Serology (ser -> serum; ology -> study of) is the set of experiments and tests that can be done using serum.
Serum is the non-cellular component of blood. That is, it's the liquid (with all its lipids and proteins) that is left over after all the red and white blood cells have been removed.
Serology could involve the measurement of antibody titers (amounts) or cytokine concentrations.
