Definition
A B and T cell screen is a laboratory test to determine the amount of T and B cells (lymphocytes) in the blood.
Immunofluorescence Technique allowing the visualisation of a specific protein in cells or tissue sections (prepared from a biopsy) by binding a specific antibody conjugated to a fluorescent substrate.

Immunofluorescence: Immunoflorescence is a laboratory technique that uses antibodies linked to a light-emitting or fluorescent dye in order to study foreign substances in a tissue sample.
An immunofluorescence assay is a diagnostic technique used to identify antibodies to the HHV-2. These antibodies are proteins that help the body fight against HHV-2. If the specific antibodies are present, a positive diagnosis is made.

Immunofluorescence assays will be done to identify antithyroid microsomal antibodies, antithyroglobulin antibodies, and antimitochondrial antibodies that may be present on thyroid cells.
Positive ELISA results then are tested with a Western blot or immunofluorescence (IFA) assay for confirmation. The combination of the ELISA and Western blot tests is more than 99.
Direct immunofluorescence of clinically normal skin adjacent to a lesion shows granular IgA deposits in the upper dermis.
This uses methods called immunofluorescence or ELISA to measure the level of the antibody that causes PV (the PV auto-antibody) in your bloodstream.
Examination of the biopsy tissue may also involve a process called direct immunofluorescence (DIF). DIF entails staining the tissue with fluorescent dye to make the antibodies "light up" under a special microscope so they can be identified.

is differentially characterised by high serum titres of antibodies to ribonuclease-sensitive extractable (saline soluble) nuclear antigen (nuclear ribonucleoprotein) and a speckled epidermal nuclear staining pattern on direct immunofluorescence.
Culture, of swabs taken from the trachea or lesions, requires inoculation in mycoplasma-free embryos or, more commonly in Mycoplasma Broth followed by plating out on Mycoplasma Agar. Suspect colonies may be identified by immunofluorescence.
