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.

Serology typically refers to the study of blood serum and the detection of antibodies, while immunological tests encompass a broader range of tests that assess the immune system's response to infections or diseases. Immunological tests can include various methods beyond just serology, such as cellular immune responses or cytokine measurements.
Chemistry, serology, immunology, toxicology and blood bank testing.

Serology, the study of blood serum and its components, was founded in the late 19th century, primarily through the work of scientists like Emil von Behring and Paul Ehrlich. Their research in the 1890s led to the development of serological tests for diagnosing diseases and understanding immune responses. The field has since expanded, playing a crucial role in immunology and diagnostics.
You can obtain serology notes from various sources, including academic textbooks, online educational platforms like Coursera and Khan Academy, and university course websites. Additionally, medical libraries and resources such as PubMed or Google Scholar can provide research articles and reviews that include serological concepts. Joining study groups or forums related to immunology can also be helpful for sharing notes and resources.
Serology nonreactive means negative for the presence of the analyte being detected in the test system.
I think Blood immunology basically means blood immunology
