USE OF IMMUNOFLUORESCENCE METHOD IN IMMUNOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS (PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS)

Abstract

A review of the applications of the immunofluorescence method in immunological diagnosis emphasizes the gap still existing between the rather numerous preliminary studies and their extension to broad practical use. On the basis of this latter criterion, three applications are noted: the test applied to the diagnosis of syphilis (F.T.A. test); the diagnostic test for pneumopathies due to the Eaton agent; and the test for antinuclear antibodies.
