Antibody screening is a laboratory test used to detect the presence of antibodies in a person's blood, indicating an immune response to infections, vaccines, or other stimuli. This process is commonly employed in blood transfusions, organ transplants, and prenatal testing to identify potential incompatibilities or autoimmune disorders. By analyzing serum samples, healthcare professionals can determine if the body has produced antibodies against specific pathogens or antigens, guiding further medical decisions and treatments.
Basically the test is to check for the HIV antibody and NOT the HIV virus itself.
The adult CMV antibody screening test requires 5 mL of blood.

When choosing a secondary antibody for your experiment, consider the primary antibody you are using and select a secondary antibody that is specific to the species and isotype of the primary antibody. Additionally, ensure that the secondary antibody is compatible with the detection method you are using, such as fluorescence or enzyme-linked detection. Conducting a thorough literature review and consulting with colleagues or antibody suppliers can also help in selecting the most suitable secondary antibody for your experiment.
