Hemagglutination Inhibition Test
The nucleic acids of many viruses encode surface proteins (such as hemagglutinin (HA) of influenza virus) that agglutinate red blood
Immunology is the study of the immune system and its role in protecting the body from infection and disease. There are many different types of practicals that can be performed in the field of immunology, including:
Overall, immunology practicals involve the use of a variety of techniques to study the immune system and its role in protecting the body from infection and disease. These practicals are an important tool for understanding the immune system and its functions.

Such is the case with the slide and tube Widal test. The agglutinins against the ‘0’ (somatic) and ‘H’ (flagellar)
To determine the presence or absence of antigens or antibodies in a patient, many tests have been developed that use the interaction of antibodies and antigens. These tests require specificity and sensitivity. Specificity refers to the property of only binding to one antigen. Sensitivity means that the antibody can recognize and bind the antigen.
The main reaction of immune system and immunology is the interaction between antibody and antigens. This is the reason to
Single Radial Immunodiffusion also referred to as Mancini technique is a quantitative immunodiffusion technique that is used to measure the antigen's concentration by measuring the size of the precipitin-based ring created by the interaction between the antigen with the antibody at the optimal concentration. The antibody is embedded in the agarose gel, while the antigen is diffused into it in the form of a radiatal pattern.
