Antibodies in Laboratory Diagnostic Techniques

Dear Colleagues,

Laboratory diagnostics is currently a dynamically developing field of medical science. Modern laboratory techniques are very sensitive and specific. They can measure tens of thousands of identical substances, even at very low concentrations. This would not be possible without the use of diagnostic antibodies. In this Special Issue, we want to focus on current laboratory diagnostic techniques using diagnostic antibodies. Currently, there are no collected studies that cover this subject across a wide range. We also want to go back to the old days, when the introduction of immunodiagnostic methods to medical laboratories revolutionized modern laboratory diagnostics and opened the possibility for patients and doctors to diagnose various diseases by determining very specific markers of various pathologies using ultrasensitive laboratory tests. All this would not be possible without the use of an immunologist and diagnostic antibodies.
