test is positive.
If RBCs are hemolyzed, specific Ab are lacking and the test is negative.

6. Immunofluorescence testing uses fluorescent Ab either directly or indirectly to visualize cells or cell aggregates that have reacted with the FAbs

7. Immunoassays are highly sensitive tests for Ag and Ab.
Radioimmunoassay –Ag or Abs are labeled with radioactive isotopes and traced
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) can detect unknown Ag or Ab by direct or indirect means. A positive result is visualized when a colored product is released by an enzyme-substrate reaction.

• Tests can differentiate B cells from T cells and their subtypes.
