All Immunity and Titer Tests

The Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) 1 and 2 IgG Type-Specific Antibody HerpeSelect® Test detects IgG antibodies to HSV-1 and HSV-2 in the blood. It helps determine past exposure or infection with either virus type and distinguishes between HSV-1 and HSV-2 to guide diagnosis and management.

The IgE Test measures the level of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood. Elevated IgE may indicate allergic reactions, asthma, or certain parasitic infections. This test helps identify potential allergies and supports the evaluation of immune system activity.

The IgG Test measures immunoglobulin G (IgG), the most common antibody in the blood, which plays a key role in immune defense. Abnormal levels can indicate infections, immune deficiencies, or autoimmune disorders. This test helps evaluate immune system function and overall health.

 The IgG Subclasses Panel test is a laboratory test that measures the levels of different subclasses of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in the blood. IgG antibodies play a crucial role in the immune system's response to infections and other immune-related processes. There are four main subclasses of IgG: IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4.

The IgM Test measures immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies in the blood, which are the first antibodies produced in response to an infection. Elevated levels may indicate a recent or active infection, while low levels can suggest an immune deficiency. This test helps evaluate immune system function and detect infections.

 The Immunofixation test, also known as Immunofixation Electrophoresis (IFE), is a laboratory procedure used to detect and identify abnormal proteins in the blood, especially monoclonal proteins (proteins produced by a single type of cell). The test involves separating proteins in a sample based on their size and electrical charge, and then exposing the separated proteins to antibodies specific to different protein types.

The IgA Test measures immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels in the blood, an antibody that plays a key role in immune defense of the mucous membranes in the respiratory and digestive tracts. Abnormal levels may indicate immune deficiencies, chronic infections, autoimmune disorders, or liver disease.

 The Immunoglobulins Panel test, also known as Total Serum Immunoglobulins test, is a comprehensive assessment of different types of immunoglobulins (antibodies) present in the blood. Immunoglobulins are proteins produced by the immune system to fight against infections and provide immunity. This panel measures the levels of various immunoglobulin classes: IgA, IgG, and IgM.

The Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) test evaluates the levels of iron and the capacity of proteins to bind iron in the blood. It provides information about iron metabolism and helps assess iron deficiency or iron overload conditions.

The Magnesium test measures the levels of magnesium, an essential mineral, in the blood. Magnesium is involved in numerous bodily functions, including nerve and muscle function, regulating blood pressure, and maintaining a healthy heart rhythm.

The Measles Antibody IgG test is a blood test designed to detect the presence of IgG antibodies specific to the measles virus (rubeola). IgG antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to a measles infection or vaccination and provide long-term immunity. This test is used to determine whether an individual has been previously exposed to the measles virus or has developed immunity through vaccination. It is a valuable tool for assessing immune status, particularly in individuals who may be at risk of contracting or spreading the virus.

The Measles Titer, also known as the Measles Serology test, is a laboratory test used to measure the level of specific antibodies against the measles virus in a person's blood. This test helps determine a person's immune status to measles and assesses their level of protection against the virus.

The MMR Titer Test measures IgG antibodies to Measles, Mumps, and Rubella viruses to determine immunity. It helps confirm vaccination response, assess the need for booster shots, or verify immunity after potential exposure.

The Poliovirus (Types 1, 3) Antibodies, Neutralization test is a specialized immunological assay designed to detect and quantify the presence of neutralizing antibodies against poliovirus types 1 and 3 in the blood. These antibodies are part of the body's immune response to either past exposure to the poliovirus, through infection or vaccination. The test specifically measures the ability of these antibodies to neutralize or inhibit the infectivity of the virus, which is a crucial aspect of immunity.

The Quantiferon TB Gold Plus test is a blood test that helps detect tuberculosis (TB). It measures the body's immune response to the bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes TB. This test is often preferred over the traditional TB skin test because it only requires one blood test and tends to be more accurate, especially in people who have received the BCG vaccine.
