Discuss methods that are used to facilitate antibody identification

Test Methods

The three most commonly used methods in antibody detection and identification are tube, gel and solid phase.

Increased sensitivity in detection of antibodies is seen when using the tube method with PEG or the gel method (especially for mixed field reactions). Solid phase testing has a better sensitivity than just using the test tube method with LISS.
