[edit intro]

In medicine and immunology, a immunologic test is any test that uses immunologic techniques.[1]

Regarding types of substrates being tested:

* Immunoassays and serologic tests (serologic tests include agglutination tests) use blood samples
* Immunohistochemistry tests use tissue samples.

Regarding methodology:

* Immunoassays such as the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blot, along with the tissue immunohistochemistry fluorescent antibody technique all test the direct binding of antibody to antigen.
* Serologic tests such as agglutination tests (including hemagglutination tests and latex agglutination tests) test secondary immunoglobulin and antigen interactions.
