Lab technicians use the Elisa assay test to screen for HIV-I antibodies. Credit: Bill Branson (photographer).

Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies confirm that this patient's cutaneous t-cell lymph cancer involves the lymph nodes and skin. The antibodies collect in the cancerous lymph nodes of the armpits, neck and groin and a strong outline of the patient's body verifies skin involvement. The liver and spleen are darkened, too, because it is normal for these organs to collect the antibodies. See artwork: GA-17. Credit: Unknown photographer/artist.

Anthrax is diagnosed by isolating B. anthracis from the blood, skin lesions, or respiratory secretions or by measuring specific antibodies in the blood of persons with suspected cases. Credit: CDC.

A blood test can detect the presence of antibodies produces by an infected patient by binding chemicals to the antibodies that fluoresce green under UV light. Credit: CDC.

Streptococci are subdivided into groups based on what antibodies recognize their surface antigens. Group D contains five species, S. faecalis, S. faecium, S. durans, S. avium, and S. bovis. Credit: CDC.

False positive tests results using the ELISA tests will require secondary testing using this Western blot, immunoblotting procedure. The bound antigens are detected when tagged with antibodies during analysis of the nitrocellulose sheet. Credit: CDC.

Using this staining technique, fluorescent dye is attached to the known antibodies that correspond to the suspected antigen. These antibodies will in turn attach to the antigen molecules, if present, and fluoresce when viewed with a fluorescent light. Credit: CDC.

Researchers have developed monoclonal antibodies that detect both Bagesia equii and Babesia caballi. The pathogens cause the disease piroplasmosis, or equine babesiosis, which does not exist in the United States. P. Credit: USDA ARS News; photo by Scott Bauer..
